Description

Just 10 minutes from the historic city of Albi, home to its UNESCO World Heritage-listed cathedral, and less than an hour from Toulouse International Airport, this exceptional fortified château offers a rare blend of history, elegance, and modern comfort.



Dating from the 16th century, the château has been meticulously restored by its current owners, preserving its remarkable architectural heritage while creating a comfortable and versatile residence. The property is arranged as two beautifully maintained, self-contained apartments, making it ideal as a family home, multi-generational residence, or hospitality venture.



A striking entrance tower, featuring an original circular stone staircase dating back to the 1500s, provides access to the principal apartment on the first floor. This elegant living space includes a welcoming entrance hall, a spacious light-filled sitting room with an impressive period fireplace, a study, and a dining room opening onto terraces overlooking the 12m x 6m swimming pool. The charming kitchen occupies a smaller turret, while the accommodation further comprises three bedrooms and two bathrooms. Continuing up the tower staircase, a unique circular bedroom enjoys breathtaking panoramic views across the surrounding countryside.



The ground-floor apartment offers equally attractive accommodation, comprising a comfortable living room, a kitchen opening onto a private terrace, two bedrooms, and two bathrooms. Both apartments benefit from independent heating systems powered by an efficient pellet boiler.



Set within approximately two acres of beautifully landscaped grounds, the estate features a swimming pool with a summer kitchen and traditional bread oven, a fully renovated pigeonnier providing additional living accommodation with kitchen and shower room, and an orchard of around 30 fruit trees. Two wells and three garages further enhance the property's appeal.



Additional amenities include a sauna, wine cellar, workshop, and an impressive vaulted cellar, completing this remarkable country estate.



Combining centuries of history with exceptional modern comfort, this unique château represents a rare opportunity to acquire a distinguished property in one of southwest France's most sought-after locations.

About Beaux Villages Immobilier, Gironde

3 Rue Robert Descorne, 33580 Monségur

Beaux Villages Immobilier specialises in property for sale in southern France. We pride ourselves on treating everyone – whether looking to purchase or sell a property – as an important individual, not a financial opportunity.

We all live and work in southern France and as buyers ourselves, we remember what it was like to take that leap of faith and trust an agent we didn't really know. We go the extra mile to take the stress out of buying a property whether your budget is €100k or €100 million.

France is the top destination of choice for property buyers in Europe. A stable property market, low crime, long life expectancy, low population density, diverse culture and world famous health, education and transport systems are frequently quoted. This has been our own personal happy experience.

Based in southern France, we are the first port of call for thousands of people each year who are looking to buy a home here.

Covering the entire southern half of France from the Atlantic coast across to the Mediterranean and the alps, our patch includes some of the prettiest villages and towns and most beautiful countryside and coast in the whole of France.

We have the know-how you need

Beaux Villages Immobilier is an estate agency with unbeatable local and legal knowledge; we are here to help every step of the way. Our central ethos is a complete respect for the life-changing events involved in buying or selling a property. So, if you have questions or need advice, fire away.

At every stage of the process from initial enquiry to the day of completion and beyond you will have a named contact in the company. Our expert sales team and dedicated, office-based administrative and legal professionals will be available at all times to take your call.

The company

Beaux Villages Immobilier was founded at the start of the financial crisis in early 2008 by Lynn Longley. These beginnings, in Monségur, (Gironde) were soon followed by offices in Verteillac and Lalinde (Dordogne). Now we are also well established with teams of property professionals working across the whole of southern France.

Since these early beginnings the team has grown to include several nationalities speaking a dozen languages and incorporating different cultures. Our common denominator is a love of the area that we have chosen to live and work in, and a desire to share that.

Now, post Brexit, we expect to open more offices and cover more areas.
