About this Property

This magnificent early 19th Century Château has been restored with luxury and a flair for interior design.

Discretely shielded behind high walls, attractive gates and 2 imposing gatehouses is an ornamental courtyard in front of the main entrance.

The chateau is set over 3 floors. The grand central stairs lead to two more floors of exquisitely decorated, oversized bedrooms and suites equipped with beautifully and recently renovated bathrooms and lounge areas.

The renovation boasts perfect finishes, high quality materials and modern facilities. The original character shine through in the vaulted ceilings, large windows, plasterwork and gorgeous original floors.


Up into the attic you will marvel at the highly unusual wrought iron roofwork underpinning the classical French slate tiles, rare in the Mediterranean but more commonly found in the Loire valley. There is even a functional clocktower resplendent in its mechanics.

You enter into the chateau's princely hall with fine mosaic floors and sweeping staircase from which the reception rooms fan out.

The ground floor boasts chateau-high ceilings, multiple living areas, kitchen facilities and an entry to the wine cellars below (dressed to provide a perfect setting for wine tasting meetings)

You walk out to the south-facing aspect of the chateau onto a lengthy and elegant covered terrace on one side and enclosed orangerie to the other which serves as a perfect spot for breakfast. To the left a sleek, heated infinity pool overlooks the gardens. This perfect marriage of the ultra-modern and classical architecture is a theme that continues throughout the property.

The terrace overlooks 5 hectares of mature parkland with magnificent, ancient trees and ornamental lake supplied directly from the Canal du Midi.

The gardens are artfully landscaped with attractive walkways, unusual planting and a bar and entertaining area that can be easily dismantled when not in use.

Further to the main property is a fully renovated, 3 bedroom/2 bathroom house with a lounge, kitchen, private garden, terrace and its own separate driveway.

Elsewhere is staff accommodation and 2 further properties to renovate (subject to any necessary permissions) as well as beautiful agricultural stone buildings making up around 1500 m2 of potential development.

The property is ideally situated near 5 international airports, the Mediterranean one way and ski slopes of the Pyrenees the other. This region is producing some of the most innovative wines in France.

A unique, stylish property awaits a unique buyer, contact us for details

Carcassonne

Languedoc-Roussillon

From Provence to the Pyrénées, the sun-baked region, often shortened to simply Languedoc, is home to wine, Roman history, Cathar castles and some rather fine beaches. This area produces around 30% of France’s wine output with some very agreeable rosés amongst them. 

This western stretch of the mediterranean features long sandy beaches, charming fishing ports and a sprinkling of exotic flamingoes!

Testimonials

    Testimonial by Paul FINCH

    “I bought my dream property La Balie through Beaux Village in April 2022, I had been looking at properties throughout France and fell in love with the Lot et Garonne where Beaux Village has offices.  Vanessa, their representative who contacted me after I had inquired about another property helped locate properties that were not going to waste my time. More than that she really helped me understand what I was getting into and worked tirelessly to answer questions not easy to look into for someone living in Hampshire, United Kingdom. For example she visited the local Marie and farmers who I was going to be neighbours with to check there were no telephone masts, wind or pig farms about to be erected on my doorstep, so I really felt I was making an informed decision when I went through the buying process. Being English herself but speaking French, I think she had a real understanding for my concerns and was always on hand to check something or help with a recommendation. She was great in providing the missing information my UK solicitor asked for and when it came to the final part of completion, she was with me in the notaires office. Because of her professional input I’m happily living in France, not for one moment regretting my decision.” Paul FINCH
