A Timeless Masterpiece in the Heart of the Aude

Nestled on over three hectares of pristine grounds in a village in l'Aude, this magnificent château offers an unparalleled opportunity to own a piece of French history. With its origins dating back to the 1800s, this grand estate combines the allure of timeless French architecture with the luxurious comforts of modern living. A rare find for the discerning buyer, this historic property features meticulously restored interiors, expansive living spaces, and breathtaking views that make it the perfect retreat or statement residence.

A Historic Estate Like No Other
From the moment you pass through the gates of this extraordinary château, the grandeur of its surroundings captures your imagination. Originally constructed in the 1800s and expanded in the early 19th century, this estate includes a charming chapel from the mid-1800s, a majestic addition, and an impeccable restoration that honors its storied past while embracing contemporary luxury.

The stately façade, with its elegant stonework, French windows, and meticulously manicured gardens, immediately evokes the grandeur of the French aristocracy. Lush, landscaped grounds, serene outdoor terraces, and private courtyards provide a tranquil retreat with the ultimate privacy—perfect for entertaining, reflection, or enjoying the stunning natural beauty of the Aude region.

A Garden Oasis – Greenhouse, Summer House, and Northern Exposure Views
The estate is surrounded by carefully cultivated gardens, where you'll find areas designed for both formal elegance and serene relaxation. The summer house, located on the side of the property facing northern exposure, offers the perfect sanctuary for unwinding and enjoying private garden views. The northern-facing terrace is equally inviting, offering a tranquil space to bask in natural light and savor the peaceful surroundings. This northern side of the estate, including the chicken coop area, ensures a serene and private atmosphere.

In contrast, the guard house, courtyard, and dining room all boast stunning southern-facing views, with sweeping panoramas of the Pyrenees Mountains visible from the guard house. This southern exposure ensures sunlight throughout the day, while offering a perfect vantage point for enjoying the incredible landscape that surrounds the estate.

Grand Interiors and Sophisticated Living Spaces
Stepping inside, the grandeur of the château is immediately apparent. The 22m² foyer welcomes you with its soaring ceilings, original hardwood floors, and a breathtaking ceiling fresco that sets the tone for the entire home. The first-floor layout flows seamlessly, offering an expansive 55m² salon/game room with stunning moldings, period details, and large windows that frame views of the estate’s grounds. This space offers the perfect setting for both lavish soirées and intimate gatherings, while its flexibility allows for a range of purposes, from formal entertaining to quiet relaxation.

Adjacent to the salon, you’ll find a private 20m² study/office, the ideal space for productive work or peaceful contemplation. The 40m² kitchen is every chef’s dream, equipped with modern amenities, ample storage, and adjacent utility and storage rooms. A selection of wine caves scattered throughout the estate ensures the finest collection of vintages is always at hand, ready to entertain or to indulge in quiet moments of personal pleasure.

First Floor – Luxury and Privacy in Every Bedroom
The first floor offers a luxurious and spacious layout, with an expansive 35m² hallway and a charming 15m² alier that connects the rooms. This level includes eight beautifully appointed bedrooms, each offering ample space, light, and character:

Bedroom 1 (9m²) is a cozy, intimate space with elegant detailing.

Bedroom 2 (20m²) boasts an en-suite 8m² shower room and is perfect for long stays.

Bedroom 3 (25m²) offers a serene, spacious retreat with an en-suite shower room.

Bedroom 4 (23m²) features a private shower room, making it a true guest suite.

Bedroom 5 (16m²) provides ample space for family or guests, with direct access to the grounds.

Bedroom 6 (30m²), with its 15m² adjoining bathroom, is a peaceful haven.

Bedroom 7 (28m²), with its own 8m² bathroom, offers both luxury and privacy.

Bedroom 8 (11m²), while smaller, offers an opportunity for further customization or expansion.

Additional functional spaces on the first floor include a 12m² utility/laundry room, with potential to transform Bedroom 8 into a larger suite or an office space. The layout allows for endless possibilities, all while maintaining an air of privacy and comfort.

Top Floor – Expansive and Adaptable Spaces
Ascend the grand staircase to the top floor, where a spacious 13m² palier and a nearly 20m² hallway lead to four more beautifully sized bedrooms:

Bedroom 9 (12m²) offers the perfect setting for guests or a private retreat.

Bedroom 10 (15m²) includes a 6m² closet and ample room for customization.

A shared 15m² full bath/shower room provides convenience and luxury for these rooms.

Bedrooms 11 (22m²) and 12 (21m²) offer expansive space for additional bedrooms or home offices, with the potential for further refinishing.

In addition, over 75m² of non-habitable space awaits your personal touch, whether you envision an art studio, home theater, or private gym. The top floor offers a blank canvas to suit your lifestyle.

An Indoor Pool, Wellness, and Entertainment
One of the château’s most impressive features is its indoor swimming pool, located on the ground floor. Spanning 8.5 x 4 meters, the heated pool is set against a backdrop of brick inlay floors and is a serene oasis of luxury. Adjacent to the pool, you’ll find a spacious changing room and bathroom, ensuring convenience and privacy. Between the pool and the main house, a garage awaits transformation into a 60m² living space, further adding to the property’s already impressive versatility.

A Historic Chapel and Equestrian Facilities
This château offers more than just an exquisite residence. The beautifully ordained 40m² chapel on-site provides a sacred space for private moments, family celebrations, or even weddings. Its classic design, stained glass windows, and peaceful ambiance make it a truly unique and tranquil feature.

For the equestrian enthusiast, the estate includes a 75m² ecurie with two current horse stalls and room for five, with additional facilities including multiple garages, a mini maisonette, and a 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom guard house. These additions not only enhance the estate’s value but also provide endless possibilities for customization.

Unrivaled Potential and Investment Opportunity
