Tarn: Exceptional, Anglès, magnificent property with castle, outbuildings, park, and land around 6.13 hectares

In the commune of Anglès, famous for its forest and nearby lakes, lies this unique property, an exceptional estate in the heart of a rich and dense forest. A treasure of our local heritage, the 580m² castle that stands proudly here has been the subject of books and collections, representing a whole page of history in this wild and unspoilt part of Occitania!
Looking back through history, we discover that Jacques de Citon owned the château in 1686, when it was still unfinished. It passed through many hands and witnessed turbulent episodes in French history, including the Reign of Terror, anti-revolutionary uprisings and royalist revolts. The château was rebuilt at the beginning of the 20th century.
The scene is set!
This estate also includes a former farmhouse measuring , a barn , a former stable and numerous old buildings such as an oven
6 hectares of land in a single block, with park, terraced gardens and meadows with water
And on a clear day, the Pyrenees mountains can be seen !

Let's begin our tour. Hidden away deep in the forest, we take the access path and discover in the distance an ornate wrought iron gate and... there it is, magical and mystical, with its two side towers and central structure, its balustrade forecourt in the heart of a wooded park with century-old trees! It is imposing, with at least forty openings.
Surrounded by a farmhouse and various outbuildings, this is THE property everyone dreams of!
After climbing a few steps, we find ourselves on the front steps and terrace.
Pushing open the massive door, we enter the main entrance and its 21m² hall
. We are indeed in a château with its wood-panelled walls, old floors and ornate doors. The entrance hall leads to a magnificent 29m² dining room with ceiling mouldings, wood panelling and a fireplace. In its extension is a scullery and a fitted kitchen, also with a fireplace, as in all the other rooms! From the kitchen, you reach the large rear corridor with its WC and toilet area. You can either return to the hall or continue on to the office/library, the centrepiece of the house, which in turn adjoins the magnificent 30m² living room. And here we are back in the hall!

The layout allows for communication or privacy in each room.
Everywhere, there is plenty of light thanks to all the south-facing windows, inviting in the sunshine.
Another gem is the monumental wooden staircase that leads to the first floor, with its majestic corridor opening onto the rear and a 33m² enfilade serving no fewer than six bedrooms and their adjoining dressing rooms or shower rooms, marble fireplaces, parquet flooring and wood panelling.
Let us take this incredible staircase once again and we find ourselves on the second floor, where there are nine additional bedrooms, two dressing rooms and a shower room. As in many châteaux, this level will require further work.
The castle covers 580m² with a reference area of 386m² as the top floor is not heated.
Let's explore the exterior, an enclosed park, which opens onto a double staircase revealing two superb terraced gardens just waiting to be brought back to life, well sheltered below, spaces conducive to daydreaming, I assure you!
The last garden is picture-postcard perfect, offering views of meadows stretching as far as the eye can see, with forests bordering them in the distance... and if the sun is shining, you can even see the Pyrenees!
As for the outbuildings, there is an old two-storey farmhouse in need of renovation, a large two-storey barn, a henhouse, an old bread oven and a two-storey stable!

This estate is just waiting for its lucky future owner, who will be able to restore it to its former glory.
It is a beautiful renovation project that needs to be planned and undertaken, but the result will be magical, in our beautiful and mysterious region of Occitanie.
