Overview of the 16th Century Château

This authentic 16th-century château offers approximately 900m² of habitable space, along with three independent cottages and over five hectares of park and woodland situated on the Canal du Midi. Originally established in the 16th century, the château was redesigned in 1710 by an Italian architect, giving it a distinctive Palazzo style.

Location and Accessibility

The property is completely private yet conveniently located just 10 minutes from the market town of Castelnaudary, 20 minutes from Carcassonne, and 40 minutes from Toulouse. This ideal location allows for easy access to essential amenities and local attractions.

Main House Features

The main house has undergone significant restoration, ensuring that many original features have been carefully preserved. One of the standout areas is a large double aspect entrance hall, which leads to a bright sitting room with three sets of windows, providing views of the surrounding park. To the left, there is a formal dining room, again featuring views over the park and a large fireplace.

Bedrooms and Renovation Potential

The upper floor contains several large bedrooms and bathrooms. Additionally, there are some unrenovated rooms that present opportunities for further development, making it possible to create extra usable space according to individual needs. Another staircase leads up to a substantial attic space, again offering potential for conversion.
