Property Description

Discover this remarkable 12th-century château and fortified farm, complete with turrets, a dovecote, chapel, and outbuildings, offering stunning views of the Pyrenees. Ideally located near Carcassonne, Castelnaudary, Bram, and international airports, this property is ideal for private residence or premium projects such as events or boutique hotels.

Originally constructed in the 12th century as a fiefdom dedicated to Saint Martin, this estate serves as both a castle and a fortified farm. With its square layout, four corner turrets, internal courtyard, and former defensive moats, it retains the essence and strength of medieval architecture. Having passed through the hands of the Sully, Lévis, Castelpers, and Raymond families, it was the site of notable historical moments, including a siege by Protestants in 1570. The military line of Raymond de Lasbordes resided there until 1776. After various upheavals over the centuries, a heritage enthusiast restored it to its present splendour through careful and ambitious restoration.

You reach the château via a grand avenue of plane trees leading to an entrance flanked by two towers. Nearby, you'll find a charming dovecote, a stone farm shed with three large archways, a separate caretaker's house with three bedrooms, and a large converted outbuilding with a heated indoor swimming pool that faces south.

The ground floor features a medieval kitchen with a monumental fireplace, an interior courtyard with a central well, and a former chapel that was once a sheepfold. There are two spacious living rooms and other rooms to be converted, as well as access to a room with an original side portcullis overlooking the park.

The Upper Floor

The largely renovated upper floor includes a hall and hallway, a huge reception room, a living room with a fireplace, and suites with bathrooms or shower rooms. One notable bedroom features an architectural curiosity to discover during your visit.

The property also features recent or new window frames and joinery, oil-fired central heating, a gym, an orchard, and parkland to be replanted on the north side (the lime trees and the old pond remain).
