Just a few kilometres from Fourcès, at the end of a long driveway and set in an unspoilt, secluded environment, this characterful château dating from the 18th century and remodelled in the 19th century offers an exceptional setting, with far-reaching views over the surrounding countryside and the Pyrenees.
Providing 543 m² of living space and set within 2 hectares of grounds, the property stands out for its generous proportions, historic architectural features and outstanding potential.
The charm is immediately apparent upon entering the spacious entrance hall, featuring a floor decorated with original Roman-style mosaic patterns. The reception rooms have retained many period features, bearing witness to the château's rich history. The sitting room, with its fireplace and 19th-century parquet flooring, provides a welcoming space for entertaining, while the library, with its 18th-century floorboards, offers a more intimate atmosphere. The dining room retains its original built-in cupboards and impressive monumental stone fireplace, preserving its authentic character. The kitchen completes the main living areas, alongside a former kitchen which has retained its fireplace and traditional bread oven.
The ground floor also includes two bedrooms, one of which has its own sitting room, as well as two bathrooms. This layout offers the possibility of single-storey living or comfortably accommodating family and guests.
A wide wooden staircase leads to the first floor, where a landing provides access to six bedrooms and two bathrooms. The parquet flooring, original floorboards and fireplaces found throughout the rooms enhance the property's authentic character. A spacious gallery overlooking the entrance hall completes this floor, further emphasising the grandeur of the residence.
Outside, the outbuildings provide approximately 260 m² of additional space, comprising garages, a boiler room and various rooms offering numerous possibilities for conversion. Former stables complete the ensemble, opening the door to a range of projects, whether for family use or tourism. Two wells are also located on the property.
The château currently benefits from oil-fired central heating. Modernisation work is required, together with upgrading the drainage system to meet current standards, allowing future owners to redesign certain spaces and facilities to suit their own needs and vision.
With its generous proportions, preserved period features, outbuildings and peaceful surroundings, this property represents a wonderful opportunity to create an impressive family home or develop a charming bed and breakfast business in the heart of the Gascon countryside.
