About the Property

Exceptional 13th-century château with landscaped park and swimming pool, meticulously restored and transformed into a remarkable reception estate, set within nearly 18 hectares in the heart of the Lauragais region of France. This historic property, originally built by Guillaume de Plaigne, a Cathar lord, offers a unique blend of medieval architecture and contemporary comfort. Located just 45 minutes from both Toulouse and Carcassonne, it enjoys a strategic position amidst the picturesque landscapes of the Pays de Cocagne. The château, which has belonged to the same Franco-American family since 1973, showcases a successful marriage of historic character and modern amenities. Its stone façades reveal remarkable architectural features, including mullioned windows, monumental period fireplaces, and elegant reception rooms. The impressive Knights' Hall and a chapel nestled within a tower further enhance the estate's historical significance. The interior is complemented by a collection of beautifully appointed guest rooms, each reflecting the spirit of Languedoc and an openness to diverse cultures. The estate boasts a magnificent four-hectare landscaped park, complete with centuries-old trees and riding avenues, while a natural basin swimming pool integrates seamlessly into the tranquil environment. Currently operated as a venue for private receptions and exclusive stays, the château accommodates up to 130 guests, making it an exceptional opportunity for discerning purchasers seeking a historic family estate or a prestigious hospitality venture.
