This lovely property is very quietly situated at the edge of a lively village with all amenities in a beautiful region near Castres, Midi-Pyrenees, Occitanie, South of France. The Manor house was built in 1810 by a well known noble family on the foundations of an old building. From the entrance gate the property breathes a spirit of grandeur and well-being. The interior of the Chateau keeps its promises also. The restoration works have been carried out with great care to preserve the authenticity and charm of the property. A beautiful park with bicentenary trees, a large, heated swimming pool with vast terraces, overlooking the Chateau and the unspoiled countryside - all this contributes to the feeling of being in a little paradise. The appropriate place for a luxurious private home or a high class business with B&B, gites and conference rooms.
