Historic 18th C chateau with outbuildings

Historic 18th-century residence between Castres and Albi, set within nearly 3 ha of mature grounds. Offering almost twenty-five rooms, including three reception rooms, a large kitchen and fourteen bedrooms, the property retains numerous period features and has approximately 160m2 of attic space awaiting conversion.

Situated in the Tarn between Castres and Albi, this substantial 18th-century residence occupies a secluded position within unspoilt countryside.

The property is hidden from view and surrounded by mature grounds, while remaining within easy reach of the region's principal towns. A lively village with shops, restaurants, everyday services and leisure facilities is approximately two kilometres away.

Castres is around 25 minutes by car, with Albi also readily accessible. Toulouse can be reached via the motorway, while the forthcoming opening of the A69 motorway is expected to further improve connections between Toulouse and the Tarn.

Dating from the 18th century, the property retains the character and proportions of a substantial French family residence.

Facing due south, the house enjoys generous natural light and views across the mature grounds. Original features include period fireplaces, high ceilings, oak flooring and large windows, creating a sense of space and architectural continuity.

The accommodation extends to almost twenty-five rooms, including three elegant reception rooms, a large kitchen and fourteen bedrooms. The generous scale of the house provides considerable flexibility for both family living and guest accommodation.

Restoration work is already well underway, although further work remains to be completed. This provides a future owner with the opportunity to finish the renovation and adapt the property according to their own requirements.

Approximately 160m2 of attic space also remain available for conversion, subject to the necessary permissions, providing significant additional potential.

The fourteen existing bedrooms, extensive reception accommodation and additional attic space make the property particularly adaptable for a future owner wishing to develop a larger-scale project.

With almost twenty-five rooms, fourteen bedrooms, approximately 160m2 of convertible attic space and nearly three hectares of mature grounds, it offers an unusual opportunity to restore and develop a historic family property in a peaceful rural setting, while remaining within practical reach of Castres, Albi and Toulouse.
