Location
In the French department of the Tarn, in the heart of the Lacaune mountains, in wild unspoilt countryside on the Haut-Languedoc Regional Nature Park borders.
Just a stone’s throw from Sidobre with its amazing curiosities of nature, its granite boulders and its precariously balanced rocks. This middle mountain region is a hikers’ paradise with green forests, lakes and cross-country trails.
Set in a hamlet, away from life’s hustle and bustle, at an altitude of approx. 2,625 ft.
28 miles from Castres, and Castres-Mazamet airport.
78 miles from Carcassonne and its airport (Ryan Air flights).
Description
The property: With a surface area of 9.4 acres, it is situated on the outskirts of a hamlet. The entrance gates are accessed via a stone wall-lined lane.
The castle: Built in the 17th century by a family local to the region, it was modified and extended in the middle of the 19th century. Despite the fact that it is not listed, the coats-of-arms adorning the facades bear witness to its rich past.
This sober, long-shaped building, built of stone, granite and slate, features a prominent square tower.
On the south side, the living rooms lead out on to the terrace which has an unobstructed view.
The north façade with its small round tower and watch turret look down on the outbuilding.
The actual owners have carried out many works and, in particular, provided home comforts: revamping of the roof, installing of an efficient central heating system, electric wiring, insulation as well as bathroom and toilet facilities.
The ground and first floor have been renovated; the second floor awaits its turn.
There is currently 5,166 sq ft of living space with an additional surface area of 2,583 sq ft to be renovated.
The outbuildings: the stone outbuilding is virtually in ruins and needs to be completely restored (approx. 2,153 sq ft).
Our opinion
Lovers of peace and quiet and unspoilt countryside can get back to their roots here, away from all the hustle and bustle of urban life.
This predominantly renovated building could accommodate a large family as a holiday retreat. A bed and breakfast activity could be envisaged once the outstanding works were completed.
