Chateau/Castle Xix to Restore, Surrounded by Vineyards in the Beautiful Tarn

Description

Summary
XIX Chateau with 2.72 hectares to restore, set amongst vineyards in the beautiful Tarn region.

In the heart of the Gaillac vineyards, 40 minutes from Toulouse (international airport/TGV) and 20 minutes from Albi, a UNESCO world heritage city, come and discover this dominant Chateau for renovation.

The Chateau is set in 2.72 hectares of grounds including a large pond in a beautiful rural location, visible on approach from a distance away with its four towers rising above the vines.

The Chateau has panoramic views including the snow capped tops of the Pyrenees in the distance (2h30 away) which you can see on a clear day.

The Chateau requires major renovation, including parts of the roof and two towers.
It can be lived in if required whilst works are carried out, living the French dream, which isn't difficult to do here!
There are plenty of markets for fresh fruit and veg to wander round and soak up the atmosphere.
The local village Lisle sur Tarn is 5 minutes away, a beautiful XIII century bastide village with cafes and a bistro in the square where you can sit and watch the world go by.
There are many other lovely medieval villages around this area too.
Gaillac 10 minutes from the Chateau is a larger town with all the amenities.
Albi which is 20 minutes up the road is a UNESCO world heritage city with the largest brick built cathedral in the world and has typical French brocante every Saturday morning.
