Summary
As you approach this impressive property down its driveway with hedges on either side, you will be struck by the impressive courtyard with original brick pillars in front of the Italianate and Toulouse-style brick facade of this house which has been reroofed within the last 27 years and contains main original features including cabochon floors, massive fireplaces which possibly dates from 1686. The property is set in nearly 4 ha of land with lovely views over the surrounding countryside, many mature trees, lawns and grounds, a swimming pool and various outbuildings including garaging.

Location
Near Salvagnac and Monclar du Quercy Tarn

Access
Driveway leads around to parking in front of the house.
Toulouse Blagnac is just under an hour's drive away.

Interior
Inside the house (300m2), we find a loggia (28m2) running part of the length of the front with French doors leading into the two principal reception rooms (38m2 and 32m2), both with impressive massive back to back fireplaces with many original features including Corinthium columns and original cabochon flooring, a small fitted kitchen (12,80m2) in a former chapel with vaulted ceilings and doors to outside. From the end dining room, a secret door leads through to a large garage (45m2) which used to be the original kitchen and has great potential to be converted back to a large kitchen/breakfast room with two arched brick openings to the front.

The first floor, is reached via fine staircase, with a cloakroom under the stairs, and leads up to a delightful covered Italian style terrace (28m2) with huge brick arches and terracotta tiled floor. Two bedrooms are set off this terrace, both of which have massive brick fireplaces and parquet floors, one is a large corner bedroom (43m2) with access on to a classic first floor terrace with ballustrading and to an ensuite shower room and the other bedroom (35m2) has an old style shower room adjoining. A passageway leads around to the wing with a separate shower room (10m2) with basin and WC and two further bedrooms (15 m2 and 10m2)

The fine staircase leads up to the second floor and to a small landing and then to a dormitory bedroom 5 (33m2) , perfect for loads of children, with a bathroom at the end with a bath ands shower, WC and basin with great views. A sixth bedroom with doors to a WC and to a shower room with basin. The seventh bedroom presently has four beds in it and the final bedroom on the end has triple aspect windows with a parquet floor (28m2 and 21 m2). There is a separate shower room with a cubicle, glass wash basin and WC. Cupboard with ventilation system.

Exterior
The grounds are set out as in a park and extends to more than 5ha in total and overlooks the rolling countryside so characteristic of our beautiful region, and on a clear day, you'll be able to see the Pyrenees. The salt water swimming pool (12m x 6m) is surrounded by fencing and is surrounded by fabulous majestic trees. The liner was replaced three years ago.

To describe it only by its surface area (over 300m2) or the number of bedrooms (7) would be wrong. It is the timeless atmosphere of the place, imbued with romance, with its two galleries opening onto the courtyard via brick vaults and the view, always the view, whether from the terrace of the large master bedroom or from one of the umbrella pines. The large hangar with its stone pillars, further down the hillside, is also very beautiful.

Not to be missed!

Exclusive.

This elegant property, accessible by a beautiful and long bridleway, is nestled in the heart of a vast estate of 12.5 hectares. It includes a castle, a large annex house and numerous outbuildings.

Protected by an old moat that is still visible, the castle was built on the site of a 12th-century Cistercian barn, dependent on the abbey of Obazine in Limousin, which gave its name to the property. In the nineteenth century, it was profoundly modified, now consisting of a rectangular main building flanked to the north by two towers, topped with tall pepper pots, and to the east by a square tower.

Additional Details
Chateau history
Throughout its rich history, the ownership of this chateau has passed through the hands of esteemed families, each contributing to its legacy. In the 15th and 16th centuries, the Couvidat family held sway over its grandeur. By the late 1630s, the Vidart family of Saint-Etienne became its custodians. In 1754, the Viot de la Vergne family took ownership, and during the tumultuous times of the Revolution, a the Roudareix called this residence home.
The Rocquart family assumed ownership in 1846, marking another chapter in the chateau's storied past, and subsequently, it found itself under the care of the Chastenet family, who continue to hold the keys to its historical charm. Poised on a hill, the chateau commands a panoramic view of the village of Lesterps, standing as a timeless testament to the passage of time.
The architectural splendor unfolds across multiple levels, encompassing a basement, ground floor, first and second floors, and a spacious attic room. The roof, adorned with slates, features long sides and broken rumps, punctuated by dormers that add to its distinctive character. A half-finished round tower at the rear houses the staircase, crowned by a broken conical roof seamlessly connected to the main roof.
Lime-covered elevations, crafted with precision, showcase the enduring craftsmanship of the era, with corner chains and opening frames meticulously fashioned from granite. The ensemble is completed by outbuildings, including a barn, a stable, an altered dwelling, and a well, adding layers of functionality to the chateau's historical charm.

Summary
Price lowered!
Located in the south of the Lozère department, with its Mediterranean climate, mild winters and peaceful lifestyle in the heart of the historic Cévennes, and nestled in a lush green setting, this exceptional property stretches down to the Gardon river, with its natural swimming pools. Most of the estate is on gently sloping ground, which makes it easy to maintain, and fairly rare in this area. This is one of the major assets of this property, which is at walking distance from a peaceful village that offers a grocery store, restaurants, and during the summers, a weekly market. The architecture dates back to the Middle Ages; a fortress built by Templar monks, with square and round towers overlooking the valley. This estate is situated in one of the most remarkable locations in this small Cévennes region. Surrounded by nearly 10 hectares of meadows, vegetable gardens, fruit trees and, of course, chestnut trees, the property also features the ruins of an old mill with a fish basin. This place that lends itself to hosting, with 3 gites that are mostly in good shape and could be functional with little work, but this property is also perfect for creating, meditating and for people who need privacy and peace.

Location
The village is on the trail of Robert Stevenson, and attracts many visitors. The area is known for hiking, bicycling, nature and history. Larger supermarkets are at a 20 minute drive. Montpellier is at less than 2 hours, and Nice around 4.5 hours.

Interior
Vaulted ceilings in the living room. Historic staircase leading to the second floor.

Exterior
Solid foundations. Round towers and square tower. Water source. Water feature, prairies, forest, surrounded by landscaped gardens, vegetable garden with greenhouse.

Additional Details
The house is in need of renovation, and to be updated to current standards. The roofs are generally in good condition, except the roof of the 2-bedroom gite, which needs to be addressed. This property was my father's primary residence since the mid-eighties, when he purchased and renovated the property. Visits can be organized; the widow still lives on site.

Revenue Generation
Due to circumstances, the 3 gites are no longer rented, but they provided a steady source of revenue as there are not a lot of vacation properties on offer in this very popular area.

Four hectares of verdant parkland abounding with ancient trees, secret corners and multiple dependencies envelope this historic 18th- century Chateau on the outskirts of a bustling market town near St Hilaire du Harcouët.
Built upon the remains of a 13th Century medieval fortification the grounds still host an ancient feudal mound, a moat and ponds to be renovated, a stream, a vast coach house with development potential, a boulangerie, a Rotunda and many other remnants of the old fortifications.
Formerly home to a Princess and various members of the nobility the Chateau was substantially destroyed by the 100 Years War and the Revolution of 1701. The current Chateau was salvaged from a wing of the 18th century version and is now both a grand family home and a luxurious Chambre d'hôte with room for further renovation and expansion.
From the garden a set of double stairs leads lead up and into the large entrance hall with solid oak staircase leading to the 1st and 2nd floors. At the back of the hallway are the stairs which descend to the Rez de Jardin.
The Chateau is replete with high ceilings, enormous rooms, wooden paneling and flooring, vast chimneys, ancient beams, beautiful double-glazed windows and all renovations have been undertaken with sympathy and passion by the current owners.
There are cast iron radiators forged in Germany linked to modern heating systems, beautifully appointed bathrooms supported by a conforming micro station fosse and a robust electrical system that supports modern day living.
The entrance hall leads to an enormous Salon with a period fireplace, a magnificent Library, a functional office and a vast room that has yet to be designated.
On the next floor are three completely renovated bedroom suites all of a substantial size with ensuites and one with a nursery attached. On the top floor are a further 3 bedrooms and a number of un-renovated rooms which offer the potential for additional bedrooms, bathrooms or kitchen space. Thereby enabling separate owners' accommodation if required.
In the Rez de Jardin you will find the kitchen, utility rooms, dining room, a cellar, laundry room and other offices. All of which have supported the current owners in running a highly desirable luxury Chambre d'hôte.
The Chateau's proximity to the glorious bocage of Normandy. Mont St Michel and the beaches of Brittany combined with its timeless air has ensured visitors return again and again.

Just ten minutes from the historic city of Limoges stands this exceptional château, fully renovated with passion, style, and elegance. The property is turnkey, allowing the new owners to simply move in and enjoy the results of the meticulous craftsmanship invested throughout.
Equally suited as a luxurious family residence or as a business venture, the château is registered for commercial use and has previously operated as a successful luxury bed and breakfast and wedding venue, generating around euros250,000 per year before the owners retired. Another attractive option is full-service château rental, with the potential to earn up to euros15,000 per week across a 26-week tourist season, making this not only a remarkable home but also a lucrative opportunity.
The château is set within just under 2.5 hectares of beautifully landscaped parkland, designed to provide privacy and tranquillity. Arriving through the grand wrought-iron gates, visitors are greeted by the striking façade, with its twin towers at the front and contrasting traditional rectangular rear, a rare architectural combination that makes this residence truly unique.
Inside, the ground floor opens with an impressive entrance hallway that runs from front to back, giving access to the terraces. There is a tower bar and social room, a large formal dining room, a generous lounge, a ground-floor bedroom with en-suite, a semi-commercial kitchen with larder, as well as utility and service areas including a staff bedroom with en-suite. On the first floor are four large bedroom suites, each with its own bathroom, including one with a luxurious spa bath. The second floor offers four further suites along with the romantic bridal suite, complete with its circular tower bedroom, dressing room, and en-suite. The third floor is a vast attic, currently unused, but easily adaptable into self-contained apartments if desired.
The landscaped grounds are designed for both leisure and grandeur, with terraces, verandas, fountains, and hidden corners for quiet relaxation. Guests and residents can enjoy the swimming pool, jacuzzi, sauna, tennis court, and even a small pitch and putt course. The fully restored Orangerie is a stunning feature, currently operating as a tea room and function space, while the large garage accommodates up to six cars above the original vaulted wine cellar, still used for storing wine today.
The château combines history and authenticity with modern comfort. Some original windows have been preserved to maintain character, while the property benefits from partial double glazing, mains drainage, full central gas heating, and extensive electrical upgrades.
This is a château of rare distinction, combining elegance, charm, and potential. Words and photographs can only suggest its atmosphere; to truly understand its beauty, it must be experienced in person. (3.99 % fees incl. VAT at the buyer's expense.)
