Property Description

About 20 minutes from Capestang, this beautiful 18th-century château is truly one of a kind and steeped in history. It has been carefully restored over the years, keeping its original features and authentic character while adding modern comforts.

An independent guest house completes the property, ideal for hosting visitors or running a rental business. It offers spacious living areas, a fitted kitchen, and several comfortable bedrooms.

There is also a large two-level outbuilding with further potential for a conversion project.

Outside, the estate sits in a peaceful natural setting. The lush grounds enhance the château's façade, and the olive grove set slightly apart provides a practical parking area. At the rear, a large shared courtyard completes the outdoor spaces.
