South of France, Magnificent 15th-Century Medieval Chateau

Property Description

AUDE - 12 KM FROM CASTELNAUDARY

This superb property is both a chateau and a fortified farm, with a fine collection of buildings dating from the 15th to 17th centuries.
Access is via a beautiful plane tree-lined driveway leading to a double châtelet, a beautiful dovecote and a hangar with large stone arches.

The entrance to the chateau is via a courtyard of honor with a wide stone staircase leading to a beautiful vaulted entrance, extended by a magnificent 18th-century monumental staircase with baluster, which serves the renovated part to the west and the part to be renovated to the east.

The renovated second floor features a library entrance on the right, two bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, and a dressing room. To the left, a huge gallery leads to a beautiful living room with a fireplace, in the south-facing dungeon overlooking the surrounding countryside, and two bedrooms with en suite bathrooms on the second floor.

On the ground floor, a medieval kitchen with a large stone fireplace opens onto an inner courtyard with a central well, leading to a cellar and chapel.
From the kitchen, you enter a magnificent dining room with a monumental stone fireplace, followed by two other rooms with painted French ceilings.

Upstairs, two large rooms followed by a gallery with painted coffered ceilings from the 17th century lead to three other rooms that need to be finished.

A large west-facing outbuilding houses a heated indoor swimming pool.
A caretaker's cottage with a lounge, a kitchen, three bedrooms and a bathroom complement the house.

Two towers and a watchtower surround the chateau to the north, overlooking a garden. The château is surrounded by 4 ha of land, part of which is planted with trees.
