Villefranche-de-Lauragais, Midi-Pyrénées 31290

The Middle Ages came to an end in the former 'Pays de Cocagne' when this very pretty castle was built in 1462. It was then remodeled and restored over the following centuries to give it the appearance we know today. It proudly overlooks the surrounding countryside offering a whole range of breathtaking views in absolute calm. For nature lovers, the park that surrounds the property will allow you to admire multi-hundred-year-old cedars, one of which is over 650 years old. It is in this peaceful and bucolic setting that the chateau welcomes us. Spread over three levels and deploying more than 540m, it consists of a magnificent entrance hall inviting us to discover its many large rooms: a fully fitted and equipped kitchen, a very beautiful living room with its marble fireplace, a dining room overlooking the tower of the chateau, a completely renovated office, 5 toilets, two verandas (currently used as a laundry room and orangery) giving access - just like the kitchen - to the terrace and private swimming pool of the chateau, 12 magnificent bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 5 shower rooms and a whole part which has kept the charm of yesteryear and only needs to be restored... The property also has three independent gites with garden and private swimming pool. Completely renovated and sold furnished, allowing immediate additional income. Currently, the capacity is two people for the studio (1 bed), 4 people (2 beds) for the second cottage and 6 people (3 beds) for the third. Although rented punctually, they generate a very interesting income. In addition, some outbuildings have not been renovated and still offer good development prospects. This property is ideal for all stone lovers looking for a place that has kept its soul and its authenticity. Ideal for bed and breakfast and gite activity, this place is perfect for welcoming people wishing to enjoy the calm of nature in a unique setting that invites you only to daydream...
