Standing tall in the centre of the village of Cailhavel, this impressive chateau with origins over 1000 years ago is the perfect property if you are looking for a piece of French history and your own French chateau.
A sweeping drive brings you to the grand entrance with a double-height door that leads into an expansive hallway and majestic staircase. On the ground floor there is an open living and kitchen area to one side of the property with a wood burner and exposed stone walls and beams providing a real sense of character. This space was previously divided up into separate rooms could be used in several different ways depending on your requirements. There is a generous living room and a huge kitchen dining room on the West side of the property. There is also two downstairs bathrooms and the farm style old kitchen with large fireplace to the rear of the ground floor.
The first floor, accessed either via the kitchen dining space or the beautiful main staircase, offers three very spacious bedrooms and a family bathroom. There are two large spaces that could be converted into two or more bedrooms or other habitable space. There is double glazing throughout the property with large windows providing light and bright bedrooms and living spaces. The attic provides further room for expansion with 4 possible additional bedrooms.
The outbuildings of the property are diverse and could be developed in any number of ways. There are three garages and a large open hanger. The basement of the property has an atelier, and the old wine store, complete with concrete vats for holding thousands of litres of wine, adds to the history of this fascinating property.
The land surrounding the property is fenced, and a separate fenced area in front of the West wing of the chateau allows independent outside space for guests or if you wish to create holiday rental accommodation.
This property is waiting for a dedicated owner to fulfill its true potential; with sympathetic renovations this property could become a magnificent family home or unique business project.
The village is only a short drive from the large villages of Montréal and Belvèze-du-Razès which have shops, bakeries, cafés, restaurants and doctors. Bram and access to the motorway is 14km away. Carcassonne with its airport, stunning Cité and cultural attractions is 20 minutes away, Limoux the birthplace of sparkling wine, is 15 mins drive and you can be at the Mediterranean coast or the heart of the Pyrenees in just over an hour. The area around the property is full of vineyards, in the Malepère appellation, and rolling hills with countless tracks and little roads to explore on foot or by bike. This majestic chateau really does need to be seen to be believed, come and discover it for yourself, book a visit now.
