Exceptional castle near Carcassonne

This truly exceptional castle is located just 25 minutes from Carcassonne city centre set in beautiful rolling countryside. Access from Carcassonne is one of the most picturesque in the region with multiple avenues of giant plane trees, pretty villages and stunning views of the Pyrenees mountains as the road descends to the castle. The castle is set in a 4 hectare park on the edge of a small village facing the old village church which offers stunning views. Hosting weddings in this property would be perfect as the castle has a private entrance, from the park directly to the church, and guests can simply walk from the church directly into the castle grounds facing the orangery which already has a bar area with toilets. The interior of the castle manages to combine warmth and grandeur by offering welcoming spaces on a human scale rarely found in properties of this size. The living and dining areas on the ground floor are perfectly proportioned for entertaining and family living. The spaces connect perfectly, making it easy to gather large. Rarely seen carved plasterboard adorns the hand-painted doors and ceilings, and all main rooms feature marble fireplaces offering a rarefied glimpse into this property's rich history. The large family kitchen provides a comfortable space for the whole family with ancillary rooms and a pantry and direct access to the back patio, pool and park beyond. The chateau has 6 very large suites, a medium-sized suite and a self-contained 3-bedroom apartment in its own annex with a separate entrance on the ground floor, perfect for staff or visitors. As there are several living areas on the ground floor and first floor, it is possible to create additional bedrooms if required. The expansive park offers a large green area planted with many varieties of established plants and trees, including giant oaks and cypresses. At the end of the park, a public towpath circles a lake teeming with birds. This exceptional property could be the perfect private family home or used as a place for accommodation or events.
