St Martory, dept 31
A beautiful chateau, with fairytale towers, steeply sloping roofs, and wonderful views of the river Garonne and the Pyrénées.
Part of local history and featuring in books and on TV this chateau has a fascinating history. Mouthwateringly attractive the building sits in its wooded surroundings with a curious mixture of grandeur and welcome.
The sweeping drive, which takes you past pretty gardens and a fountain, starts the magic which continues inside the house. The entrance hall with its original paneled walls and elaborate parquet floor immediately brings you under the spell of the chateau. The property has been wonderfully and sympathetically restored to enhance its original features but modern, practical comforts, such as central heating have been unobtrusively added.
The main salon boasts high moulded, gilded ceilings and a fabulous green marble fireplace. With a turret room and French windows onto the terrace the salon combines an air of grandeur and homely comfort. A long corridor links the principal rooms together and takes you through to a thoroughly modern kitchen with a fantastic old stone fireplace and handcrafted units and fittings. The library with it's beautiful parquet floor, wooden carved doors and walls, incorporating original painted panels, heraldic devices and masses of shelving is an amazing room.
On the first floor there are two huge bedrooms and two bedroom suites both with bathrooms and one with a separate dressing room and picture perfect tower room.
On the second floor there are numerous rooms, which would originally have been for the servants. These include a dining room, kitchen, bathroom and many bedrooms. A former chapel completes the top floor.
The gardens and terraces around the chateau have been lovingly maintained and stretch to about 1.7 hectares and include two more houses, one at either end of the original stable block. The stables and barns contain many original features such as grilled loose boxes and cobbled floors.
Apart from looking magnificent, this chateau combines all the features you would expect from a lovingly restored property with up to date conveniences. The chance to own a piece of strikingly beautiful French history does not often come at this realistic price and with easy access to Toulouse airport it would make a fabulous and unrivalled home, or an excellent opportunity to create an exclusive luxury hotel. |
