EXCLUSIVE P&P Just a few minutes from Saint-Lizier, a UNESCO World Heritage Site renowned for its bishops' palace and cathedral, and one of the most beautiful villages in France, Château Saint-Michel is a true 19th-century gem. An exceptional estate with 31 hectares of parkland, fields, and woods, it offers a secluded retreat just five minutes from the historic village of Saint-Lizier and an hour from the vibrant city of Toulouse. Fully restored to the highest standards, the château perfectly combines the charm of a traditional residence with modern comforts. Once you pass through the heavy, reassuring entrance door, you will be welcomed into a vast entrance hall with a French ceiling, mosaic floor, and neo-Gothic details. All period features have been preserved and restored: Hungarian-point parquet flooring, coffered ceilings, carved woodwork, stained glass windows, period fireplaces, and a monumental staircase. The château offers 14 comfortable bedrooms, each with a private bathroom. A separate New York-style apartment is located on the top floor of the château. The vaulted cellars house a gym, a private cinema and a relaxation area. Next to the castle grounds is a guest house of approximately 250m2 comprising a comfortable living room, a spacious kitchen and two bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms. On the ground floor, a fully equipped studio and a garage for three cars complete this space. The park, a true work of art in vegetation, has been carefully tended by a passionate arborist, with rare tree species that give the place a unique and peaceful atmosphere. The beautifully maintained gardens invite contemplation and rejuvenation. Just 2.5 km away, the village of Saint-Lizier, one of the Most Beautiful Villages in France, welcomes you with its weekly market and renowned microbrewery. Nearby, the Ariège Pyrenees Regional Nature Park offers the perfect setting for a variety of outdoor activities, including hiking, cycling, kayaking, and skiing in winter at the Guzet resort, just 45 minutes away. Not far away, Lake Bethmale, with its emerald waters and enchanting landscapes, is a favorite destination for nature lovers. Further south, the town of Foix, with its medieval castle and traditional market, completes this immersion in a region rich in history and natural beauty.
