AUDE - near Mirepoix A magnificent castle with medieval origins, tastefully and perfectly renovated, located halfway between two popular tourist destinations, Toulouse and Carcassonne, set in 4 hectares of a beautiful park, a veritable haven of greenery with century-old trees. Built by Guillaume de Plaigne, a Cathar lord in the 13th century, it remained in his family until 1688, when it was bought by the Grand Prior of the Order of Malta, who made it the largest commandery of the Order of Saint John in Languedoc until the Revolution. Today, it has been renovated by two generations of a family passionate about this historic residence, who have enriched it with beautiful architectural features and carried out high-quality renovations, making it the perfect venue for exceptional receptions. It sleeps 32, with 16 bedrooms and their bathrooms, a magnificent knights' hall for large festive meals, a pretty chapel in a tower, a separate cottage for 8 people, a beautiful ancient pond designed as a swimming pool, and all the technical infrastructure necessary for organizing unforgettable events. The estate also includes 14 hectares of organic farmland planted with alfalfa and flower-rich fallow land, a natural tourist area, in a Natura 2000 valley. Annexes and outbuildings complete the property, including a catering area, pool room, garage, cellars, wine cellar, attics, and more. A motorway access allows you to reach Toulouse or Carcassonne in less than an hour. All the amenities in Mirepoix are a 15-minute drive away. Ideal for a history enthusiast looking to keep up the high-quality hospitality business already in place, but also for a family seeking the château life of yesteryear, with all the modern comforts of today.
