Near Montesquieu-Volvestre Departement of Haute-Garonne Midi-Pyrenees Montesquieu-Volvestre – 7 miles Foix – 31 miles Toulouse – 36 miles Toulouse Airport (Blagnac) – 39 miles Carcassonne Airport – 90 miles Pau Airport – 140 miles The Mediterranean Coast near Narbonne – 135 miles The Atlantic Coast at Biarritz – 210 miles The Pyrenees at Ax-les-Thermes – 57 miles The Pyrenees at Bagnères-de-Luchon- 109 miles Located on a ridged hilltop with views south to the snow-capped Pyrenees, this fine property has been in the ownership and care of a British family since the year 2000. Now a downsizing plan is afoot which causes this amazing property to be available for purchase. Time and money has been spent to re-fit the Chateau and the Farmhouse – taste and quality have been the keynotes. Upon acquisition the Chateau was the subject of a high quality programme supervised by a French Architect: the roof was stripped and the tiles re-laid; a large amount of re-fitting of quality woodwork took place on the ground and first floors, all woodwork and internal doors in light oak; and many re-fittings were carried out to bathrooms and shower rooms. Now there is still unexploited potential particularly on the second floor which has not so far been renovated. The lovely 5 bedroomed farmhouse was also re-fitted and provides a charming and spacious “second home” on the site. The two dwellings are detached from each other, but stand nearby: ideal for two or more families or friends to live together, but separately. Alternatively this will be a fine property for purchasers who wish to create a hospitality business – hotel, up-market B & B, residential courses. There is an equestrian flavour to the property since there are stables and an outdoor riding arena. The outriding location is superb since the countryside is very sparsely populated, yet there is easy access to the main road to Toulouse to the north and to the Pyrenees in the south, and to the main roads leading to the Mediterranean and Atlantic coasts. This is definitely a “get away from it all” location of the finest quality and with a wonderful medium sized town of great character, Montesquieu-Volvestre within 7 miles easy drive. In this region driving is a pleasure since the roads are unfrequented and the hills and valleys are a delight. The key element of communications is the easy driving distance to Toulouse Airport (39 miles). For low cost flights Carcassonne Airport is only 90 miles drive. With the Mediterranean coast near Narbonne being 135 miles and the Atlantic coast at Biarritz about 200 miles one can choose one’s own coastal destination. For summer walking and winter sports the nearest resort is Ax-les-Thermes - only 57 miles.
