Dourgne, Midi-Pyrénées 81110

Just a few minutes' walk from the center of the village of Dourgne, at the foot of the Montagne Noire and on the Way of St. James (Camino de Santiago), this late 18th-century family château offers 350 sq m of living space in the heart of a 1.87-hectare enclosed and wooded park, providing absolute tranquility and complete privacy. Built of stone and brick, the property impresses with its noble architecture, generous proportions, reception rooms, and preserved period features such as parquet floors, fireplaces, and an original staircase. Several bedrooms allow for flexible layouts and offer ideal comfort for a family residence or for charming accommodation projects. Beyond the 350 sq m of living space, the property reveals exceptional potential. The attics and several unused areas could increase the total surface area to approximately 590 sq m, offering the possibility of creating new living or reception spaces to suit your needs. The property also includes a stable and a garage, complementing this already unique setting. The grounds, planted with mature species such as cedars, oaks, and pines, create a haven of serenity and allow for full enjoyment of the natural surroundings. The property benefits from a privileged location, close to remarkable heritage sites, the Abbey of Sainte Scholastique and the Abbey of Saint-Benoît d'En Calcat, as well as Lake Saint-Ferréol and the Sidobre Massif. Renovation work is required, particularly for the electrical system, insulation, heating, and sanitation, but other interventions will likely be necessary, allowing for a large-scale, bespoke project. This rare property is ideal for a buyer wishing to develop a characterful residence, a guesthouse, a cultural project, or a long-term heritage investment. This is a place steeped in history and potential, ready to be reinvented in a peaceful and privileged setting.
