Few properties offer the chance to become only the third owner in a history spanning centuries. The Château in Occitanie, France, presents just that, with the added benefit of a decade-long renovation.
The family who built the château in the 1400s held it until 2012, when The Agency’s own Barry Sloane purchased the property and began a new chapter. A ten-year restoration followed, a sustained investment that connects generations of ownership with the estate’s future.
For the next buyer, it’s a true pièce de résistance—a fully revived residence and the distinction of joining an unusually short line of owners.
The approximately 12,000-square-foot château spans four levels, centered on a dramatic three-story hall and grand staircase, with original doors, windows, hardware and period fittings remarkably intact.
Across the estate, approximately 20,500 square feet of residential living space includes a guardian’s residence, while historic silkworm factories and stables offer potential for future conversion, subject to applicable approvals.
Seventeen acres of parkland surround the buildings, encompassing rolling lawns, private woods, sculpture gardens, century-old trees and a market garden, along with a historic noria/nymphée water structure, a Palladian-style pool and a two-story pool house.
Set in the Occitanie region of Southern France, the estate offers an evocative setting for that next chapter.
For buyers drawn to historic French properties, its provenance and considered renovation create a compelling combination. The opportunity is both to make a home and to carry forward a story that began centuries ago.
