MH Castle, Outbuildings, Woods, Pond

**Exclusive Listing.** Set in the Gers, often referred to as the “French Tuscany” for its rolling green hills, this 19th-century château, listed as a Historic Monument, features a chapel, outbuildings, woodland and a pond.

Originally built in the 18th century, the château was enlarged and transformed over the years, taking on its present form around the mid-19th century. Its architecture draws inspiration from the Renaissance, with large windows punctuating its façades, while its imposing round towers and bartizans lend it a medieval character. The neo-Gothic chapel was built in the mid-19th century.

The château offers over 2,000 sqm of total floor space. The entrance opens into a spacious central hall, which provides access to the various rooms on this level. The floor is laid with traditional terracotta tiles, and the walls are panelled.

To the left, a magnificent 90 sqm reception room features a monumental fireplace, oak parquet flooring and coffered ceilings. Beyond it, a second grand reception room, also measuring 90 sqm, has parquet flooring and traditional French-style ceilings with exposed beams. This room boasts particularly refined decorative features, including carved columns, wood panelling and tapestries dating back to the château’s original founders. A beautiful stone staircase leads from this room into the château grounds, effectively providing a second entrance to the property. Numerous large windows ensure an abundance of natural light, while ceiling heights exceeding 5 metres further enhance the impressive sense of space. A 45 sqm, fully panelled drawing room completes the reception areas.

To the right, the vestibule leads to a large period kitchen, which retains original features dating from the 18th century, including stone flagstone flooring, a monumental fireplace and partially exposed stone walls.

In the western wing, the owners have created a 102 sqm, three-room apartment comprising two bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen and a shower room. Another bedroom in the same wing has recently been renovated. On the garden level, two further apartments of 100 sqm and 120 sqm remain to be refurbished. A wine cellar, workshop and additional utility rooms are also located on this level.

Two staircases lead to the upper floors, serving the château’s two wings: the north-south wing and the east-west wing. The second floor is primarily dedicated to bedrooms, some of which have been renovated. A splendid library, filled with antique books, occupies three rooms totalling 150 sqm.

Although several renovation projects have already been undertaken, substantial works are still required to restore this historic residence to its former splendour. An ambitious restoration project will notably need to include roof repairs and refurbishment, together with the renovation of several interior spaces and further improvements. This undertaking offers an opportunity to fully enhance the generous proportions, remarkable architectural features and unique character of this exceptional property.

The outbuildings, with their round towers, form a remarkably harmonious architectural ensemble. They include a former orangery, an old farmhouse, a large agricultural barn, stables and former wine cellars.

Set within grounds extending over 7 hectares, the park comprises several landscaped areas, mature trees of various species, woodland and a pond.

Nestled within its leafy grounds, in complete tranquillity and away from busy roads, this substantial château offers outstanding potential for a large-scale events venue or hospitality project.

Approximately 50 minutes from Tarbes and its international airport, 35 minutes from Auch, and 1 hour 30 minutes from Toulouse and its international airport.
