This 15th-Century Château in Occitanie Just Hit the Market—and It's Had Only Two Owners

Imagine owning a piece of history—a château that's stood for over 600 years, with only two owners before you. That's the rare opportunity presented by the Château in Occitanie, France, now on the market with a decade-long renovation already completed. ### A Rare Lineage of Ownership The family who built the château in the 1400s held it until 2012. That's when Barry Sloane of The Agency purchased the property and began a new chapter. A ten-year restoration followed—a sustained investment that bridges 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. ### Space and History at Every Turn The approximately 12,000-square-foot château spans four levels, centered on a dramatic three-story hall and grand staircase. Original doors, windows, hardware, and period fittings remain remarkably intact—details that whisper stories of centuries past. 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. ### A Landscape Steeped in Beauty Seventeen acres of parkland surround the buildings, encompassing rolling lawns, private woods, sculpture gardens, century-old trees, and a market garden. A historic noria/nymphée water structure, a Palladian-style pool, and a two-story pool house add to the allure. 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." ### Your Chance to Carry the Story Forward For those captivated by historic French properties, this château offers a rare blend of provenance and thoughtful renovation. It's not just a home—it's a chance to become part of a narrative that spans centuries.
