Nicely situated, well-renovated château with many original features well suited as a main residence of grand standing with the possibility to rent it as a high quality B&B and-or apartments in the outbuildings. Possibility to have horses.  Nearby the lively town of Castres with all amenities. A little over one hour from Toulouse and its international airport. Not too far from interesting wine regions and the Mediterranean sea.
