Description
Near Marciac, a beautiful 19th-century château, perfectly suited for events, seminars, schools, communities, co-housing, a tranquil retreat in a commanding position with panoramic views of the Pyrenees. The imposing 16th-19th century building, approximately 2,000 m², comprises several reception rooms (capacity 200 people) and eighteen bedrooms, currently accommodating up to 80 people. The circular courtyard of the Counts of Armagnac hosts weddings, other celebrations, and shows. Two large, fully equipped kitchens provide professional facilities, central heating, and fiber optic internet access. A separate 160 m² gîte (4 bedrooms) offers privacy away from the main event space and serves as accommodation for the owners. Several architectural features have been preserved: overmantel fireplaces, sandstone walls, Versailles or herringbone parquet flooring, a monumental wooden staircase, wood paneling, triple Genoese-style eaves, and a sculpted keystone. The roofs are in perfect condition, the timber frame is a remarkable work of art. The entire property is well-maintained. Extensive renovations have allowed the site to be repurposed for professional use. The 8-hectare historic park boasts the Pyrenees as its horizon. Parking is easy (large car park). The recently built, secure, and tiled swimming pool offers a superb view of the mountains. Napoleon III and Empress Eugénie stayed here discreetly with their journalist friend; the site bears witness to history, and you can write your own!
