Overview

Step through the wrought-iron gates of this enchanted domain, where the golden light of the Languedoc spills over dry-stone walls and the scent of wild rosemary drifts between ancient pines. Here, in the untamed heart of the Corbières—just where the hills begin to murmur secrets to the Mediterranean—stands a 10th-century castle, its newly crowned roof and restored joinery gleaming like a sovereign reawakened from a centuries-long slumber.

This is no mere estate; it is a living legend, a 3-hectare kingdom where time moves differently. The park, fully enclosed as if guarding its own private Eden, unfolds in sun-dappled clearings and shadowed groves, its majestic pines standing sentinel over paths that invite both contemplation and celebration. Imagine twilight receptions in the 337 m² air-conditioned hall, where the clink of crystal and the murmur of conversation mingle with the distant song of cicadas, or intimate tastings in the 250 m² wine cellar—a sanctuary of vaulted stone and colonnades, where the earth itself seems to breathe the aroma of aged Corbières vintages.

A 10th-Century Castle’s Dream: Where Corbières Whispers to the Mediterranean

For those who dream of crafting experiences as unforgettable as the landscape, the possibilities are as boundless as the horizon. The existing 3,500 m² of meticulously restored spaces—a grand auditorium for 100 souls, seminar rooms where ideas take flight, a catering kitchen primed for gastronomic alchemy—are but the prelude. Here, the canvas stretches further: an additional 4,000 m² awaits your vision, whether a boutique hotel where every suite tells a story, a leisure park where guests lose themselves in the art of *dolce far niente*, or a senior residence where golden years are gilded by vineyard views and the gentle rhythm of Provence.

And yet, for all its grandeur, this domain remains effortlessly connected. Ten minutes from the highway, forty from the sapphire embrace of the Mediterranean, it is a world apart yet never remote—a place where the wild soul of the Corbières meets the refinement of Narbonne’s heritage. The castle’s edge brushes against a protected natural area, as if nature itself conspired to cradle this sanctuary between village charm and untamed beauty.

This is more than an investment; it is an invitation to inscribe your name into the next chapter of a millennial story. To walk these halls is to hear the echoes of banquets past and the promises of gatherings yet to come. The file awaits—sealed with the weight of history and the thrill of what you will build here. But first, a pact of discretion: for some dreams are too rare to speak of lightly.
