19th-C:: Château on 9 Ha with Pyrenees View

Just 45 minutes from Toulouse and its international airport, the estate spans 9 hectares of magnificent grounds, including meadows, centuries-old trees, and meticulously maintained woodlands. The property also boasts two tennis courts, a large swimming pool, a volleyball court, woodland play areas, a guest house and pool house, as well as a storage outbuilding of over 100 m².

Originally built in the 1800s using the iconic pink brick of Toulouse, the estate served as a family residence until 1990, when it was converted into a boarding school. While updates have been made to meet the needs of modern living, the château retains all its period charm, with its original furnishings, artwork, and remarkable grounds.

The property is classified as a Public Access Building (ERP), meaning that its use for events such as retreats, weddings, seminars, etc., requires only minor administrative adjustments (accessibility for people with reduced mobility, electrical compliance, fire safety, etc., are already in place).

The estate can be, and currently is, offered fully furnished, with all professional kitchen and laundry equipment.
Built in 1820 by Jules de Rességuier, Château Sauveterre embodies the elegance of 19th-century Occitanie. A local aristocrat, former cavalry officer, and later member of the Council of State in Paris, Jules de Rességuier also distinguished himself as a poet of the Romantic movement. A member of the Académie des Jeux Floraux in Toulouse, he corresponded with leading literary figures of his time, including Victor Hugo, Lamartine, and Alfred de Vigny, giving the château a rare cultural and intellectual dimension.

Location.

Located in the heart of the Gers region, in a hilly landscape typical of Gascony, the Sauveterre area offers an authentic, peaceful way of life deeply rooted in nature. Here, time seems to slow down, in rhythm with the seasons, farmers' markets, and local traditions. The surrounding villages charm with their understated elegance, ancient stone buildings, fortified towns, and the warm atmosphere characteristic of Southwest France, where conviviality and quality of life are taken for granted.

One of Sauveterre's greatest assets lies in its balance between rural tranquility and accessibility. Toulouse is about 45 minutes away, providing easy access to its international airport, cultural facilities, and vibrant economy, while offering a significantly more serene lifestyle. The Pyrenees are never far away, offering opportunities for regular mountain getaways, whether for hiking, skiing, or simply admiring the scenery. The Atlantic and the Mediterranean remain easily accessible for long weekends, further enhancing the region's appeal.
Nestled between rolling hills, cultivated fields, forests, and sweeping panoramas, the Sauveterre area perfectly embodies the spirit of the Gers: a preserved, luminous, and peaceful territory. It's an ideal location for those seeking space, tranquility, and authenticity, without sacrificing proximity to major roads and the urban centers of Southwest France.
