19th-C Century Château on 9 ha with Pyrenees View

Property Description

At only 45 minutes from Toulouse and its international airport, the estate spans 9 hectares of magnificent spaces including meadows, century-old trees and well-maintained wooded areas. The property also features 2 tennis courts, a large swimming pool, a volleyball court, forest playgrounds, an guest house and a pool house, as well as a storage annex of over 100 m2

Originally built in the early 1800s in Toulouse's emblematic pink brick, the domain served as a family residence until 1990, when it was converted into a boarding school. While updates have been made to meet modern living needs, the château retains all its period charm, with its original furnishings, artworks and its remarkable park.

The property benefits from an ERP (Establishment Receiving the Public) designation, meaning its use for hosting events, retreats, weddings, seminars, etc., only requires minor administrative adjustments (accessible access, electrical compliance, fire safety, etc., already in place).

The estate can, and is currently offered, fully furnished, with all professional kitchen and laundry equipment.

Built in 1820 by Jules de Rességuier, Château Sauveterre fully embodies 19th-century elegance in Occitania. A local aristocrat, former cavalry officer and then member of the Conseil d’État in Paris, Jules de Rességuier also distinguished himself as a poet of the Romantic movement. A member of the Académie des Jeux Floraux of Toulouse, he corresponded with major literary figures of his time, including Victor Hugo, Lamartine and Alfred de Vigny, lending the château a rare cultural and intellectual dimension.

Location.

Situated in the heart of the Gers, in a typical Gascon hilly setting, the Sauveterre region offers an authentic, peaceful lifestyle deeply rooted in nature. Time seems to slow here with the seasons, producers' markets and local traditions. Nearby villages charm with their discreet beauty, old stones, bastides and the warm atmosphere of the Southwest, where sociability and quality of life are obvious.

One of Sauveterre’s great assets is its balance between rural tranquility and accessibility. Toulouse is reachable in about 45 minutes, allowing easy access to its international airport, cultural infrastructure and economic dynamism, while enjoying a daily, calmer living environment. The Pyrenees are never far away, offering regular mountain getaways for hiking, skiing, or simply admiring the landscapes. The Atlantic and Mediterranean coasts remain accessible for long weekends, further enhancing the region’s appeal.

Between gentle hills, cultivated fields, forests, and wide-open panoramas, the Sauveterre area perfectly embodies the spirit of the Gers—a preserved, bright, and soothing land. An ideal place for those seeking space, calm and authenticity, without renouncing proximity to major roads and urban centers of the Southwest.
