Ideally situated in the heart of the golden triangle within easy reach of Gaillac and Albi and 1h15 minutes to Toulouse is this magnificent period property, dating back to the 15th century. As part of an old chateau, this majestic building is currently a private residence alongside a guest house and has a total of 10 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms. The 3 levels are all accessed via a beautiful inner courtyard and an impressive stone spiral staircase. The galleried landings are of exposed timbers, with half-timbered walls, double or triple mullioned windows and lead-set stained glass windows. The building was restored by master craftsmen over a 4 year period in the 1980s. The stunning 77m² lounge/reception room has impressive beams, exposed stone walls, a monumental fireplace, stained glass mullioned windows and access to the south facing terrace with its 180 degree view of the beautiful surrounding countryside. There is also a 377m² garden just opposite the property which could be accessed from inside the house via an underground passage.

Stories start in all sorts of places. 1892 Piggott Castle’s story began. Using double thick brick exterior walls with 11 ft ceilings and 9 ft windows mirroring architecture from Rome’s seven hills, Piggott built his sanctuary. Fast forward to 1979, current owners saved, restored and treasured the castle. Now, it is available in all its historically cool glory. Once in a lifetime opportunity to own. The only registered castle in Portland. Brace yourself for a world filled with phenomenal views and inspirational living.
I never imagined I would find a castle for sale in Portland, Oregon but I had a good chuckle reading that it’s the only one. The rooms seem a little small and awkward shaped and the carpeting is really unfortunate but other than those details this is one fabulous home!!! Listing via James Edition.

This castle is, in my humble opinion, an absolute dream. Its 7 bedrooms, studio apartment, kitchen with fireplace and scullery, numerous bathrooms, glass-enclosed veranda, large barn on 2 hectares are all in really good condition leaving the new owner the time to move in, experience its beauty for a time and then decide what changes to make. Located near the towns of Nérac and Lectoure, and listed with Selection Habitat for €1,166,000.
