Situated in the heart of a charming village between Uzès and Nîmes, with easy access to the region's main attractions, stands this majestic château, a witness to history since its creation in the 13th century. The ancient moat, battlements and watchtowers evoke its past as a defensive edifice, while in the 17th century it was enlarged to welcome visits from illustrious personalities such as Louis XIII and Richelieu, in preparation for the Peace of Alais.

This imposing château, an emblematic part of the region's historic heritage, was saved from ruin nearly 60 years ago by an aesthete who loved old stones and undertook a colossal restoration project to bring it back to life. This stately home takes the form of a majestic main building flanked by 2 keeps to the north and south. Designed in the 11th and 12th centuries as a fortress, the castle was altered several times between the 14th and 17th centuries, and the chapel dates from the 16th century. Two pretty old stone houses and an independent flat have been converted into gîtes, and a swimming pool with summer kitchen and shower room complete this remarkable and authentic architectural ensemble built on more than 17,000 sqm of land.

Set in parkland shaded by a row of hundred-year-old lime trees, the château overlooks the four terraces that slope gently down to the château outbuildings. Entirely enclosed by walls, the grounds surround the château, the terraces and a vast swimming pool (25m x 10m). The chateau of approx. 1,200 m² offers undeniable charm and still boasts its original features (terracotta floor tiles, moulded ceilings, period woodwork, etc.) as well as high ceilings on all 3 levels. Behind the chateau, the outbuildings include two sheepfolds (5 bedrooms) representing an additional surface area of around 200m2. A beautiful bastide of 750 m² with its outbuildings stands approx. 300 m from the château. The bastide has 13 bedrooms, renovated in recent years, with 9 bathrooms.

The vines are cultivated directly by the estate and the harvest is taken to the local cooperative winery. At present, almost a hectare is planted with olive trees, providing a small production of olive oil for family and friends.

History : Château de Saint Martin de Toques. This castle is considered to be the only completely reconstructed privately owned Catharic castle still in existence. Its origins go back further than the anti-Catholic religious movement that flourished in the region from 1100 to 1300; they date back to Roman times. In Roman times Saint Martin de Toques served as a guard post for the Roman roads that wound through the countryside below. Later, the castle became the property of the Vicomtesse de Narbonne. When the previous owner acquired the castle in 1990, it was in ruins. Something - the beauty of the location with a 360-degree view over the Corbières vineyards, the rugged strength of the remaining massive walls, the romance of the drawbridge - intrigued him so much that he embarked on a multi-year, multi-million- euro restoration. He didn't just rebuild, but restored every detail as it might have been in 978 AD, when the powerful de Narbonne family inhabited the site. Since there were not enough original stones for the entire project, additional material was excavated from a neighboring hill. Antique dealers from around the world were contacted to procure all the elements: the massive interlocking wooden doors, the huge carved stone fireplaces, the narrow spiral staircases, the gargoyles filling the plunge pool in the center of the courtyard with water. During the restoration, the previous owner added modern amenities that were carefully hidden so as not to destroy the historic atmosphere. The floors are made of solid stone slabs, others of oak blocks, 25 cubes in square oak frames that rattle quietly against each other as you walk on them. Most of the rooms have electric underfloor heating, making the castle pleasant to live in even in winter. Light switches are hidden in tiny niches carved into the rock walls. Indirect mood lighting provides light under the wooden beams. 7 of the 8 bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms, all individually appointed to match the charm of each bedroom. The bathroom fixtures and fittings are all antique and unique. Materials such as sandstone, marble, wood and copper are mainly used. This makes it possible for residents to feel the atmosphere of a bygone era without sacrificing the comforts of today. Two modern showers and 4 modern toilets have been carefully integrated. After 25 years of reconstruction and renovation, the property was sold in 2019 to the current owner, who continued the work with the aim of creating and renting unique apartments on the farm and raising the castle to a new level of quality of life.
