Castle Marciac (32)
A former manor house with a 14th-15th century castle, hidden at the end of a private lane, with no neighbors, set on +3hectares of land surrounded by nature, offering 500m² of living space, outbuildings, and swimming pool – a true gem for history buffs. Ideally located for a family, couple, or hospitality project, discover the Gers region and walk in the footsteps of the lords of Pardailhan, Antras, Montesquiou, La Valette, Blaise de Montluc... and write your own story! The solid, human-scale main house features an 80m² living room, kitchen, seven bedrooms (two on the ground floor), sitting rooms, five bathrooms/shower rooms, laundry rooms, and anterooms in the former pepperpot huts. The original features are preserved and highlighted: hollowed-out half-timbering, terracotta tiles, French-style ceilings, stone and marble fireplaces, overmantel mirrors, watchtowers, latrines, Genoese-style eaves, interior wooden shutters, vegetable garden, sandstone, former moat... The imposing round tower underscores the site's original medieval past and conceals the stone spiral staircase that connects the floors. The French Revolution destroyed the coat of arms on the arch of the entrance door. The pursuit of authenticity does not preclude modern comforts: fiber optic sanitation, satellite internet, Lacanche range cooker... The approximately 3.5-hectare grounds are partially wooded, contributing to this sense of seclusion; the surrounding nature provides space, isolation, and complete privacy. The swimming pool is heated and secure, and its pool house is located in a former outbuilding. This historic site is discreet; finding it is a challenge. Living in Gascony means living in the Gers, where cultures and traditions naturally intertwine. A history marked by warfare, a vibrant present: Le Figaro has just featured the 'Jazz in Marciac' festival... the countryside coming to the rescue of culture... Shops, doctors, cinema, and community organizations are all just a stone's throw away. Unpack your bags! Tarbes-Lourdes airport and TGV station 40 minutes away, Toulouse 1 hour 30 minutes away.

Castle Pau (64)
The Age of Enlightenment awaits you: refinement, symmetry, and elegance define this 18th-century château, set on a 1-hectare enclosed plot, featuring a formal French garden, chapel, orangery and outbuildings, and a moat. It will delight history enthusiasts, where intellectual stimulation and a connection to nature take precedence over tradition. Perfectly suited for family life, business, seminars, and more, the solid structure comprises thirty rooms, including five adjoining reception rooms, sitting rooms, a gallery, nine bedrooms (one with an alcove on the ground floor), and a welcoming entrance hall. The guest apartment, an 18th-century innovation, ensures the owners' privacy. The cellars, large kitchen with a vegetable garden, and various service areas recall the 15th-century foundations of the main building, erected on a former castle mound. The pursuit of authenticity does not preclude modern comforts: central heating, recently replaced roofs, and fiber optic internet access. Defense gives way to social life, windows open onto nature and light. The architectural evolution coincides with a new social order. The ornamentation emphasizes refinement with decor inspired by the classical or neoclassical style: Arudy stone frames, 16th-century terracotta tiles, marble fireplaces (all functional), stone or wood fireplaces, overmantel mirrors, wood paneling, Versailles parquet flooring, wide-plank flooring, pediments pierced with an oeil-de-boeuf window, a three-stone sink, staircases with Béarnaise hairpin railings, the reissued Tontisse wallpaper, a fresco, an authentic cherub decoration, and Farrow & Ball paint all contributed to this delicate restoration. The small chapel remains the property's traditional private place of worship with its 17th-century polychrome wooden altarpiece and relics. The orangery, with its three arches, built according to traditional methods and facing south, provides shelter for large trees and regulates temperature thanks to the brickwork and stone. It is currently a beautiful venue for receptions, complete with a kitchen area. The barn, farmyard, stone outbuildings, and pebble-lined walls, along with the medieval garden, evoke the property's rural character. The French-style gardens, meticulously designed, have earned the property a place in the Association for Topiary and Boxwood Art. It's easy to imagine oneself strolling in period costume through the landscaped maze with its mythological scenes, the open-air theater, or relaxing by the two ornamental fountains, testaments to the prestige of the place. These fountains were once used as mirrors, reflecting the image of the château and its owners. They are excellent swimming spots in the 21st century... A sought-after haven of peace, close to amenities, a place where different cultures naturally coexist. The refined furnishings, perfectly suited to the setting, are available for purchase. The former gatehouse at the back of the property may or may not be restored; the castle's listed status as a historical monument would allow for appropriate tax benefits. This former barony of the Lords of Coarraze hosted the King of Spain... begin your history! For information and viewings, please contact Valerie Trinel at Capifrance.
