Tucked away off a quiet country lane, this superb courtyard property has been sympathetically restored to create a comfortable and highly adaptable home. Equally suited as a substantial family residence or as a home for a couple who regularly entertain guests, the thoughtful layout allows parts of the property to be closed off when not required, making it both practical and economical to run.
The property combines original character with modern comforts and recent improvements, including a new conforming septic tank, a new solar heating system supplying domestic hot water, the master suite, swimming pool and radiators, air conditioning in selected rooms, and a traditional Rayburn cooker in the kitchen.
The heart of the home is the spacious country kitchen and dining room, opening onto a terrace with magnificent views across the rolling Gascon countryside. Beyond lies a large dual-aspect sitting room with French doors opening both onto the courtyard and towards the gardens and surrounding land. A second reception room, currently used as a gym, offers excellent flexibility as a ground-floor bedroom, snug, studio or even a future second kitchen should independent accommodation be desired.
The original farmhouse provides three ground-floor bedrooms and a bathroom, while upstairs a spectacular 45m² family sitting room overlooks the courtyard via French doors and a Juliet balcony. Additional bedrooms and a bathroom complete this wing.
The impressive master suite occupies its own private area and features a dressing room, en-suite bathroom and balconies on both the north and south sides, enjoying views over the courtyard, gardens and surrounding countryside.
Outside, the property is surrounded by more than 4 hectares of gently undulating land, with far-reaching views towards the Pyrenees. The beautifully positioned 10m x 4m swimming pool benefits from a roller safety cover, solar heating and a summer kitchen, creating an ideal setting for outdoor entertaining.
Two substantial barns provide excellent additional space. One serves as a workshop with a games/family room above, while the second includes a 102m² three-bay open barn, offering covered parking for at least three vehicles together with extensive storage.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully presented country home offering space, flexibility, privacy and modern energy-efficient systems in an idyllic rural setting.
