luxury houses with pool for sale Gers, France (page 2)

Overview A beautiful chartreuse-style stone house with guest house, set in delightful private gardens with lovely countryside views close to one of the Gers’ most historically interesting villages. Renovated to a high standard and set over two floors, this property is ideal for hosting with its seven bedrooms and children’s dormitory. Wandering around we can’t help but imagine large family gatherings or delightful soirées in the generous entertaining spaces. Outside, a wonderful terrace overlooks a large swimming pool, and a second, covered terrace is the perfect lounging area complete with hanging day bed. As well as the large living and dining rooms, the cinema room, playroom and summer kitchen add to the entertaining possibilities, ensuring total relaxation and leisure. We approach the property through grand ornate iron gates and along a winding gravel drive surrounded by gardens on all sides, thoughtfully planted with flowers, shrubs and trees. Ample parking space is available at the end of the drive. The main house We enter through double-glazed, hand painted wooden doors into a large entrance room with chequerboard tiled floor and an elegant working fireplace. Head straight through glazed double doors into a hallway from which three double ensuite bedrooms can be found. All are beautifully appointed with modern shower rooms and WCs, some with double-glazed doors that open directly onto the impeccably maintained gardens. Further along the hallway is a handy storage room with built-in cupboards, and another part-glazed door leading out on the terrace. The ground floor living areas Back in the central hallway, we enter a room currently used as a study and fitted out with handmade bookshelves. We are then drawn to a large dining room which flows seamlessly to the kitchen and spacious living room. The suspended view from these rooms is mesmerising and the owners have ensured it is fully captured from all angles by adding full width windows and central double-glazed doors along the entire wall. Light floods the room and, in cooler months, the grand stone fireplace is the perfect place to cosy up in front of a roaring fire with a good book. With its terracotta floor, laid throughout the entire ground floor, exposed beams and impressive stone fireplace this room is full of character and an exceptionally serene place to relax. At the other end of the hallway are some practical utility spaces including a WC, laundry room and more cupboards. The kitchen The modern kitchen is accessed via the dining room as well as from the outside covered terraced. It has been decorated in a cheerful orange colour scheme with induction hob, fitted oven and plenty of fitted base and wall cupboards. The first floor We climb the original oak stairs beneath a stunning glass chandelier and arrive at a landing from which the master suite can be accessed. The bedroom benefits from a large adjoining shower room with a separate WC, a vast walk-in dressing room fitted with open wardrobes and hanging rails. Also on this floor is a cinema room and and a children’s bedroom / playroom with eight sweet cabin beds prettily dressed with curtains through which we can imagine tiny giggling faces peeping. A door from the cinema room opens into a warm and immaculate attic area which doubles as a laundry drying space but could be developed into an additional room. The indoor-outdoor leisure spaces Alongside the kitchen is an attractive and inviting covered terrace area with tiled floor and original beams. Decorated in Moroccan style, with comfortable hanging beds, softly draping fabric and sheer floor length curtains which float pleasantly in the wind, it is the perfect place to relax or host an aperitif on a hot summer’s evening. Further along the terrace, a games room offers additional entertainment thanks to its pool and football tables, and next to it a summer kitchen links back to the inside of the main house. The guest house Accessed from both the garden terrace and the main gravel driveway is an adjoining two-bedroom cottage offering additional accommodation for friends and family, which could also be used as a self-contained guest house. It is modern in style and beautifully appointed, yet retains original features including wooden beams and stone walls. We enter through glazed doors into the bright living room with its smart, modern floor tiles. Ahead is a modern staircase and the kitchen, with wide double-glazed doors that lead out onto one of the two covered terraces, with lovely views across the garden and the woodland beyond. The kitchen is smart with white cupboards and marble effect worktops and a built-in fridge freezer, induction hob, cooker and cooker hood. Alongside is a WC and sink and a laundry room. Upstairs we find two large bedrooms, each en suite with large shower cubicles and modern sink units. Both rooms are stylishly decorated yet retain elements of period charm thanks to the high-eaved ceilings, wooden beams and floors. One bedroom looks out across the rear garden and the other over the front garden, both with beautifully planted flower beds alongside lush lawns. The guest house benefits from its own covered terraces, beautifully styled and with attractive privacy screens, contemporary lighting, built in seating and pretty planting. The outdoor space and gardens At the far end of the main house is a large workshop and a garage, the latter benefitting from a new electric door. The spaces could be connected but for now each offers ample storage space for garden equipment and vehicles. The setting for this property is simply delightful and the current owners have taken great pride in ensuring the surrounding gardens and terraces are thoughtfully planned and planted with a mix of flowers, shrubs and trees. The terraced areas to the rear are immaculate with pergolas, barbecue areas, outdoor lighting, stone walls and planting alongside which soften the space and create a feeling of privacy whilst making the most of the view. We head from the main terrace down stone steps to the private pool area. The pool is 20 m long and 3m wide so offers keen swimmers the chance to enjoy endless laps whilst enjoying the view. To the side of the house is a copse of mature trees providing much needed shade in the hot summer months. The owner has levelled the land beneath to make a neat outdoor space that stretches out towards neighbouring farmer’s fields. What we love here at Bliss We love the blend of modern and original charm in this property. It is newly renovated and well looked after which makes it both practical and a delight to spend time in. The ground floor flows seamlessly from room to room, and we are impressed with the current owners’ focus on maximising light wherever possible thanks to the addition of new, high-quality wooden windows and glazed doors. They also cleverly connect the front of the house to the rear gardens and view, adding a sense of tranquillity and peace. What is more, the owners’ love of landscaping and gardening has meant they have created a simply beautiful environment for outdoor living, swimming and entertaining. Who would this property suit? A large and growing family or someone who wants to run a high end, boutique-style chambre d’hôtes with the option of a guest house for longer stays. The guest house also provides the flexibility of the new owner living on site while running the hotel. The excellent location on the fringes of a charming village and in an area famed for its vineyards should prove advantageous for a tourist activity whilst also being an idyllic, rural base for setting up a permanent or second home.

This contemporary property was built in 2018 and faces the south, with far-reaching and lovely uninterrupted views over the surrounding countryside and the mountains beyond. The property is crisp, clean, and full of light, with over 1100m2 of land. The main reception room overlooks the gardens and a beautiful, recently fitted salt pool which allows for real exercise, measuring 3m x 10m in length. The base and sides of the pool are tiled. Being of a recent design the property has an excellent energy rating and is of ecological design. It is comfortable, well-insulated and built to the highest standards. The property is heated by a heat-pump with additional air-conditioning on the first floor for the master bedroom. The master bedroom is a fabulous room, spacious and filled with light with a panoramic view over the Gascon countryside.

The property There is little to be seen from the outside of the property other than its high stone walls and the solid wooden doors of its entrance, which makes our first sighting of the garden when its doors are pulled back quite special, as the dramatic view on the other side of the garden gate is quite unexpected. Our eyes are drawn along a white stone path to a stone wall at the far end of the garden, from which there is a vertiginous view over the valley to the south. In this respect, the garden has its own “ramparts”, and it is here on a sunny day we sit up on high to lunch and admire the chequered green and golden fields below, spread out in their rich tapestry. The garden is completely private and tranquil, and is surely one of the most beautiful spots for al fresco dining in Gascony. The house sits to one side of the pathway, the old barn to the other. The garden is full of ancient scented roses, with beautiful colours of baby pink contrasting perfectly with the pale leaves of the olive tree. There are flower beds bursting into life with the summer sunshine and with the dramatic backdrop of the barn. The pool is partially enclosed in a stone building, and is thus beautifully sheltered. First let’s take a look at the house. Built on two levels, each level is a separate, independent unit, allowing the property to be occupied as one single house or two completely independent appartments within the same house. One can of course choose to link the two floors via a staircase. On the upper garden level, there is a large and spacious reception-room, with an open-plan kitchen in one corner. This beautiful room has windows on three sides, with views over the valley and the garden. The view from each window is unspoilt and the recently fitted windows provide the perfect framework. Two original doors lead to a large double bedroom with an ensuite shower-room and WC. The bedroom overlooks the valley, and has an ornamental fireplace. A newly fitted wooden staircase leads to a first floor mezzanine above, which is currently used as a study. Returning to the garden once more, we descend a flight of stone steps to an enclosed courtyard below. This area holds the warm sunlight between its stone walls and is the perfect sheltered spot on a windy day, or between seasons. The lower courtyard, and the lower level of the house can also be accessed directly from the village, so that although there are two sections to this property, each has its own garden. On the ground floor we enter a beautiful kitchen with a long stone work surface and sink that runs the entire length of one wall, with views to the garden. The room has two archways, one of which opens directly onto the main reception-room, where there is a woodburning stove, the second archway opens onto an area currently as a bedroom albeit this room does not have a door. This area could also be used as an extension of the main reception-room, as a study, or second sitting-room. On the lower ground floor level, there is also a spacious shower-room. The barn This is arguably one of the most beautiful buildings we have seen at Bliss, and the barn has its own special history. During the war, members of the resistance met here, and made radio broadcasts to London from the upper section of the barn, via a radio set which was still present, and is now housed in a museum. If these old stone walls could tell a story.. we would hear their whispers long into the night. The barn is currently used for storage on both levels. We particularly love the stone steps to the upper level which run up the external wall. Although planning permission would definitely be required for a change of usage, one cannot help but imagine what an amazing project one could carry out here.

The Landscape This superb Gascon property sits in an elevated position at the end of a long track. There are no near neighbours and views for miles around across the surrounding countryside. To each side, the valley drops gently away, woods and fields dotted all around, as far as the eye can see. The Gardens The gardens were the creation of a local landscape gardener at the start of the restoration project. The line of the land was modified to encompass a tennis court in an elevated position above the swimming pool, and as well as the dozens of roses, shrubs, trees and plants that were incorporated into the scheme, huge boulders or rocks were imported and placed around the pool side. The result is spectacular. The pool is a feat of design and a work of art. Its shape is non symmetrical and the line of water meets the line of the horizon perfectly so that it is possible to “swim into the view and over the horizon.” The waters cascade at the end of the pool into a rivulet and sweep around the side and back into the pool by an ingenious system. There is continual movement of the water. Access to the pool is gentle. The pool slopes down gradually, without steps, so that for younger children it is possible to play safely at the water’s edge. The current owners are keen tennis players, almost to a professional level, and the incorporation of a professional level tennis court was vital to their project. Discreetly located behind a stone wall, and in a raised position above the swimming pool area, a screen of shrubs and trees mask the court from view. A covered terrace area with its own kitchen, and cold beer on tap, provides a vast and shaded area in which to dine, or to relax between matches. From the terrace the tennis- court is almost invisible, the view is predominantly that of the swimming pool. From here it is all to easy to imagine, on our visit to the property, how this property has been used for many years as a place of fun and recreation. Sipping beer, to the gentle and distant sound of yellow balls bouncing on the court; the splash of the water trickling over the edge in the pool; deck chairs placed in sunny spots beside the water’s edge and facing the majestic view. Also of interest in the gardens is the second terrace to the rear, which is accessed directly from the kitchen/main reception area. This covered spot is the owner’s favourite place in which to dine with guests. The property also benefits from a woodshed to the rear and a vast garage/barn area for storage. And now for the house … From the front of the property this is a typical symmetrical and Gascon maison de maitre. When the owners first came to visit it, in their own words it was “pretty much a wreck, requiring gutting and complete recreation from the inside.” Initially the house was joined onto a barn and the restoration of the property has seen the incorporation of the original house and its adjacent stone barn into one fabulous and luxury property. Each internal detail has been thought about, and every item specifically hand-picked for the property down to the last detail. The Entrance The door to the property opens onto a formal entrance hall, with two reception rooms to each side. A wooden staircase leads to two upstairs bedrooms above. At the far end, the entrance hall opens onto the rear dining-room and kitchen area. We note that there are two staircases to the upper level. The first, the wooden staircase rising from the main entrance hall. The second staircase from the bar area, which rises to the mezzanine and an upstairs gallery, which in turn has a door to the rear gardens, and pool area. This property is built on two levels, with each level having access to the lower gardens, and the rear gardens and pool area. Two Formal Reception Rooms (Library, Snug, Music Room… what you will…..) To the front of the property, and from the main door, we enter the original entrance hall, where to the left and right of the door, are the original two reception rooms; once the only habitable rooms in the property. Today, in this original section of the maison de maitre , we open the door onto two beautifully dressed rooms. Both are used as formal reception rooms/ a music room/ reading room. The décor is elegant and timeless, and contrast beautifully with the rear section of the property which has been developed in the original barn. The Kitchen At the end of the hallway, the kitchen is a fantastic example of genius; where the cupboards have been individually designed, including the sink which is a work of art in itself. Hewn from a vast piece of black granite, our current owner jokes: “The artisan who made this, told us that this was the first time he had ever engineered such a gargantuan sink, and that the granite is so heavy, it would also be the last time.” The sink is tapered from a drying area, to two vast sinks, the work top flowing in seamless fashion to each side. With a black Lacanche oven, vital when hosting the large parties of friends and tennis players who come to the house, the kitchen is a design miracle, with a vast amount of storage carefully dissimulated behind hand crafted wooden doors. The Dining Room The kitchen opens onto the main reception/dining- room, with its original fireplace. There is a partial division of the kitchen and the main reception room by a wall which is in essence a row of wooden storage cupboards, to that the light from the kitchen window and the light from the far window of the reception room (overlooking the terrace area) flows between the two spaces. Currently the room is dressed with a long table running before the fireplace, in the traditional Gascon way. The rear wall has seen the incorporation of a large panel of glass, creating an invisible wall between the internal winter dining area and the summer terrace. This fabulous room has been created from the original barn. Behind the kitchen there is access to a downstairs cloakroom, with a fabulous stone sink, and the downstairs laundry- room. La Cave/Bar This property has been designed by a family that clearly loves to party and to entertain in style. It is no surprise that there is a private bar incorporated into the property, with the original beer barrels. A glass and metal window adds a contemporary note to this area, in smart contrast to the thick slabs of stone on the floor. With high ceilings and a view to the mezzanine area above, this is a fabulous party room. A small bar positioned in-front of two vast wine vats, is the perfect place to hang out with friends. With ample space for a dining table, this room provides yet one more place in which to entertain. Set back from this room, and just a few steps from the serving bar, there is a wine cellar. Cool, with a concrete floor, and shelving filled on each side, with the finest wines and spirits; the bar and the wine cellar will delight lovers of fine wines the world over. The Mezzanine/ Library The mezzanine runs as a gallery above the downstairs bar area, and has been fitted with elegant book shelves, to create a library/reading area. Here one can sit and read, while below friends sip wine at the bar. A rear door from the mezzanine opens directly onto the pool area, with its covered terrace and kitchen, tempting readers once more to put down their books, and take a dip in the pool, or sip an ice cold beer. Upstairs Divided into two distinct area, two bedrooms sit to the front of the property in what was once the original maison de maitre. These two rooms overlook the front and side of the property, and share a family bathroom. From the terrace area, two bedrooms share a gorgeous family bathroom, which has all the appeal of a five star hotel bathroom. The master suite has its own vast bathroom, with both a shower (created from a wine vat, circular in shape) and a sumptuous bathtub. The main bedroom also has a flight of wooden stairs leading to a room above, in the style of a Duplex apartment. There are two separate WCs on the first floor. In addition to the impression one has in this property of having come to stay at a luxury retreat (the bathrooms are truly a work of art and some of the most lovely bathrooms we have seen here at BLISS) there is also a dinky circular cupboard area on the landing, which opens out into mini kitchen, for tea and coffee, with a small round copper sink. Also on the landing, for the storage of all those lovely Indian cotton towels and bed-sheets, there are vast cupboard areas, which (as every cupboard in the house) have been individually designed by the finest carpenters.

Sitting in six hectares of parkland, in a non-isolated location, this beautiful old property is located close to Auch, capital of the Gers, and benefits from splendid views over the valley. Its fine old stones have born witness to centuries of history and remain in excellent condition to tell its tales of time today. Located on the top of a hillside, the view is remarkable over the valleys of Gascony, reaching as far as the Pyrénées. The swimming pool is located in an ideal position from which to enjoy these views, sitting in an elevated position. The vast expanse of land lies to the front of the property with one nearby property to the rear (thus preserving the uninterrupted views to the south) The current owner has carried out a vast programme of restoration over the years, carefully preserving the original walls and the authenticity of the property’s medieval architecture, as well as preserving many original features internally. Today, though the property bears witness to major works carried out in recent years, it offers also an exciting opportunity to the next generation to lift the works to the next level in order to render it comfortable for modern living being somewhat sparse on the inside for the moment. One is easily forgiven for imagining this to be the 16th century and not the 21st internally - but this is in many aspects a blank canvas on which to design a remarkable home with spacious rooms and high ceilings Throughout the property the inside walls are exposed stone, the ground-floor tiled in more recent years. Fine examples of medieval history are preserved throughout : fireplaces, original vaulted walls and a wine cellar. With successive renovations, the owner lifted the veils of time and reveal the property’s hidden secrets, such as a magnificent Renaissance door. Who knows if further treasures await to be discovered ….

We first discover this authentic Gascon property on a scorching hot summer’s day. Nestling in a small hamlet surrounded by a large plot of land to the front, rear and side the house has retained many of its original features. The property is sold with the walls of an old stone barn, which has sadly lost its roof. The barn is ripe for conversion (with planning permission) and provides a natural and impressive stone division between this property and its neighbour; lending one the sense of total privacy whilst sitting in a friendly, non-isolated position. We enter the property down a long driveway which runs alongside the barn. To the front of the property there is a generous plot of land and trees which screen the house from the quiet rural lane on which it sits. We enter the property via the original front door and find ourselves in a wide and spacious hallway with original terracotta floor tiles, smoothed by the patina of the years. The far end the hallway opens onto a rear terrasse where a luncheon table is dressed in the shade beneath a covered trellis area. Beyond here one can just about see the pool and pool house at the far end of the garden. FOR MORE INFORMATION AND PHOTOS HEAD TO BLISSIMMO.COM

One wonders what it's doing here, with its Mediterranean villa vibe. It's like stepping into a Slim Aarons photograph. We wouldn’t be surprised to see bikini-clad beauties sipping Martinis by the pool. Or perhaps an older couple lounging on deck chairs, sunglasses on, gazing at the scenery. That’s when we realize: here, the sea is green. Stretching endlessly, it undulates gently all the way to the distant Pyrenees. We’re on the deck of a luxury yacht, lazily slicing through time under the blue sky. The calm is overwhelming. Just the gurgle of a fountain, a bird’s song, a deer passing through the tall grass. A few strokes in the pool to cool off. Suddenly, a big party. Chic people, friends laughing out loud, a drink in hand. Children jumping and shouting in the pool, splashing everyone. The men are busy at the barbecue. We dance to loud music. The neighbors don’t mind; they’re far away. The sun is beating down. We’ll need to open the awnings. How about a walk in the woods? It’s cool there. And with a bit of luck, we’ll see some pheasants. Or hares. By the way, did you see the pond with the goldfish and water lilies? Come, I’ve put my new car in the garage. Have you tried the fruits from the garden? Evening falls. Unfortunately, it starts to rain. Let's take shelter. Patio or living room? Both are spacious. Unless you'd prefer a game of billiards in the game room? Are you staying overnight? The studio is ready. Stay a few days with the kids, the guesthouse is free. It's late. We go to bed, eyes lost on the pool that has regained its calm. We’ll clean the kitchen later, it’s hidden enough not to see the mess. Tomorrow, we'll go shopping in Auch, it's only ten minutes away. But only after a good soak in the whirlpool tub. Then I'll isolate myself a bit in my office. I have work to finish before tinkering in the shed. Hey, tonight, do we have company or are we having a romantic evening on the terrace?
