Luxury houses with terrace for sale Montesquiou, France

Romantic Château in search of loving owner to restore to former glory. Dear House Hunter, I am a beautiful and sizeable stone property. Some call me a château, but I resemble many things, from an elegant chartreuse, or manor house. My foundations are embedded in the 15th century, but over the years I have grown to resemble what you will most easily recognize as a sumptuous 18th century home, with high ceilings, tall window frames and many period features, from parquet and terra-cotta stone floors to my grand salon, which begs to host a ball should you so wish. Netherfield Park, or the Château de Courcelles have nothing on me! Currently slumbering in woodland, with English-style gardens planted to the front some thirty years ago, the first thing you will see on arrival, beyond my stoned and walled entrance, is a romantic summer garden, bursting with life. To the rear there are both raised lawns with walled gardens, and below a riot of woodland, a haven for birds and bees. On arrival and from the outside, I look somewhat more modest in size than I am. People say I resemble the kind of house publishers choose to put on the front cover of novels; stories in which there is usually a love affair and a mystery to unravel; but which could not have happened without the beautiful property itself. The house is always a central character; an elegant backdrop to life itself, where history can be made and new memories carved. To move here is to take on not just a project, but a lifestyle. A piece of history. As a château, I am proud of my brilliant Basque red front door, which strikes a colourful and elegant note on my impressive façade. With symmetrical windows, I am imposing. I have inspired many artists and photographers, being, if I do say so myself, rather an attractive building. I may have faded over the years, but it is easy to imagine that not so long ago my hallways bustled with ten full-time members of staff, who wore black uniforms with little white aprons, buffing and polishing my wooden floors and shining my lovely terra-cotta tiles on the ground floor. The kitchens were filled with bubbling pans; cooks bustling around to create sumptuous Gascon meals with all the fine local produce. The rear kitchen is the perfect place to prep vegetables or wash the pots. Throughout, my tall windows, which still retain their original glass, were brilliantly polished, sunlight flooding into the house from every angle. This is a property for a large family, a lover of history, or someone with a project, perhaps to create a small bijou guest house, or private hotel. Slumbering is all well and good, but like the proverbial phoenix, I’m reaching out across the mysterious and magical channels of the internet, to find the perfect owner who will undertake this restoration project. Although it is unseemly in my generation to talk of anything so mundane as one’s purse, I will say, that unless you are prepared to live somewhat rustically, just for the pleasure of spending time with me, I estimate a budget of 500 000 euros and upwards, perhaps a million, with which to restore my beautiful old bones. The sky is the limit but so is my potential. At a certain age, no-one likes to talk of their inner rumblings, creaks and all the little things that need to be fixed, but I must confess, my plasterwork has cracked and bobbled on the ground floor, some of my floor tiles are a little wobbly underfoot; my bathrooms meagre and more becoming of an earlier age. It would be lovely if my walls could be smoothed out again, and my creases ironed away. I feel I would do very well with some lovely chalk paint and colours. My insulation and heating need a little attention in order to provide some modern comforts for these old but rather lovely bones. For overnight guests, it would be nice to find a lavatory or two in addition to the two which are currently housed at the end of the ground floor and first floor hallways. I have a grand salon, where you could host a ball, as I mentioned. I also have a cosy living-room for family movie evenings. I have a big farmhouse style kitchen with a range, as well as a large utility room which has seen better days but is such a useful space. There is a hidden door in my dining-room, in the wooden panelled walls (one would expect nothing less in such an intriguing house!) where staff would organise serving dishes, during elegant family meals, when a host of guests would come to dine. There is even a family chapel, which has seen weddings and Christenings, although is quite empty now. When it’s time to sleep, there are five very large bedrooms on the first floor all with a sink and shower. The sixth bedroom which has fallen into disrepair, shares a bathroom with the master suite and could also be transformed into a dressing-room – but sadly this bathroom is currently out of order. For those who have a head for dizzying heights, a flight of stone steps runs from the grand salon up to the rooftop tower, where you can step out like a bird on a perch. Take care, this could be a fabulous place for evening drinks, but you will need to add some railings for safety. The view is fabulous, and from up here, you will appreciate the peaceful tranquility of the area: far from roads. A place where one can almost hear the trees growing; see the swallows soaring. My gardens provide a few unexpected quirks and surprises. Entry is from the ground floor level and ascends the majestic period staircase to the first floor, where there is a second grand door which opens onto a garden on the upper level of the property. This second walled garden is also accessible via both French windows in the Grand Salon. From here one can look down to the woodland below which has been left as a natural reserve. The upper walled gardens are reminiscent of the early 19th century gardens built at this time. On this level, there is a veranda and a covered terrace area for outdoor dining. I cannot deny, it will take a home seeker with heart and courage to take on this project, with so many memories of what the château used to look like, bubbling beneath the surface, if you have the drive to tackle a restoration project in this stunning and peaceful region of Southwest France, I am a Château more than worthy of your attention. This is a very special place, with a very special energy. On arrival here, the château stirs a sense of curiosity. Guests long to push open the grand front door and step inside to explore, which is just what we will do. Be my guest! Let’s look in more detail: The Ground Floor Entrance We enter the château via a brilliant red front door, where we find ourselves in a large hallway, that runs to the staircase at the far end. The central hallway is crossed by a transverse hallway at its midpoint. All the main floor rooms, and the cellar and barns are accessible via these two hallways. The floors have conserved their original terra-cotta tiles. On entering the main front door and the central hallway, a door to the left opens into the formal dining-room. The Dining-Room & Butler’s Pantry (“Garde Manger”). The room is dressed with a large formal table. There is a black marble fireplace, and the rear wall is clad with decorative wooden panelling. One of the wooden panels opens to reveal a secret doorway into a room behind, where staff would stack the plates and dishes, whilst waiting to serve the next course. The Chapel, Cosy Sitting-Room & Study Returning to the central hallway, we turn left, into the second transverse hallway. Here a door opens to an ancient family chapel, no longer in use. At the far end of the hallway, there is another door to the dining-room, and a door to the snug and cosy sitting-room, furnished with comfortable sofas and where the family gathers to watch television. This room has two big windows and a woodburning stove. Next to the sitting room there is a downstairs study room with on window and shelving. On the other side of the central hallway, along the second section of the transverse hallway, we find the domestic quarters and kitchens. The family kitchen & the Utility Room, barn & cellar These two sizeable rooms ensure there is plenty of space in the Château for food preparation. The family kitchen has space for a large breakfast table, a range-style cooker, and a sink and workspace tiled with old-fashioned Delft style blue and white tiles. With its terracotta floor tiles, and characterful large stone slab windows sills, opening onto the bucolic front gardens, the kitchen is a delightful room. There is a cosy woodburning stove in the kitchen, welcome when dining at the kitchen table on a cold winter’s night. The Utility Room Next to the kitchen accessible via the hallway and a door to the far end of the room, we find a second room, equally as spacious in size where the kitchen staff worked. With somewhat faded glory, this is nonetheless a very useful space, also with a large table and sink. The Barn & Cellar Opposite the rear kitchen there is a door to a vast downstairs barn, and a wine cellar. This room is ample enough to store a tractor, or any number of garden tools. The downstairs lavatory The WC is situated at the far end of the hallway leading to the kitchen, rear kitchen and the barn. The Outbuildings A door to the far end of the hallway opens onto the gardens, and several outbuildings requiring attention. The First Floor The original staircase turns upwards to the first floor and to a spacious landing, where there is a grand door leading to the upper gardens, covered terrasse and veranda. The Grand Salon This room is the pièce de resistance of the property. Impressive due to its size, formidable stone fireplace, and two large French windows opening onto the raised gardens, this is a gorgeous room. There is a terracotta floor, bathed in light from its vast windows and doors, and with a stone staircase to the tower, where there is a bird’s nest view of the property and the countryside for miles around. This is a room where it is truly possible to dine in style. Push back the tables and host a ball in true 18th century style. A wedding party hosted here, but with the ancient carved chairs, and central wooden table, one can imagine this room is fit for a king or queen to come to supper. It is almost baronial. A place to sleep after the ball… On the first-floor level of the property, distributed along two vast hallways clad with terra cotta stone floor tiles, there are five bedrooms each with a shower or bath, and a sink, and one bedroom which has fallen into disrepair which shares the family bathroom which is not in use and requires fixing. There is one toilet in the tower, above the ground floor toilet. The bedrooms are characterized by their size and light, their ornamental fireplaces and high ceilings. The Gardens The property has substantial gardens, both ornamental, terraced and wild, with a total of 13.5 hectares of land. The property has two terraced gardens, one at the front of the property and the second on the first-floor terrace which sweeps around a section of the house creating a very private garden area overlooking trees and distant views of the Pyrenees. There is an area below the terrace which is mown and houses the pigeonnier and an ancient fishtank. Our thoughts here at BLISS This property was clearly once a fine and sumptuous home and deserving of restoration. If you dream of an escape to the chateau in rural southwest France, this property has much to offer and a wealth of character. The building is not as imposing and overwhelming as one might imagine a chateau to be. Make no mistake, it is vast but is has the feel of a very substantial manor house, and one can easily imagine the works required to make it shine again. It is generous in size for a normal family home, though the last couple to live here in total tranquility, lived here by themselves for thirty years. You will need a very solid envelope to make this home perfect throughout. If you can live in rustic charm, and are prepared to do the works little by little, the property was lived in on a full-time basis until very recently. The location is utterly peaceful. This is a rare, and interesting find, and we are excited to share it with our buyers here at Bliss.

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?

Push open the gate and discover this property, completely rebuilt by the current owner in 2013. We are immediately charmed, as two driveways lead us to the main house. There are trees on either side, including two majestic yew trees. One driveway leads to the entrance via the kitchen, but we prefer to continue along the gently sloping driveway, beneath the wisteria that adorns the west façade and its main entrance. In front of us is the whole of the terrace, bordered by a low wall that gives it a Mediterranean feel. It's the ideal place to share convivial moments with family and friends, under the jasmine-covered gazebo. It's easy to imagine yourself admiring the scenery while sipping iced tea or a floc de Gascogne. A little further down, the perfectly manicured grounds could accommodate a swimming pool (subject to obtaining the necessary planning permission). Let's continue our discovery of the garden along another path. Along the way, we come across a second gazebo, wrapped in a curtain of jasmine. A real refuge from the sun, where you can read or seek inspiration before continuing on to the artist's studio and giving free rein to your creativity. Adjacent to the studio is the guest house, with its two bedrooms, shower room and kitchen. Everything here is on one level! It would be very easy to combine these two parts of the property. Let's move on to the main house, and take a look at the shed at the bottom of the garden (as a famous singer not far from here would say...), a good size for storing all your tools and the tractor. THE MAIN HOUSE THE GROUND FLOOR The vast entrance hall offers a general view of several rooms. The high ceilings and numerous windows bathe the entire ground floor in golden light. Opposite us is the dining room and the large, fully-equipped kitchen. On our left, we enter a large lounge divided into two parts: a small lounge facing west and the larger part facing the open fireplace. A corridor leads to a small bedroom and its shower room. Finally, there is a study and the veranda, a real additional living space with lots of natural light. ON THE FIRST FLOOR A beautiful wooden staircase leads us upstairs, where we discover a superb old roof frame that was preserved and enhanced during the renovation. On our right, the master bedroom has a double south-west exposure, with a south-facing window offering a breathtaking postcard landscape. In the centre we have a good-sized dressing room, and to the left we find an original feature: two shower rooms, one for Mrs and the other for Mr. THE WORKSHOP AND GUEST HOUSE This building is a real bonus. Perfect for hosting family or friends, or as a small holiday cottage. The guest house is accessed via a pretty fitted kitchen, then a corridor leads to two bedrooms and a shower room with WC. To the right, the artist's studio with its impressive height has long been used by the current owner as an exhibition space, and just behind it is a lovely space that could be used as a studio.

In the 16th century, this mansion was a dependency of the castle of Preignan. The master of the place, however, wanted his domain to be autonomous. This is why we find today in the house vestiges of the forge, the miller, as well as very beautiful half-timbered walls. The old courtyard is now a magnificent patio allowing the masters of the place to find a real cozy outdoor nest within the house itself. This Gascon residence is made up of five bedrooms, two bathrooms, a very beautiful living-dining room, as well as two other living rooms. We also find a large garage, a laundry room, and a cellar. For the exteriors: an outbuilding, a large pool house and its swimming pool as well as a very beautiful park not overlooked. To complete these services, the house is located two minutes from all amenities. Indeed, Preignan today offers its residents: schools, restaurants, post office, nurses, doctors etc ... and all this 10 minutes from Auch. Want charm, calm, space without being far from amenities this house is for you...
