luxury house with panoramic view for sale Avezan, France

A Gascon chateau, a commandery of the Knights Templar and their many outbuildings around an enclosed garden, in the centre of a charming and historic village, at the gates of the Gers department, one hour from Toulouse. Built on a rocky outcrop and enclosed by fortified walls, the detached complex of buildings overlooks the village's few neighbouring houses and enjoys a 360° view of the surrounding rolling countryside from each of its edifices. Sheltered from view, the property is also steeped in silence given that the secluded village is only accessible via one small road. The adjacent buildings that compose the architectural complex surround a grassy courtyard as well as the former chapel of the “Knights’ Manor”, which became a church in the 15th century. Although it forms a harmonious whole with stone exteriors topped with barrel tile roofs, different buildings stand out due to the masonry of their exteriors, their roofs and other architectural elements specific to the successive periods in which the property was remodelled, such as its patios or windows. Consequently, the chateau that houses the current 330-m² dwelling distinguishes itself from the rest of the property thanks to its towers that cadence its exterior walls clad in stone and small bricks, as well as its many windows and immense patio of more than 100 m², highlighted with authentic balusters. As for the former Knights Templars monastery, which was later used as a wine storehouse and then a residence, it is a perfect example of medieval architecture. The horseshoe-shaped building presents traces of its former functions as a fortified chateau as demonstrated by the arrow slits, loopholes and scars resulting from the multiples modifications to its exterior over the centuries. With a surface area of 450 m², it has two storeys, including the attic space, and is topped with a gabled roof bordered by a triple Genoise corbel, while its exterior walls, composed of an amalgam of unpointed massive rubble stone masonry and ashlar stone, are characteristic of medieval constructions. Nestled next to one another, the outbuildings – former barns, stables, wine storehouse and other storerooms – are arranged between the two main buildings in such a way as to create a single edifice, which acts as the village's epicentre. It was only recently that a tree-filled landscaped piece of land below the village was annexed to the property. Today, sheltered from view, it includes a swimming pool and pool house in need of a bit of refreshing.

Wonderful Garden and panoramic views Overview Located on a quiet street parallel to the Rue Nationale, this house of around 200 m² enjoys a prime location that allows you to make the most of life in Lectoure. Just a few steps from shops, cafés, schools and the renowned Friday market, it offers everyday convenience in a serene atmosphere right in the heart of the town. One of its most remarkable features is the presence of a large garden—an exceptional element in the historic centre. Visible from the entrance thanks to wide picture windows, it creates an immediate sense of openness and light. Ground Floor A traditional wooden door opens onto a spacious hallway that sets the tone for the entire house: bright, attractively presented and featuring large glass doors that offer glimpses of the large well-tended garden beyond. To the left of the front hall there is a cozy sitting room that can be closed off for privacy. A second larger living room faces the gardens and has large glass doors on two sides, as well as a wood burner. There is a practical kitchen behind the living room, and this too opens onto the gardens. A previous owner of the property expanded the living space to include a wide covered terrace that wraps around the back of the house and can be closed off for added security when the owners are away. There is a guest WC tucked behind the living room and a staircase leads to the first floor. First Floor The landing leads to several rooms, including a practical laundry room that was once used as a kitchen. There are two bedrooms on this level. The first, the master suite, is large and sunny and has a private shower room and separate dressing room. The second bedroom, opening onto a corner balcony, enjoys an open view over the garden’s trees and the rooftops of Lectoure, giving it a peaceful and very pleasant atmosphere. This floor also includes an elegant bathroom, which also extends onto a balcony. Second Floor The top floor offers two additional bedrooms filled with natural light. Both have direct access to a shared balcony providing elevated views over the town and surrounding countryside.

Currently used as offices, they benefit from particularly beautiful views over Lectoure and its surroundings, making them perfect spaces for working, creating or unwinding. The Garden The jewel of this property is the garden, which the current owners fell in love with on their first visit. It is unusually large for a property located in the town centre, and includes a large, covered terrace highlighted by graceful arches that harmoniously extend the building’s architecture. Large mature flowerbeds have been lovingly cultivated, as well as mature trees and lawns. There are views over the surrounding countryside, and at night, the majestic spire of the town’s cathedral is lit up and casts a soft glow over the trees and flowers. There is a well on the property, and an old wall runs down one side, providing a point of interest. Behind it, a passage connects to a low door that leads to the road. This is the ideal spot to keep bicycles or a motorbike. A small stone shed in the far corner of the garden could be renovated for use as a summer kitchen or a child’s playhouse.
