A discreet country lane leads to the entrance of the estate which is accessed by a long and private driveway flanked with trees. The air of complete seclusion is yet further enhanced by the ancient stone walls of a private courtyard to the front of the property with parking outside the main walls. The courtyard is dotted with mulberry trees, between the main body of the house to one side, and the guest wing on the other. An opening in the far way leads the eye on a tantalising journey through a leafy doorway to a bright blue fleck of light and water and the swimming pool beyond. This dash of modernity is carefully hidden from view, so that on our initial entry to the property, there is the timeless feel one would expect from a period property on a site occupied since Roman times. We enter the main house via an entrance hall with an ancient fireplace in super working order. The pleasingly chunky stone floor flags are suitable for muddy boots, and this welcoming area is the perfect cloakroom, but also a spot in the house where the owner would light a fire and sit and read a book. To the side there is a useful laundry and utility room, kingdom of the resident cats at feeding time, with a shower and guest cloakroom in the hallway. The formal entrance hall to the property is currently dressed as a dining-room. From here, we access a comfortable sitting-room with a splendid working fireplace style directoire. Nothing rivals the charm of a crackling log fire, and here the current owner has dressed the room with comfortable sofas and armchairs; a delightful place to read with an undeniably cosy ambience. The sitting-room might easily be used as a formal dining-room (allowing the main hallway its original purpose). From here, there is a view and doorway to the splendid raised terraces; the room bathed with southerly light and a glimpse of the Pyrenées sketched on the horizon on certain days of the year. There are three main reception rooms in this property. We turn our attention now to the second; a grand reception room, with its superb wooden floor. This room also has a large fireplace and is spacious enough to comprise a formal seating area, and over 55m² of space for formal entertainment. Off the grand salon, there is a small area which currently houses a dresser, and allows for the preparation of food between the kitchen and the main reception room of the house. The last of the three main rooms is a wonderful library room at the far end of the main house, with fitted bookshelves. This room is also used a music room, with space for a grand piano, and another fine fireplace. The fitted main kitchen is a glorious and spacious room. With space for a breakfast table and doors into the garden, an open fireplace for grilling meat, and a terra cotta stone floor this room is also an aesthetically pleasing reception room for an informal lunch between friends. We complete our tour of the ground floor of the main house, with a look at the laundry room. A staircase from a second hallway leads to the first floor, where a spacious landing (a room in its own right) house a large dresser, and with space for a bureau at the far end. On the first floor there are two main ensuite bedrooms, which have the feel of private apartments. In particular the master bedroom, with its own dressing-room, and vast ensuite bathroom, leading to the bedroom at the far end. The third bedroom may be used as a single bedroom or a study and shares the ensuite in the second bedroom (which has two doors to ensure complete privacy). The Guest Suite This property is a delight for anyone wishing to entertain family and friends and to provide each guest with a sense of complete independence. The main house can very much remain the private domain of the owners. In the stone buildings on the other side of the mulberry shaded courtyard, there is a long stone building which has been divided into three sections. The first boasts a fabulous main reception room with arched gates to the panoramic pool beyond the sitting room and kitchen, and has its own private guest or garden kitchen and sitting room, and a separate room housing the pool machinery. On the first floor above there are two double bedrooms each with their own ensuite bathrooms. The next guest apartment is a one level building with a vast bedroom with an ensuite bathroom. The final guest apartment is a two-level building with a reception/kitchen, a terrace, and upstairs a double bedroom with an ensuite shower-room. In each of the garden folies there is a sleeping area and a bathroom. The Pool & Gardens This property undoubtedly has one of the most architecturally spectacular gardens we have seen at BLISS. The views combined with neatly tended walls, stretching to an ancient stone wall, with stone steps down to the lower gardens, and two “folies” at each end of the wall are impossible to rival for pure symmetry and beauty. The poolside is delightful. Utterly tranquil, and with gorgeous views over the surrounding countryside. There is an undeniable sense of having found a “Secret Garden” with this property; its shaded terraces providing the perfect place to dine, on the other side of the courtyard wall. You will find more photographs and additional information on our BLISS IMMOBILIER website.

We leave the lively town of Condom, and head for the countryside. The drive to the property is peaceful, and we soon leave the main roads behind, traversing farmland, fields of wheat, sunflower and corn. On arrival, we pull into a smart driveway beside a neat looking garden, where from the outset everything appears to be in immaculate order. The property has recently been rendered, and has a smart and attractive appeal from the outside. The windows have all been recently changed to aluminium their frames contrasting nicely with the stone façade. The land slopes down to a row of vines in neat rows, lending a feel of Provence to the landscape which is lush and emerald green. This is a peaceful location, the one neigbouring property turned to face the other way and at a discreet distance. The house looks towards the views and over its own garden. There is nothing to spoil the landscape for miles around. On the far side of the property, there is a fabulous covered terrace which has been designed as an outdoor reception room, with a summer kitchen, an ideal spot for a large dining-table, and views both to the pool and orchard. This sheltered spot provides a perfect place for alfresco dining both in summer rain or scorching hot days when it is impossible to sit outside without shade. We enter a light-filled open-plan kitchen/reception-room with large bay windows on two sides, one opening directly onto the recently fitted pool and the other to the terrace where the owners like to sit in the evenings for a drink. The view of the poolside, when the windows are pulled open, is particularly inviting; lending the impression that one could step from the living room directly to the waters edge. Our impression that this is one continuous space is accentuated by the stone terrace which flows nicely from the house to the pool in one continuous stretch. In the living room there is a fireplace which houses a log-burning glass insert, for snug winter evenings by the fire. The walls and floors are all in neutral tones, with a clean white ceiling, which gives the impression the property has only just been built, despite the old stone walls. The kitchen is immaculate, with a number of useful contemporary white storage units, a central island, and a view directly onto the reception room, and to the pool. There is a walk in cupboard for additional storage. The splash-back is tiles with white ceramic tiles, the oven inserted into a wall unit and the extractor fan in slick black : all of white contribute to the kitchen’s crisp, smart appeal. To the rear of the kitchen a small inner corridor leads to an additional pantry area, where the freezer and fridge are kept, with additional storage cupboards. At the end of the corridor there is a downstairs cloakroom, with WC and wash basin and next to it, a lovely clean white laundry room with a downstairs shower. At the end of the hallway, there is a downstairs double bedroom, which in turn has its own private entrance/exit, opening onto a covered porch area with a concrete floor, where the family car is parked, and where a door leads to a spacious barn with a new wooden doors, an ideal space to house the logs for the fire, or the garden tools. This workshop area has a concrete floor and a new pine ceiling with electricity, water and a sink. The ground floor double bedroom is ideal for guests or older children having a private door to the garden, and with the downstairs bathroom and shower room next door this enables perfect guest accommodation. This completes our tour of the ground floor. Now let’s take a look upstairs. We ascend to the first floor via a contemporary black metal staircase which leads to a spacious landing area, which is more than just a landing but an upstairs reception room, with lovely windows running the length of the room, and overlooking the front garden. There is a bookshelf, a guitar, the perfect area to relax, and take in the views. This central landing/upstairs living space has a hallway at each end, leading to the upstairs bedrooms. On one side there is a bedroom currently set up with twin beds, which has a skylight, and next to it a double bedroom with pleasant garden views from a tilting window, and exposed beams painted in white. On the other side of the landing there is a white marble bathroom with a bathtub, beautiful long sink, and shower, also with marble tiles. The bathroom has direct access to a fabulous long dressing room, with a row of cupboards on each side, with glass doors, with lots of space to keep all the family laundry hidden from view. In the hallway there is an upstairs cloakroom/WC, with red and white decorative tiles, and a washbasin, and at the far end of the hallway, a double bedroom with fantastic views both over the poolside and the surrounding countryside. The upstairs bedrooms share the aforementioned family bathroom, with shower and bathtub. The property has one final surprise for us. A separate guest cottage, which is has a downstairs bedroom, kitchen, and shower room/WC, and a first floor loft area, which is currently used as a music room for guitar sessions. The guest annexe is perfect for friends and family having its own kitchen, for complete independence.

This magnificent Gascon Château sits in the heart of rolling countryside and has been treasured by the same family for several generations. With its foundations in the Middle Ages, circa 1479, these old stone walls have observed the centuries pass by and observed each generation adapt the building according to the needs and innovations of its time. The most remarkable of these modifications was the extension of the original château before the French Revolution by the Comtesse de Beaumont, a courtesan of the court, who, forced to flee from court and to return home to Gascony, (one wonders at the actions that led to the wrath of the Queen?), later hosted political refugees herself, fleeing the bloodshed of Paris and the reign of terror in 1789. Later throughout the 20th century and war with Germany, the chateau once again offered sanctuary to those in need. In the second world war a Jewish refugee by the name of Irène Lezorviez, was hidden here. As a sign of recognition a tree was planted in 1987 in Jerusalem as a sign of recognition to the Gascon French resistance. The Comtesse de Beaumont was the person to make the greatest contribution to the development of the Château as we know it today. Bringing back home with her the notions of fine living she had experienced at court, the Comtesse was anxious to create a similar splendour in rural Gascony. This might have been a rural and working estate, but the Comtesse made additions to ensure that it was transformed into a place of beauty and the ideal place to host parties, with the addition of the 18th century wing which forms the main building today, to the addition of the stone turrets with their far reaching views, to the development of the stunning parkland with its tree-lined avenues in the shape of a star, leading to the bronze statue of Diane the huntress, and last but not least, the construction of the delicate and ornamental chapel where current owners of this family have married. During her time at the Château many parties were hosted here, and it is a testimony to the longevity of the Gascons themselves, that having escaped the Revolution, the Comtesse lived on until the fine age of one hundred years! Each successive generation has brought change and innovation to the park and buildings, with various additions; for example, the innovative water-pump and windmill, to the complete renewal of the roof as we see them today by the current owners. This property was the first to experience the joys of running water and has traditionally been the residence of a succession of innovative and inspirational residents. With its towers, pigeonniers, moat and wine chai, as well as being a place of beauty, we are reminded that this Château is also a testament to the rich agricultural architecture of Gascony. Brought to market for the first time in centuries by BLISS IMMOBILIER since 1881, this is a rare and extraordinary opportunity to enjoy not only an incredible building and park, but to experience French history first-hand. Some of the original furniture remains, including the commode at the entrance hall with its grand mirror, installed by the Comtesse so that she might check her appearance before leaving through the grand front door. As you glance at the mirror today, and see your own reflection, it is easy to sense the rustle of the skirts of the Comtesse behind you in the grand hallway and imagine her elegant figure sweeping across the magnificent original tiled floor. These rooms are alive with history, in a place which time has somehow managed to forget. Whether your project is to develop a business suitable to the 21st century within these walls, and to bring the rooms alive with conferences or luxury guest suites for guests visiting this wonderful corner of southwest France, or whether you are someone who simply craves the joy and of stepping back in time and living a part of your life where so many others have left their imprint before, we cannot know. What we can promise, is that this is a rare opportunity to live in a place of immense beauty. Climb to the top of the high stone turret and survey the dizzying view of your magnificent 4,6-hectare park, with far reaching views as far as the eye can see on all four sides. Admire the old oak trees which are hundreds of years old, the likes of which could never grow within a single lifetime. Welcome to your own personal opportunity to become chatelain or chatelaine of this fine Gascon château. More photos and information as well as a film on our Bliss real estate website

The approach to the property The property is hidden behind pretty stone walls, attractive wrought iron gates, and a canopy of mature trees, including some lovely mature Cyprus trees. The garden is full of roses and peonies and on the day of our visit is bursting with blossom. Beyond the pool and gardens, landscaped on two levels, our eyes are drawn across miles of countryside to the south. The vista from the property is lovely, from both the pretty gardens around the house and the valley beyond. The house : the ground floor The old wooden door, with its characterful “hand-shaped” door-knocker, opens onto a traditional Gascon hallway with a terracotta floor tile. The hallway runs the full length of the property. The kitchen With a door both to the main hallway and the side gardens and path to the pool, the kitchen is spacious enough to incorporate a dining-room table and chairs and also boasts a beautiful open fire-place, a characterful spot for a winter’s supper. The kitchen is divided into two area by a half wall, and has a pretty decorative chimney breast built with old terracotta tiles. The downstairs study/ bedroom/ WC A spacious area on the ground floor provides room for a downstairs study and bedroom, with a WC. The main reception room This pleasant symmetrical room has a pretty fireplace with a wood-burning stove and a lovely classical plasterwork surround. There are two spacious cupboards with shelves to each side of the fireplace. The floor is lain with terracotta tiles. The Dining-Room The dining room is of a similar size to the main reception room and also boasts a fireplace. In addition room houses a contemporary staircase to the first floor. The First Floor The first floor of the property provides a surprising amount of space. The first floor reception-room The stairway leads to an open plan area which is currently dressed with sofas and chairs and used as a games’ and reading room. This area has exposed oak beams running across the ceiling and has the “feel” of a cosy “den” or central communal space shared by the occupants of the other bedrooms. The first floor “cinema room” A doorway opens from the central reception area to a surprising space. There is evidence from the newly fitted (but not yet painted) plasterboard ceiling that there were plans to concert this room into a large master bedroom with a dressing-room at one end. (NB: “a change of usage” permit may be required to convert this area above the barn into extra bedrooms). Currently this room is used as a “home-cinema” room. The bedrooms Dotted around the central reception area of the first floor, there are three good-sized bedrooms. As this property was originally built in the style of a Chartreuse, the rooms have been added and built around exposed oak beams with low windows on ground floor level. The ambience in all three of these spacious rooms is one of cosy rusticity. The bathroom The upstairs bedrooms all share a family bathroom (with a bath-tub) and separate WC.

The property in more detail. The entrance hall The main front door opens onto a large reception area which seamlessly links the original farmhouse and the new barn conversion into one fabulous home. The entrance hall is generous enough in size to warrant being called a room in its own right. The dividing wall, between the lobby and the kitchen hosts an impressive collection of books displayed on a bespoke bookshelf. Facing the front door we see a contemporary staircase ascending to the first floor. There is plenty of room for boots and coats, and a downstairs cloakroom. The original farmhouse Double doors lead from the reception area into a small hall with a cloakroom. The breakfast kitchen The breakfast room houses the washing machine, a second dishwasher and an electric cooker. It has a cosy farmhouse feel, place for a breakfast table and is fitted with useful storage cupboards and worktops, and is plumbed for an American style fridge freezer. This is a useful room which, together with the sitting room and en-suite bedroom creates a self-contained apartment. The sitting room The property benefits from a second reception room, currently used as a television room and study, and with a window and a door to the courtyard. This room leads directly to the master suite. This is a lovely room in the winter months, being snug and cosy with the wood-burning stove. The downstairs master bedroom & ensuite This large bedroom is a fabulous room, with a window overlooking the courtyard and two French doors giving access to a private terrace. The ensuite bathroom has a double walk-in shower, a bathtub and two sinks. The bedroom and bathroom are luxurious, and include attractive original features such as a stone sink and oak beams. The barn conversion The reception area leads directly to a vast contemporary space, incorporating a fully fitted kitchen, a dining area and a sitting area. The kitchen The pristine, well designed kitchen has extensive storage and worktops, and a central island. It has an induction hob, two integrated ovens and warming drawer, with a built in dishwasher and refrigerator. The dining area The spacious dining area flows through from the kitchen to the main lounge. The main lounge This impressive area has a cathedral high ceiling reaching up to the mezzanine above. This open-plan room is filled with light from the south facing French doors which open directly onto the swimming pool terrace, giving far-reaching views over the valley below. The large sliding patio doors at the end of the lounge open onto a covered terrace which is ideal for al fresco dining. The first floor A contemporary bespoke oak staircase with stainless steel guardrails ascends to the spacious first-floor landing. This is a large mezzanine which overlooks the main reception area below, and gives access to three further en-suite bedrooms. Bedroom 1 A short hallway with fitted storage and a door to the ensuite bathroom gives access to a very large bedroom with fully fitted wardrobes. It has south and west-facing windows and an open view above the main lounge through high windows onto the garden. This room is particularly versatile as it was designed in a way that allows it to be easily divided or laid out differently, for example to create two separate rooms. The ensuite has a bath, walk in shower, double sinks and a west facing window. Bedroom 2 To the other side of the first floor landing bedroom 2 has a large west facing window with superb views. It has an ensuite shower room. Bedroom 3 This very large bedroom has two windows overlooking the courtyard, and a spacious ensuite shower room with a south-facing window looking out towards the Pyrenees and a Velux roof window. There is also a further room with a Velux roof window that was designed as a dressing room but has also been used as a bedroom for children. The garage and workshop The spacious stone garage can be accessed from the utility room or from the parking area. It houses the boiler and oil tank which supply underfloor heating to the entire ground floor, with radiators throughout the first floor. The underfloor heating is zoned, allowing different areas to be heated to different temperatures, and all radiators are fitted with thermostatic valves. The garage can accommodate a tractor and a car. It has a useful very large sink and both the garage and the adjacent workshop are fitted with extensive storage and workbenches. There is a mezzanine which provides additional storage above the workshop. The garden and terraces All of the terraces have external lighting and power points, and are laid out to offer shade at any time of the day. There are several outside taps and a solar shower. All rainwater is directed into the pond, or collected in storage tanks for watering plants.
