Built protected from prying eyes, it is shielded by the front building, whose sober facade gives no hint of the distinctive character, which unfolds in the various rooms spread over its four floors. Facing the southern ramparts, it comprises a medieval tower acquired by the current inhabitants in a state of dilapidation in the 2000s, a garden on two levels and an outbuilding, part of which has been rebuilt in wood.

A house with a garden, patios, an outbuilding, a shop space and an apartment, nestled in the historical town of Lectoure in France’s Gers department. The edifice’s layout is typical of others in this town where buildings interlock with one another and stand around inner courtyards and gardens. The property extends from a main street on its north side, where you find the shop space and apartment, both currently rented out, to a secondary parallel street on its south side, where you enter a garage. It is made up of three distinct buildings that stand between two parallel streets. These sections are separated by outdoor spaces: a patio, a garden and terraces. The first building faces the main street. It has three floors with an unconverted loft space. Its entrance hallway leads to the grand town house and to the ground-floor shop space, which offers a floor area of around 60m² and has a shopfront window. The hallway also leads up to the apartment, which has three main rooms and a floor area of around 140m². This apartment takes up the edifice’s first and second floors. The second building has a single-storey 18th-century main section made of dressed stone that faces a court, which is partly covered. A four-floor medieval tower with a loft adjoins this section. This edifice has a wooden terrace on its south side and a walled garden that extends eastwards and southwards. On the narrow street on the south side, there is a separate stone building that adjoins two other properties. It houses a vast ground-floor garage and an upstairs space with sloping attic ceilings that could be converted. The latter space can be reached from the garden via the wooden terrace.

Boasting a prime location with far-reaching views in the heart of a highly sought-after Gascon village, this picturesque abode offers the perfect blend of rural tranquility and village life. Home to a family of three with a dog - this property is ideal as a main residence or as a holiday bolt-hole, with easy access to may countryside walks around the nearby countryside. We enter the property via a private courtyard whose ancient stone walls form an intimate and private space in which to entertain; the perfect miniature garden in which to display a collection of potted plants or in which to dine on a heady summer’s night. Small enough for easy maintenance, spacious enough for outdoor dining and relaxation in the sun, this area once comprised a first floor wooden terrasse which could potentially be re-instated in metal or wood. (Planning may be required). Certainly what this garden may lack in size, it gains in charm, being very much an additional reception-room in the summertime. From the stone courtyard we enter the house via a side door which opens onto a small hallway. Here there is a downstairs laundry room and a handy storage area. Shedding our coats, we turn to the spacious reception room which overlooks a tiny medieval street. The room is toasty warm, thanks the wood-burning stove installed by the current owners. Of note are the large glass windows which open onto the street from the reception room and allow a stream of sunlight into the room. The kitchen is a delightful area that has the “feel” of a multifunctional reception room, with a central moveable island, a dining-room area and a panoramic view of the valley to the north. The current owners would have fitted a second wood-burning stove into this room had they stayed. On the first floor an impressive master bedroom overlooks the tiny medieval village street. This fabulous room has an open-plan bathroom with a tub and sink. There is also a private ensuite WC for the parents. The family showroom shared by the other two first floor bedrooms sits in the middle of the landing. This room has a lovely view over the internal courtyard - and potentially with a rejig, one could position a bath tub in a prime position to enjoy the view. The two remaining bedrooms overlook the valley with far reaching views. One is currently used as a music room, the other a teenage bedroom : both are of a good size either as two children’s rooms - or perhaps one could be used as a study. However you choose to make use of the first floor bedrooms, the light is good and the views in both directions too. The top floor has a special surprise reserved for guests to the house. A hideaway in the eaves, a cosy nook in which to retreat, this room has the joyous playfulness of a secret den, tucked up high in the rooftop and oblivious to the stirrings of the world below. Guests who enjoy a quirky nest will feel safe and coddled by the intimate walls of this little hideaway. This room will appeal to anyone young of heart and remain entirely inaccessible to anyone who isn’t surefooted. Up on high, the bed is custom built on a platform. There is a small shower room in one corner- while WC is accessible on the first floor.

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

This house was probably originally a typical Gascon farmhouse. In fact, the base of what must have been used for the cows outside still remains. The accommodation is of a good size. As usual in these Gascon houses, we find the entrance in the middle of the house and 2 rooms on either side. On one side is the kitchen with its dining area, and on the other is a large sitting room with a fireplace. In the entrance hall is a beautiful wooden staircase that leads to the 1st floor landing, again divided into two parts. On one side are 2 bedrooms for children and on the other is the master bedroom with its dressing room. A bathroom is located on the landing. The well-crafted staircase continues to the 2nd floor. This floor can be converted in its entirety, the beams having been cleverly redone so that 2 further bedrooms and 2 bathrooms could probably be installed. It should be noted that the roof has been completely redone by a professional and that the ten-year guarantee is still in force.

Located within easy reach of the much beloved market-town of Lectoure, this rural haven offers a tranquil and restful retreat from the world. The property is situated at the end of a rural and private lane with neighbouring fields to each side, and sits in an elevated position overlooking the farmer’s bucolic woodlands to the rear; a canopy of mature trees encircling the plot. The gardens are neatly presented, with contrasting areas of woodland and landscaped areas. The lawns encircle a smart poolside terrace, decked with sun-loungers and bordered by a variety of roses, bushes and herbs. Neatly clipped pathways lead to the house both to the main entrance and to the terraces to the side, where vast bay windows overlooking the gardens from the kitchen and the reception-room. Tall and gracious trees provide an additional architectural interest to the garden. From the outside, the property has maintained the classic air of a traditional maison de maitre with its lovely stone façade. It features a stone and wood carpark and a total of five parking spaces. Inside, there an unexpected modern twist. The main hallways opens onto a vast open-plan area comprising the kitchen, dining-room and main reception-room with a vast insert log-burner. Large sliding glass doors that slot into the outer walls of the property can be pulled back to “open” the kitchen and reception rooms “out” onto the garden, creating a seamless indoor/outdoor space in the summer months, with views to the pool. An internal hallway on the ground-floor leads to a spacious and beautifully appointed bedroom with storage cupboards. A second downstairs bedroom is currently used as a study with French doors to the gardens. With access from the same hallway, there is a large a bathroom with a corner bath and spacious shower, a separate lavatory, a vast laundry-room and a boiler-room. With separate access from the garden, the current owner has converted an outbuilding into a peaceful artist’s studio.

It is possible to create a gîte or set up an independent business. Returning now to the house, let’s take a look upstairs : A modern open-plan staircase leads to the first-floor landing which has lovely views over the lower ground-floor of the property; almost as though one were standing on the upper deck of a modern boat and looking down, sunlight zinging through the property in every direction. A large internal space at the top of the stairs on the first floor is used as an upstairs reception-room. In addition to this relaxing and private upstairs living-area, there are three comfortable bedrooms, one of which has its own dressing-room and private It has a private shower room with wc and another with a large storage cupboard. There is also an additional shower-room with wc, shared by the other two bedrooms. The house is presented in pristine condition from top to bottom. The rooms are tastefully decorated, mostly in shades of white; the occasional rear wall being wall-papered to the highest standard. The property is functional, with lots of storage space, and the comfort of a large downstairs bathroom and two upstairs shower-rooms. With five main bedrooms (all doubles) and a second private reception-room upstairs, and a separate outdoor artist’s studio, there are plenty of areas in which to work from home, or to find a quiet area in which to concentrate, albeit the main “hub” of the house is open-plan. The property also has a storage area, and a covered area linking the house and artist’s studio.

This is an utterly private property since the main house cannot be seen from the lane below. Climbing upwards we leave the car in a parking area carved out of the hillside, and continue are pathway up. The property is bordered by an adjacent barn (containing a workshop, laundry room and boiler room as well as a storage area for logs) with a non-adjacent barn opposite which has been converted into a first floor atelier or loft area. The old farm house sits at the far end of the plot. The garden is immediately welcoming being planted with frothy romantic shrubs perfectly in harmony with this rural idyll. We enter the main reception room. With its high ceilings and gigantic modern rectangular window frame against the far wall, through which we are afforded a view of the wild poppies and daisies on the other side of the glass as they dance in a gentle breeze in the gardens at the side. The main reception room is elegant and spacious with an open- fireplace promising cosy winter nights in. The high ceilings and beams are a reminder that this space was once an ancient barn tagged onto a small farmhouse before its conversion some years ago. The main reception room opens onto the kitchen. With a quirky tiled floor where one can spot the occasional ceramic lizard depicted in the tiles, the floor adds a jolly note to an otherwise timelessly elegant room. The kitchen is simple and tasteful. Natural woods and materials have been chosen in keeping with the period of the property and the room is harmonious and gentle on the eye. With plenty of space for entertaining around a large table, one can choose whether to receive dinner guests in the main reception room or the kitchen. A small handcrafted flight of wooden steps leads to an inner hallway with an arched entrance (a quirky almost Moresque detail) which leads to the only cloakroom/WC in the property, besides which sits the bathroom with its incredible views onto the farmer’s field. With a window frame worthy of a main reception room it is possible to shower with views to the field beyond. When the large rectangular window is pulled back, there is an impression of « showering outdoors ». With an elegantly curved wash basin and a walk-in shower this is a fantastic space. There are two bedrooms on the same level as the bathroom. One overlooks the field behind (with the same view as the bathroom). The second bedroom overlooks the front of the property and the barn opposite (with its first floor loft/ entertaining space). The second bedroom benefits from a dressing-room. From the internal hallway a flight of wooden stairs leads up to the third bedroom beneath the eaves. This bedroom shares the same family bathroom as the first two bedrooms. This property is blessed with numerous outbuildings, all of which have been restored and lend much charm to the property. The pool was christened for the first time this summer and blends perfectly into the garden resembling a water feature more than a traditional pool. The current owners explained to us how it was important for them to blend the pool into the landscape without perturbing their bucolic surroundings.

Tucked away in a tranquil corner of Lectoure, with a large garden and pool, this property is within walking (or cycling) distance of the high street, with its many eclectic shops, restaurants and antique stores for which the town is now so well known. The property is in a quiet location, surrounded by its own parkland, although it should be noted that being situated on the outskirts of Lectoure some buildings of the industrial kind (quiet and obtrusive) can be discerned over the tree-tops. The view is predominantly of the garden itself and there are some impressive trees; including a majestic willow tree that graces the lawns. The property is clearly a product of the mid-century and as such is spacious and solid. The perfect home for a large family. The property is built on 2 levels : one on the garden and pool level. The other with access to a fabulous elevated terrasse.

In the heart of a sleepy village, on a shaded central square this stone house has a pleasing façade, with its sweet garden, neat stone wall and gate. The garden to the front of the main house is just the right size for a table and chairs, a terrace, a small lawn, some shrubs and flowers, and a jaunty tree! There is a small shed providing space for a few essential garden tools with all the extra storage space one could wish for in the large stone barn across the lane. The main house The front door opens directly onto a large reception room / kitchen which has been renovated in recent years. A black framed glass partition separates the entrance hall and the kitchen, and lends a contemporary Parisian « atelier » ambiance to the room. The white stone floor is stylish and marries well with the anthracite grey kitchen units and plum coloured rear wall. The kitchen is open-plan with the main reception-room, which has conserved its original central fireplace with stone pillars and ancient brick chimney breast. The fireplace has been fitted with a black wood-burning stove. The exposed stone walls and travertine stone floors ensure the room remains fresh, light and contemporary. The downstairs shower room, cloakroom and laundry room are accessible from the main reception-room via an internal hallway. We particularly like the old carved oak doors which have been recuperated and open onto the laundry room. A steep contemporary ladder-style staircase leads to the third bedroom which forms a mezzanine area above the rear hallway. Upstairs there is fantastic head height (there is a very tall armoire), place for a large double bed, and a small desk that sits in-front of a small window. The original wooden staircase to the first floor runs from the central reception room. Upstairs there are two vast double bedrooms, and a large bathroom with a shower with a separate toilet on this level. The bedrooms are generous in size and when the windows are wide open the rooms bathed with light and pretty views of the square. The Adjacent Barn This lovely old barn is several hundred years old and built from the finest stone. It sits a stones throw from the main house on the same village square. Currently used for storage the barn has two floors. Both the ground floor and the first floor have considerable head height. This building could (with appropriate planning permission) potentially be a second habitable space of considerable size. The agency has not yet made inquiries as to the viability of this project. As it stands, the barn is used for storage alone. There is a good sized strip of lawn to the front of the barn. To whom will this property appeal? This property is ideal as a holiday home, or for a couple or small family looking for an easy to maintain property in Gascony, with just enough garden space to enjoy the picturesque village location (utterly quiet and quaint!) without having to wrestle with an enormous amount of land. Please be aware that … The stairs to the 3rd rear bedroom are steep (ladder-style)and unsuitable for anyone with mobility issues. There are no shops or restaurants of any kind. Lectoure and Condom are a short drive from the property. A car is required for shopping. There are no public transportation links from the villlage.
