Set in 28 hectares of woodland and 2 hectares of parkland, this Sublime Gascogne has been renovated to a very high standard by a number of renowned local craftsmen. The imposing wrought-iron gate opens onto a magnificent tree-lined driveway that leads up to the property and reveals a splendid park adorned with numerous species of trees. The white stone facades reflect the sun, the swimming pool beckons temptation, and the surrounding forest offers coolness and protection. It was planted with cedars, oaks and pines several decades ago, and invites you to take long walks along the winding paths. The house opens onto a beautiful entrance hall which leads to the living room on the left and the dining room on the right. Both have stone fireplaces, travertine floors and discreet ceiling mouldings. The hallway ends in the huge cathedral-ceilinged kitchen, which has a cosy seating area and a large French window opening onto the sun terrace. There is also a snug room, a fully-equipped utility room, a guest toilet, a boiler room and 2 heated workshops on the ground floor. The first floor features oak floors, 2 sumptuous bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms and fire surrounds replicating the ground floor's fireplaces, a large mezzanine above the kitchen used as a study and sewing room, a 3rd bedroom with its shower room, and finally a suite, also with outside access, housing a lounge, bedroom and shower room. The same beautiful staircase leads to the 3rd floor where there is an office and a large storage space and the attic. All the materials used in the renovation are noble and top-of-the-range: brass for the hinges, handles and locks, oak for the woodwork, granite, wrought iron for the banisters and railings, and stone. The two large barns adjoining the house, which have been re-roofed and re-timbered, have thick reinforced concrete floors for parking large machines, and the workshops have resin floors. There is a 3rd adjoining outbuilding which has preserved its old timbers and wine presses. Two dovecotes lining the vegetable garden have been rebuilt and used to store gardening tools. There is also an outbuilding for storing firewood, a pleasant poolhouse, a tractor barn with a workshop (with potential for development), a car wash area, 2 wells and a pond, and a walnut tree plantation. The central heating is oil-fired with beautiful cast-iron radiators and a new boiler, and the house has 4 wood-burning stoves with free wood ! The insulation, double-glazed windows and oak shutters were replaced 7 years ago, as were the plumbing, electrics and bathroom fittings. Only the stone walls, the roof and the magnificent stone floor in the entrance hall have been preserved. This property is a real gem in a relaxing green setting. Fees to be paid by the seller. Energy class D, Climate class D Estimated average amount of annual energy expenditure for standard use, based on the year's energy prices 2021: between 4600.00 and 6280.00 €.

A delightful townhouse with a walled garden just steps away from the bustling high street, yet preserving a quiet elegance and gentle tranquility with a beautiful private garden This property has been completely renovated; the roof, electricity, plumbing, heating system, bathrooms and kitchens have all been entirely replaced during the renovations. The property is ready to move into immediately and is designed tastefully in neutral tones. The property is light and elegant with a pleasant mix of contemporary and period features. This property has the added advantage of having an additional studio with kitchen, shower room and reception area. This studio appartment can be linked to the main house or used as a separate dwelling for guests and has its own separate entrance in the street behind the house. The Garden The enclosed garden provides the perfect amount of outdoor space whilst being the perfect size for easy maintenance. There are a number of mature trees, including palm trees there are both sunny and shaded spots for those hot summer months A stone path leads from the garden up a couple of steps to a spacious wooden terrace and to the door to the main house. We enter the main house from the garden, the walk through the small and newt garden heightening our sense of “leaving the world behind” and yet being just a stone’s throw away from the bakery, local cafés and restaurants. The Ground Floor This spacious reception room comprises a living-area and large open plan kitchen. The large windows overlooking the garden flood the room with sunlight. There is a wood-burning stove for cozy winter nights in-front of a movie. It should be noted that as an extension to the ground floor of the main house we can also access (via a connecting door) the ground floor of the separate studio apartment, thus entering a second reception area with a kitchen. The studio has undergone the same tasteful renovations as the main house. Back to the Main house & The First Floor The staircase is a remarkable feature in itself as it is flooded with daylight from the huge skylight in the high ceiling above; a real bonus on a rainy day and a juxtaposition of light and shadow on a sunny day depending on the hour. This part of the property adds a delightful contemporary note to the home and ensures a sensory light-filled experience every time you ascend to the first floor. From the landing, we can see that the first floor has been expertly divided into two large and luxurious suites. On our right is the first suite; a sunny, spacious bedroom with three gorgeous windows and wooden floors, a large walk-in closet, separate WC and a beautiful shower room. On the other side of the landing is the second suite, almost as spacious in size. This comprises a large shower room, WC, a double bedroom with two windows, ornamental fireplace, and an alcove/dressing area which is equipped with a water connection should this be required in the future Second Floor There are two good-sized rooms on the second floor, and although this section of the property is under the eaves, there is more than enough space for a bedroom and a large study. The vast skylight on the landing, as well as the smaller ones on both sides, are all original features and were newly fitted when the roof was replaced. The Cave Not all town houses in the Gascony have basements, but this one is an exception. It is accessed by a small door below the living room, and provides enough space to store wood and other items, and to keep the hot water heater in a safe and dry place. It is an ideal spot for a secret store of wine. The Garage This is a real plus for a town house, and although only spacious enough to park a small car, it is the perfect space to keep your bicycles and gardening equipment. It has been well renovated, in keeping with the entire property, and has a separate workshop area. A door leads to the first-floor studio with balcony. Our thoughts at Bliss Here at this property, you would be forgiven for feeling you are in a rural secluded cottage but with one immense advantage – the garden doors open onto a vibrant town from which you can visit its eclectic shops and excellent restaurants, as well as benefiting from all the amenities a town offers, such as doctors, a cinema (with original version screenings), theatre, concerts, and more.

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.

Romanticists, aspiring Gothic heroes & heroines apply within…. Overview If your heart is stirred by visions of a Chateau with ochre-coloured walls in the setting sun; of high ceilings, and period charm without the need for perfection; or if you are someone for whom beauty outweighs all sense of the practical… then “read” on Macduff: this paragraph could be the first stepping-stone on the road to a great adventure. This is a property for those who are grand of heart, for souls imbued with a touch of gentle folly and for whom the reward is something quite beautiful: A cinematic backdrop, a theatrical pastiche of every castle-based movie you have ever viewed; a home of character with all the grandeur of the Italian Renaissance. The entrance & gardens The arrival to any Chateau must by necessity be somewhat majestic and here the avenue does not disappoint, being suitably mysterious with vegetation high on each side. The long stone driveway opens out onto a forecourt with a circular driveway which circles around a central island of Cyprus trees. The chateau rises before us, amber and gold in the sunlight, its flaking façade perfect in its imperfection. Its windows are guarded by tall French Grey shutters, its central doorway is grand and majestic in its welcome. The property rises high above a stone terrace and decorative fishpond. The façade to the North reveals a series of stone arcades, open to the elements. To each side of the Chateau there are woods and gardens, with hundred-year-old trees, all of which lend a sense of mystery to the lieu. To the front of the property there is a stone fishpond beyond which is a flight of stone steps up to the terrace and the grand front door. The stone barn to the right of the Château is the perfect backdrop to the grand hydrangea bushes which have grown tall in its shade. The barn to the rear is partially inaccessible and now more or less in a ruined state. Once a stable block, this building might yet be salvaged. A second outbuilding to the front of the driveway is in a similar condition. Sitting to the right of the main terrace, in a recess beyond, is a stone building or orangery, with a sink and an array of pots, to harbour the lemon and orange trees over winter. The Entrance The grand front door opens onto a majestic hallway, from which a turning wooden staircase rises to the first floor, with a sweep of wrought iron balcony, and walls which look as if one has fallen headfirst into the pages of an Italian Gothic novel. The walls are remarkable, in the pastiche of a pastiche setting sun, their gentle ochre and yellow tones catching the sunlight from the west in a theatrical manner. The kitchen & Pantry area To the right of the entrance hall door, there is a large double kitchen, with a fireplace and windows over the front forecourt and to the gardens at the side of the property. The ceilings are high, and the room spacious enough to incorporate a large dining room table, and a rear section with a sink, for food preparation. Beyond the kitchen is a small vestibule, which serves as a pantry, and an inner corridor with a large cupboard, which houses the washing machine and dryer, and overlooking the gardens to the rear, a room currently used as a study, and a downstairs 1930’s style bathroom. The Drawing Room From the main entrance hall, it is pleasing to access the grand drawing room via the original eighteenth century doors. The drawing room offers a view onto the rear garden via a set of characterful French windows that open onto the rear terrace. The room has a central fireplace which is not currently in use and as in many of the rooms here at the Chateau, we invite guests to look upwards at the ornate ceilings. The drawing room opens internally onto two other rooms, one on each side. Firstly, a grand dining room, conveniently placed between the drawing room, and (via the internal hallway) back to the rear pantry and kitchen. The second room is smaller in size and used as a snug, or living room, where the family gather to watch television or play games. From the door of the snug, we return to the main hallway, passing a doorway with steps leading down to the cellar below. Central Turning Staircase The staircase in the central hallway is a delight, and climbing to the first floor, we experience its generous proportions, and the majestic tall ceilings which lead the eye upwards to the first-floor landing. The first floor The first floor has all the elegance one would expect, with tall windows to the front forecourt of the property. A half landing, with a secret door leads up a tiny internal staircase to one of the ante chambers above, serving no logical purpose other than to evacuate servants (or lovers?) from the bedroom in haste. A delight for amateurs of Hide and Seek, whatever one’s age. The bedrooms On the first floor via a second internal hallway, there are four double bedrooms and at each end of the property a vestibule or oval room and a family bathroom at each end of the property (or a total of two bathroom on the first floor and one on the ground floor). The second-floor vestibules, which are oval, might well be used as antechambers, dressing rooms, or children’s bedroom. Each of the rooms is similar in style and period feature: tall ceilings, lovely wooden floors, fireplaces and views over the parkland. A doorway opens onto a second stairway, in brut form and far less grandiose than the first, leading to the impressive attic space above. This huge space has at one end the tremendous open archways. At the opposite end these have been bricked in but beg to be opened. The Attic The space sets the imagination on fire. Whatever architectural plans are born here, they must of course be validated by the local planning authorities that be, but this is a space which in sheer volume at least (with the romantic idea of an arched view over the gardens at one end, if not two ends of the property) offers endless possibilities. Technical Talk Total habitable surface area: approximately 368m2 4 bedrooms 2 ante chambers (or children’s bedrooms) 3 family bathrooms (2 on the first floor one on the ground floor) Grand drawing room Dining room Snug/television room Spacious kitchen and rear kitchen Study Immense third floor attic space Outside: Orangery Various outbuildings requiring restoration Parkland of over three hectares with mature trees Plot size: 37690m2 Property Tax: 2285 Septic tank Mains water 2 water wells Double Glazing: No (original wooden windows).

This is not a modest property by any stretch of the imagination. It has a grandeur which requires a generous budget and a grain of delightful folly. Beyond the purchase price, unless one is content to live here throughout the warmer months of the year, there will be by necessity the need to be some thought and finances given to insulating the property to minimize running costs. The top floor, whether it obtains planning permissions in the future or not, whatever the project might be, is currently open to the elements at one end (via a series of Romanic “in the summer” archways) and not currently insulated either on the floor or the ceiling. The property was decorated some years ago by an interior designer and the walls are in their own delightful way a work of Art, which add much charm to the building. If the style and colours please, then there is nothing that needs doing other than choosing furniture for each room. The windows however require some attention. The lovely old window frames are single glazed, and the choice here will be one of heart or head. But if the current window frames are to be kept some repair work will be necessary. The bathrooms have a period charm but are completely unmodernized (one of these has a quaint 1930 air to it), and the decision to change these or not will be one of aesthetics. All this said, the property will appeal to anyone who loves the architecture of an old French Chateau. This is the perfect home for a large family or a business project. This is a house to fill with family, friends and furniture. The elegant rooms beg to be decorated and the tall ceilings offer a fantastic opportunity to hang great chandeliers, or pieces of Art on the walls. The home of a Collector, an Artist, a Designer? A small bijou hotel… the possibilities are endless. This will be a property which will tug on the heart strings of many, for it is so easy to imagine the Chateau illuminated in the evening, the backdrop to any number of wonderful soirées. A property which requires full evening dress, full glasses, a full imagination, and a not immodest purse. But oh! ……Quelle Joie!!! A Little Bit of Fun Recommended Books to take on the trip: Enchanted April - Elizabeth Von Arnim (try the 1993 movie if not the book) Recommended movies : Under the Tuscan Sun (2003) or A Good Year ( 2006) Recommended drinks: The very best pink champagne to reflect the golden pink and amber tones of these lovely old walls.

In a word, this property is all about the VIEWS. Built in a raised position and dominating the landscape, this imposing country home is positioned to admire the sweep of fields and woodland. The mellow stone walls embrace the sunsets and as is clear from the photographs that illustrate this advert, provide an ever-changing tableau of colour. The skies up here are vast. The owner shares a collection of photographs from over the years. Each one depicts a different and dramatic sunset, the colours never quite the same, all with vibrant flashes of pink, oranges, purple and red. There is a wild timelessness about this view, as it stretches far into the distance without the interruption or another house or building. Sitting on the gravel terrace and looking down at the sweep of the valley, there is a sensation of being on the rim of the world. The beloved country estate of the same family for many years, the property was a retreat to which the owner could invite friends from Paris, principally to party, and in later years to live full-time. This property was the dream of one man, who like the Great Gatsby, developed his home around his own desire for comfort, space, luxury and amusement. The rooms are vast. If you like to spread out, there isn’t a risk of ever feeling cramped here. There are some quirky remnants, the vestiges of another world. This is possibly the only property you will ever find with two 1970s bathtubs in one bathroom, positioned to view a TV screen, and with place for the bottle of Champagne. The property does not take itself too seriously, except in the serious business of space and fun. The walls are full of pictures of parties held there, and interesting people who came to feast and dance. As with all properties that are firmly rooted in another time, and place, it is fixed in time, and with regards to the bathrooms, and carpets, new owners will need to rip away the décor of the 1970s, the personality of the previous owners, and expose the bare bones of the property.The bones are good. The rooms are vast, and the property designed around a central courtyard and a long internal gallery. Some of the rooms have a more traditional feel than others, with fine terracotta floor tiles, and stone walls. Other rooms will most likely want to shed their carpets and cladding. There is a mix of styles; traditional Gascon manor house, Spanish villa, or perhaps in parts something slightly Moresque about the woodwork and the detail of the fret work. A second much older cottage sits at the entrance of the property, far removed from the main house, and provides perfect guest accommodation, or home for a guardian. Let’s begin our tour with a look at the main house The formal entrance to the property opens onto a large gallery hallway which in turn opens onto a central courtyard. The family prefer to use the kitchen entrance daily. The Kitchen The kitchen is the heart of the house, divided into three separate zones, this large and spacious room has a breakfast table, a formal dining area, and has a cosy workspace at the far end with an oven range and ceramic tiles. If you were to ask which part of the house is the most traditional, then without a doubt it is the kitchen. With thick oak beams running across the ceiling, a decorative stone sink, and a choice of traditional fixtures and fittings, this is a Gascon kitchen worthy of any French country home. Currently filled with a lifetime of bits and pieces, there is nothing minimalistic about this room, by any stretch of the imagination, and yet it still manages to feel spacious. The kitchen opens in turn both onto the internal hallway to the formal entrance and to the central reception room. This vast living space, with its fireplace, has views to the gardens through tall French windows along the full length of the room. This is a tremendous space in which to party or sit by the fire in a smaller committee. It is a family living space, incorporating an occasional study desk, and various sitting areas. In summer the windows are thrown open to the terrace, and to the fabulous view towards the vast stretch of horizon and the woodland beyond. Besides the main reception room, there is a second study or library, which in turns opens out to a downstairs bedroom and bathroom. The master suite encompasses a huge amount of surface area, with the infamous bathroom, which is spacious enough to dance in, not to mention its two bathtubs… The master bedroom is equally generous in size. Future occupants to the property might wish to rethink how the rooms are used. There is certainly more than enough space to play around with. The master bathroom could perhaps become a bedroom with an ensuite. It is certainly spacious enough. The property was designed so that the sleeping accommodation is almost entirely reserved for Monsieur and Madame, with guests retiring to the cottage at the bottom of the garden. All rooms are on the ground floor. There are no stairs; each room flowing to the next in circular fashion around a central terrace, like a Riyad. There is a guest cloak room behind a decorative wooden door in the main hallway. The Guest Accommodation At the entrance to the cottage, there is a large guest cottage, with a kitchen, living room, three bedrooms and two bathrooms. This cottage was once the original building on the plot and is rustic in style with much smaller rooms, steps and stairs between levels and a quirky layout. The Pool There is a swimming pool and an outbuilding for storage next to the pool, with a covered terrace for summer dining. The pool has not been used recently and will need to be filled again and put back into service. There are lovely views from the pool and it sits at a good distance from the main house.

In addition, planning permission has been granted for an extension of 80m² to the smaller villa (foundations already in place), creating yet more accommodation. Set in an estate of 34 hectares, the land and several of the outbuildings would be suitable for transforming into stables for horses and other farm animals - and the south-facing slopes are ideal for growing flowers, for market gardening projects and even a vineyard! Situated in the heart of the Gers countryside, this lovely estate is not far from ski resorts in the Pyrénées (70 - 90 minutes) and surfing and family beaches on the Atlantic coast (130 minutes).

Upmarket leisure activity holidays are becoming more and more popular with holidaymakers, especially yoga and wellness and spa retreats, painting and photography workshops, cookery and wine-tasting courses… The main open-plan room in the larger villa would be ideal to use as a yoga/dance/theatre studio - or it could be transformed into a beautiful tearoom, a country pub or a restaurant, offering diners the possibility of staying overnight or for a luxurious weekend break... You could also generate year-round business from pilgrims walking the Chemin-de-St-Jacques-de-Compostelle and from horse-riders following the Route d'Artagnan, which both pass about 5km away from the estate.
