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?

Sitting in six hectares of parkland, in a non-isolated location, this beautiful old property is located close to Auch, capital of the Gers, and benefits from splendid views over the valley. Its fine old stones have born witness to centuries of history and remain in excellent condition to tell its tales of time today. Located on the top of a hillside, the view is remarkable over the valleys of Gascony, reaching as far as the Pyrénées. The swimming pool is located in an ideal position from which to enjoy these views, sitting in an elevated position. The vast expanse of land lies to the front of the property with one nearby property to the rear (thus preserving the uninterrupted views to the south) The current owner has carried out a vast programme of restoration over the years, carefully preserving the original walls and the authenticity of the property’s medieval architecture, as well as preserving many original features internally. Today, though the property bears witness to major works carried out in recent years, it offers also an exciting opportunity to the next generation to lift the works to the next level in order to render it comfortable for modern living being somewhat sparse on the inside for the moment. One is easily forgiven for imagining this to be the 16th century and not the 21st internally - but this is in many aspects a blank canvas on which to design a remarkable home with spacious rooms and high ceilings Throughout the property the inside walls are exposed stone, the ground-floor tiled in more recent years. Fine examples of medieval history are preserved throughout : fireplaces, original vaulted walls and a wine cellar. With successive renovations, the owner lifted the veils of time and reveal the property’s hidden secrets, such as a magnificent Renaissance door. Who knows if further treasures await to be discovered ….

This elegant five-bedroom house close to Mirande has clearly been a much-loved home for the current owners. Flooded with natural light, it is filled with books, flowers and antiques, and radiates peace and tranquillity. Quite simply, it is a delight to be in. Perched on the edge of a lively village, it is private yet not isolated and boasts exceptional, far-reaching views of the Pyrenees. On a clear day, it is even possible to see the observation tower on the Pic du Midi. Built in the 19th century, there is a certain grandeur about this property which was probably designed for a person of high status in the local community. The grand, ornate iron gates that lead you into the garden are further testament to this. The setting As well as a beautiful swimming pool, the surrounding gardens are simply delightful. Mature trees, beautifully tended flowerbeds, a charming little pond where frogs jump in alarm as you approach. there is even a resident hedgehog who can often been seen peeking his sweet little face out of the long grass next to the vegetable patch. The house The ground floor Elegant stone steps lead up to a traditional wide front door through which we enter a large and welcoming hallway with beautiful original glazed doors to the stairs, and a tiled floor. Original folding doors open into different rooms including a ‘front to back’ living room with a working fireplace. There is a dining room with south facing views, a cloakroom/boot room with access to the garden and basement and a guest WC behind the stairs Also on this floor is a charming renovated fitted kitchen with gorgeous, tiled patterned floor. It is a large and light-filled space, with hand painted wooden units, a roomy central island with basket style storage, a large range cooker with hood. First floor The current owners have put down good quality wall-to-wall carpeting in all four of the bedrooms, but the original wide wooden floorboards are still there, protected by the carpeting. On the landing, a quiet reading area is framed by flourishing plants and French doors that open onto a tiny Juliet balcony with iron railings. The floorboards here are the original wide wooden planks. There are four bedrooms on this level, two on each side of the landing. On the left-hand side there is a pretty rose-coloured bedroom with a fireplace and shower room, and opposite another twin room with a hand basin and a shower / WC. On the right-hand side of the landing, the third bedroom has a bathroom and a fireplace. The fourth bedroom is the master suite; it also has a pretty fireplace and a big bathroom with a bath and a large window. All the fireplaces on this floor are closed, and a new owner might want to update / refresh the bathrooms. Second floor On the landing there is an alcove with a large window, and this has been set up as a children’s reading area. The rest of the second floor is divided into one good sized bedroom and a large playroom which could also serve as a sixth bedroom. It would be equally possible to make this whole floor into a private suite with a bathroom and dressing room as well as a big bedroom. Garden level At the back of the house, two steps lead down to a lower level where there is a boiler room, storage for gardening equipment plus a laundry room. There is also enough space for a workshop. Pool & gardens This property comes with a stunning pool which is set close to the house for ease of use. It is surrounded by a spacious patio and there is a second raised terrace behind it which is a lovely spot to sit and watch the children play in the pool. There are wonderful vistas of the Pyrenees everywhere in the front garden, and this area is no exception. As to the gardens, this has been a labour of love for the current owners over several years. What was once a simple lawn has been developed it into a delightful, well-established haven of plants, shrubs and trees with different places to sit and find shade and sun. While the front garden offers a variety of flowerbeds, flowering bushes and attractive spots to sit and read a book, the back garden is more practical. Here, beside the many mature trees, there is a flourishing vegetable patch, a glass greenhouse and a pond. The basement of the house is also accessible from the back of the house, so all the practical activities can take place here. Outbuildings A large barn is located on one side of the house and offers lots of room for several cars, a workshop and wood storage. There is also a full upper level that has not been exploited. Here at Bliss We found this house delightful on so many levels; the charm of original features, the stunning views southwards to the Pyrenees, the lovely English flowerbeds, the pretty fishpond nestling behind some trees next to the vegetable garden. It is a property that would suit a family for a permanent home but would also make an ideal holiday home. As with most houses, there are elements that could be improved upon but when you are on the property, whether it be in the house or anywhere in the gardens, you feel as if you are in your own private world.
