luxury listed houses for sale Midi Pyrénées, France

Between Bordeaux and Toulouse, just 10 minutes from a charming Gers town, there is a listed medieval tower, restored, along with its dwelling. A small winding road through the fields leads to a hamlet of just a few souls. The medieval tower of the property, which stands out from the landscape, is located at the entrance of the group of houses, away from view with no neighboring properties. The plot, where the two buildings face each other, overlooks cultivated land where the colors change with the seasons. Protected by a stone wall, reminiscent of the old fortified enclosure, and a tall porch adorned with a wrought iron gate, the dwelling is shielded from prying eyes. Along the enclosure, a grassy and shaded area allows for vehicle parking. The tower, built on a nearly square plan, overlooks a park planted with trees, which is closed off by a small gate on the left side of the main entrance. Perpendicular to the enclosing wall, the stone dwelling is built on a rectangular plan. It is elevated over two levels under a final floor that features a sloping ceiling, covered with a tiled roof, highlighted by three rows of eaves. A large awning is leaned against the south side. Accessible from the garden via a porch that leads down a few steps to the space below, an imposing wooden gate communicates with a passageway at the back of the house. The landscaped garden, which stretches in front of the house and connects to the tower, is planted with various species, a covered well and low walls provide separation from the lower part of the land.This description has been automatically translated from French.

A 12th-century chateau with ramparts and 15 hectares of grounds, listed as a historical monument and looking down over a valley by the Pyrenees mountains. From a bird’s-eye view, the chateau seems to be perched atop a wooded hill like a sentry looking out across the undulating landscape of France’s Couserans province. Around the chateau, there is a patchwork of gently sloping meadows, woods and fields that lines the serrated horizon of the Pyrenees mountains. Your gaze, first struck by the relief of the land, is eventually drawn to the oval form of the chateau’s enclosing wall that encircles a plain mass of barrel-tiled roofs and pale stone elevations. All aspects of this chateau give the impression of a calm, dense, unshakeable unit. As you leave the local village to approach the chateau, the modern world fades away. The road becomes a country lane and later becomes a shady track. The driveway to the chateau is flanked with oaks and beeches and edged with stone bollards crowned with orbs and linked with a chain. This driveway seems like a formal route, rigorously plotted and solemnly discreet. There is no showy gate here, but just the murmur of the wind, sunrays filtered through leaves and a rare feeling of slowly ascending to a dwelling inhabited by something other than everyday life. At last, the chateau’s facade comes into view between the trees. Plain yet welcoming, the chateau adjoins its rampart like a hand fitting into a glove. A door in an arch that cuts through the full thickness of the enclosing wall marks the entrance. Beyond this archway, you find yourself in an inner court, some of which is grassy. Here you can see different tokens of the chateau’s past: a well dug into the rock, the Romantic ruins of outhouses waiting to be brought back to life, a square tower, adjoining annexes and successive recesses of architecture that has adapted over time without ever betraying its origin. The chateau was built in the 12th century. In the 17th century, it was turned into a summer holiday home. Today it is listed as a historical monument. The chateau has kept its structural coherence and residential design.
