luxury houses for sale International

We first discover this authentic Gascon property on a scorching hot summer’s day. Nestling in a small hamlet surrounded by a large plot of land to the front, rear and side the house has retained many of its original features. The property is sold with the walls of an old stone barn, which has sadly lost its roof. The barn is ripe for conversion (with planning permission) and provides a natural and impressive stone division between this property and its neighbour; lending one the sense of total privacy whilst sitting in a friendly, non-isolated position. We enter the property down a long driveway which runs alongside the barn. To the front of the property there is a generous plot of land and trees which screen the house from the quiet rural lane on which it sits. We enter the property via the original front door and find ourselves in a wide and spacious hallway with original terracotta floor tiles, smoothed by the patina of the years. The far end the hallway opens onto a rear terrasse where a luncheon table is dressed in the shade beneath a covered trellis area. Beyond here one can just about see the pool and pool house at the far end of the garden. FOR MORE INFORMATION AND PHOTOS HEAD TO BLISSIMMO.COM

OVERVIEW At the end of a long lane, surrounded by well-tended lawns, we find a very pretty stone house that has been extensively renovated to highlight its many original features. The particular charm of the property lies in the exposed stone and brick that really make it stand out from other houses in this price range. It is located in a quiet hamlet that is set apart from other properties in the area; there are only two neighbours. GROUND FLOOR The spacious entry hall is a delight and sets the tone for the whole house. It features exposed stone and brick walls as well as beams. On the left of the entrance hall is a large open living room with a wonderful fireplace and original stone sink. Here again exposed brick and stone predominate, and this room is filled with light. On one side we find doors which open to the covered terrace, and this room opens out into an equally spacious dining room. On the right of the entrance hall, we find a lovely ground floor bedroom which has a beautiful fireplace. Here there is also a modern en suite shower room. Behind the bedroom we come to the kitchen, which has also been recently renovated. It is a very attractive space, with lovely dark gray units and a pretty tiled floor. A small laundry room off the kitchen doubles as a boiler room and also hosts a WC. And that is not all, as there is also a second large back hall that is currently used as a bar by the present owners, but could make a lovely library or study. There is underfloor heating everywhere on the ground floor. FIRST FLOOR Exposed stone and brick continue to be the theme here as we find ourselves in a hallway with exposed stone walls and a skylight. There are three good sized bedrooms on this floor and a large family bathroom that you could renovate if desired. There is also an approximately 60 m² mezzanine which opens up onto the living room downstairs. This space is just beautiful and would make a fabulous playroom or a lovely large library and study. GROUNDS A large covered porch runs the length of the house on one side, and this makes a perfect area where you can still enjoy the outside on cooler days or when it rains. The garden is laid to grass and does have some lovely mature trees in it. However, it is an area where you could plant extensive flower beds and fruit trees to really take advantage of the outside space. There is a pretty little stone barn that is currently used to store garden tools but with renovation could be quite lovely. OUR THOUGHTS AT BLISS This is a very attractive property which has been renovated to highlight the beautiful original materials used in its construction. is on the market at a very reasonable price. It has only two neighbours, so you can be private but not isolated. If you want to be totally isolated in the country this is not the property for you, but if you like the calm of the countryside combined with the security of having a neighbour or two to keep an eye on the property when you are away, this home is ideal. We loved the location - between a small village and the proximity to Agen with all its amenities and train station. And we also loved the fact that all the hard work has already been done!

LOCATION In the heart of the Ténarèze, in the north of the Gers department, well known for its Armagnac, the oldest eau de vie. It's also the land of the cadets of Gascony, the most famous of whom is undoubtedly d'Artagnan. Within easy reach of the cities and airports of Bordeaux and Toulouse (1 hour 45 minutes), and less than an hour from Agen and its TGV station. Everywhere you look you'll find villages full of character, some of them listed as among the most beautiful villages in France. A small path shaded by old oak trees leads to the property. Immediately on the right, past a huge hundred-year-old oak that seems to guard the grounds, the estate and its majestic tower come into view. PRESENTATION I, Chevalier Jean de Gascogne, invite you, citizens of the modern world, to follow me to the land of my ancestors. Here we are on my almost 35 hectares of land made up of vines, coppice, moorland and meadows. My ancestors decided to settle here, very close to a small ancient and medieval town that had to be defended. So, in the 15th century, they built this architectural gem! A rectangular, three-storey building made entirely of stone, wood and cob, it is a rare and perfect example of what is known as a Gascon fortified room. Some would call it a watchtower, because its dominant position allowed it to observe and protect the pretty village that was to become the first Gascon bastide. The tower is crowned with hoardings, a corbelled construction that allowed all kinds of objects or liquids to be thrown at potential attackers from above. In the early 16th century, openings were made to let in more light. Rest assured, my tower, although defensive, offers breathtaking panoramic views from several points! 360° views over the surrounding countryside! Windows onto the rolling hills of my native Gers, which so many people love to immortalise on postcards, or to be even more modern, what our young ladies and gents might call ‘Instagrammable’ landscapes. My tower certainly suffered during the Wars of Religion when Montgomery's troops passed through, as they did throughout the region. The two wells on the property and the silos filled with grain on the ground floor, in what was the guard room, enabled my ancestors to hold out during the sieges. I myself worked hard, with the help of one of my friends, to save my tower. The restoration of the roof and the corbelling in 2006 earned us a Heritage Award for its preservation. The years have gone by, and we're now in the 21st century, with its overcrowding and concrete, where space is becoming a luxury because it's almost impossible to find. On my land: space, light, blonde stones that reflect the sun like nowhere else! There's no noise or visual pollution, just the chirping of crickets, birds and the occasional frog in the little pond, offering their courtship to anyone who enjoys observing nature. THE 15TH-CENTURY TOWER The south door opens onto a room that was once the guards' quarters. The first floor, with its mullioned windows, was reserved for the nobility. A beautiful monumental fireplace where more than one boar and poulard must have roasted! On the ground floor, we can still make out the grain silo openings. A dividing wall separates this entrance from another room, which houses the staircase to the first floor. A beautiful south-facing arched double door brings a great deal of light into this space. We can also make out an old opening to the north, now closed off but easily reused. The first floor features the same layout as the ground floor, as well as a second large stone fireplace whose lintel has been restored. On the second and final level, we find the place where the town's protectors kept watch for any attackers. It's an incredible vantage point, with a breathtaking view! The framework and roof have been completely redone, under the supervision of a heritage architect, for which we won a prize awarded by the Société Arquéologique du Gers. This is also the largest level, thanks to the corbelling, which rests on the original stone corbels, as can be seen from the outside. THE EIGHTEENTH-CENTURY HOUSE Next to the tower is a single-storey house dating from the 18th century. The year of construction, 1768, is still engraved in stone above the door. This building, as the saying goes, is ‘in its original state’, which will allow the future lord of the manor to put his personal stamp on it without having to demolish an unfortunate restoration. It too has retained its fireplace and beautiful beams. But yes, I admit it, the person to whom I pass on the torch will have to love stone and history, but also major works! And at the end of all this effort: what a reward! SOME TECHNICAL NOTES The house to be restored measures 117.13 M2 including the attached garage. The three-storey tower measures 261.67 M2 The hangar measures 148 M2 Septic tank to be reviewed Two wells A pond Of the almost 35 hectares surrounding the estate, just over 2 hectares are planted with organic vines.

Romantic Château in search of loving owner to restore to former glory. Dear House Hunter, I am a beautiful and sizeable stone property. Some call me a château, but I resemble many things, from an elegant chartreuse, or manor house. My foundations are embedded in the 15th century, but over the years I have grown to resemble what you will most easily recognize as a sumptuous 18th century home, with high ceilings, tall window frames and many period features, from parquet and terra-cotta stone floors to my grand salon, which begs to host a ball should you so wish. Netherfield Park, or the Château de Courcelles have nothing on me! Currently slumbering in woodland, with English-style gardens planted to the front some thirty years ago, the first thing you will see on arrival, beyond my stoned and walled entrance, is a romantic summer garden, bursting with life. To the rear there are both raised lawns with walled gardens, and below a riot of woodland, a haven for birds and bees. On arrival and from the outside, I look somewhat more modest in size than I am. People say I resemble the kind of house publishers choose to put on the front cover of novels; stories in which there is usually a love affair and a mystery to unravel; but which could not have happened without the beautiful property itself. The house is always a central character; an elegant backdrop to life itself, where history can be made and new memories carved. To move here is to take on not just a project, but a lifestyle. A piece of history. As a château, I am proud of my brilliant Basque red front door, which strikes a colourful and elegant note on my impressive façade. With symmetrical windows, I am imposing. I have inspired many artists and photographers, being, if I do say so myself, rather an attractive building. I may have faded over the years, but it is easy to imagine that not so long ago my hallways bustled with ten full-time members of staff, who wore black uniforms with little white aprons, buffing and polishing my wooden floors and shining my lovely terra-cotta tiles on the ground floor. The kitchens were filled with bubbling pans; cooks bustling around to create sumptuous Gascon meals with all the fine local produce. The rear kitchen is the perfect place to prep vegetables or wash the pots. Throughout, my tall windows, which still retain their original glass, were brilliantly polished, sunlight flooding into the house from every angle. This is a property for a large family, a lover of history, or someone with a project, perhaps to create a small bijou guest house, or private hotel. Slumbering is all well and good, but like the proverbial phoenix, I’m reaching out across the mysterious and magical channels of the internet, to find the perfect owner who will undertake this restoration project. Although it is unseemly in my generation to talk of anything so mundane as one’s purse, I will say, that unless you are prepared to live somewhat rustically, just for the pleasure of spending time with me, I estimate a budget of 500 000 euros and upwards, perhaps a million, with which to restore my beautiful old bones. The sky is the limit but so is my potential. At a certain age, no-one likes to talk of their inner rumblings, creaks and all the little things that need to be fixed, but I must confess, my plasterwork has cracked and bobbled on the ground floor, some of my floor tiles are a little wobbly underfoot; my bathrooms meagre and more becoming of an earlier age. It would be lovely if my walls could be smoothed out again, and my creases ironed away. I feel I would do very well with some lovely chalk paint and colours. My insulation and heating need a little attention in order to provide some modern comforts for these old but rather lovely bones. For overnight guests, it would be nice to find a lavatory or two in addition to the two which are currently housed at the end of the ground floor and first floor hallways. I have a grand salon, where you could host a ball, as I mentioned. I also have a cosy living-room for family movie evenings. I have a big farmhouse style kitchen with a range, as well as a large utility room which has seen better days but is such a useful space. There is a hidden door in my dining-room, in the wooden panelled walls (one would expect nothing less in such an intriguing house!) where staff would organise serving dishes, during elegant family meals, when a host of guests would come to dine. There is even a family chapel, which has seen weddings and Christenings, although is quite empty now. When it’s time to sleep, there are five very large bedrooms on the first floor all with a sink and shower. The sixth bedroom which has fallen into disrepair, shares a bathroom with the master suite and could also be transformed into a dressing-room – but sadly this bathroom is currently out of order. For those who have a head for dizzying heights, a flight of stone steps runs from the grand salon up to the rooftop tower, where you can step out like a bird on a perch. Take care, this could be a fabulous place for evening drinks, but you will need to add some railings for safety. The view is fabulous, and from up here, you will appreciate the peaceful tranquility of the area: far from roads. A place where one can almost hear the trees growing; see the swallows soaring. My gardens provide a few unexpected quirks and surprises. Entry is from the ground floor level and ascends the majestic period staircase to the first floor, where there is a second grand door which opens onto a garden on the upper level of the property. This second walled garden is also accessible via both French windows in the Grand Salon. From here one can look down to the woodland below which has been left as a natural reserve. The upper walled gardens are reminiscent of the early 19th century gardens built at this time. On this level, there is a veranda and a covered terrace area for outdoor dining. I cannot deny, it will take a home seeker with heart and courage to take on this project, with so many memories of what the château used to look like, bubbling beneath the surface, if you have the drive to tackle a restoration project in this stunning and peaceful region of Southwest France, I am a Château more than worthy of your attention. This is a very special place, with a very special energy. On arrival here, the château stirs a sense of curiosity. Guests long to push open the grand front door and step inside to explore, which is just what we will do. Be my guest! Let’s look in more detail: The Ground Floor Entrance We enter the château via a brilliant red front door, where we find ourselves in a large hallway, that runs to the staircase at the far end. The central hallway is crossed by a transverse hallway at its midpoint. All the main floor rooms, and the cellar and barns are accessible via these two hallways. The floors have conserved their original terra-cotta tiles. On entering the main front door and the central hallway, a door to the left opens into the formal dining-room. The Dining-Room & Butler’s Pantry (“Garde Manger”). The room is dressed with a large formal table. There is a black marble fireplace, and the rear wall is clad with decorative wooden panelling. One of the wooden panels opens to reveal a secret doorway into a room behind, where staff would stack the plates and dishes, whilst waiting to serve the next course. The Chapel, Cosy Sitting-Room & Study Returning to the central hallway, we turn left, into the second transverse hallway. Here a door opens to an ancient family chapel, no longer in use. At the far end of the hallway, there is another door to the dining-room, and a door to the snug and cosy sitting-room, furnished with comfortable sofas and where the family gathers to watch television. This room has two big windows and a woodburning stove. Next to the sitting room there is a downstairs study room with on window and shelving. On the other side of the central hallway, along the second section of the transverse hallway, we find the domestic quarters and kitchens. The family kitchen & the Utility Room, barn & cellar These two sizeable rooms ensure there is plenty of space in the Château for food preparation. The family kitchen has space for a large breakfast table, a range-style cooker, and a sink and workspace tiled with old-fashioned Delft style blue and white tiles. With its terracotta floor tiles, and characterful large stone slab windows sills, opening onto the bucolic front gardens, the kitchen is a delightful room. There is a cosy woodburning stove in the kitchen, welcome when dining at the kitchen table on a cold winter’s night. The Utility Room Next to the kitchen accessible via the hallway and a door to the far end of the room, we find a second room, equally as spacious in size where the kitchen staff worked. With somewhat faded glory, this is nonetheless a very useful space, also with a large table and sink. The Barn & Cellar Opposite the rear kitchen there is a door to a vast downstairs barn, and a wine cellar. This room is ample enough to store a tractor, or any number of garden tools. The downstairs lavatory The WC is situated at the far end of the hallway leading to the kitchen, rear kitchen and the barn. The Outbuildings A door to the far end of the hallway opens onto the gardens, and several outbuildings requiring attention. The First Floor The original staircase turns upwards to the first floor and to a spacious landing, where there is a grand door leading to the upper gardens, covered terrasse and veranda. The Grand Salon This room is the pièce de resistance of the property. Impressive due to its size, formidable stone fireplace, and two large French windows opening onto the raised gardens, this is a gorgeous room. There is a terracotta floor, bathed in light from its vast windows and doors, and with a stone staircase to the tower, where there is a bird’s nest view of the property and the countryside for miles around. This is a room where it is truly possible to dine in style. Push back the tables and host a ball in true 18th century style. A wedding party hosted here, but with the ancient carved chairs, and central wooden table, one can imagine this room is fit for a king or queen to come to supper. It is almost baronial. A place to sleep after the ball… On the first-floor level of the property, distributed along two vast hallways clad with terra cotta stone floor tiles, there are five bedrooms each with a shower or bath, and a sink, and one bedroom which has fallen into disrepair which shares the family bathroom which is not in use and requires fixing. There is one toilet in the tower, above the ground floor toilet. The bedrooms are characterized by their size and light, their ornamental fireplaces and high ceilings. The Gardens The property has substantial gardens, both ornamental, terraced and wild, with a total of 13.5 hectares of land. The property has two terraced gardens, one at the front of the property and the second on the first-floor terrace which sweeps around a section of the house creating a very private garden area overlooking trees and distant views of the Pyrenees. There is an area below the terrace which is mown and houses the pigeonnier and an ancient fishtank. Our thoughts here at BLISS This property was clearly once a fine and sumptuous home and deserving of restoration. If you dream of an escape to the chateau in rural southwest France, this property has much to offer and a wealth of character. The building is not as imposing and overwhelming as one might imagine a chateau to be. Make no mistake, it is vast but is has the feel of a very substantial manor house, and one can easily imagine the works required to make it shine again. It is generous in size for a normal family home, though the last couple to live here in total tranquility, lived here by themselves for thirty years. You will need a very solid envelope to make this home perfect throughout. If you can live in rustic charm, and are prepared to do the works little by little, the property was lived in on a full-time basis until very recently. The location is utterly peaceful. This is a rare, and interesting find, and we are excited to share it with our buyers here at Bliss.

By providing the exact address of this property for full disclosure, the owner wishes to make it clear that such transparency is not an invitation for visits outside those organised by the agency the owner has carefully selected to work with. La Romieu A property is always more than the sum of its parts. Where the property sits is paramount. As we say across The Channel: Location, Location, Location. If you are in search of a refined town house with zero works to consider, then why not start with one that sits in the heart of a village voted « most beautiful in France » ? Why is the village of La Romieu so popular? A 15-minute drive from Lectoure (thermal centre and famous hill-top destination for tourists from all around the world) La Romieu is smaller and has preserved its authenticity. Ten minutes from Condom on the other side, Agen and Toulouse are both easily accessible for transport to Paris and the rest of the world. The Presbytery At the gateway to La Romieu, close to the cloister gardens, this impressive property, comprised of three buildings, sits discreetly behind stone walls and a wrought iron gate. The garden is neatly tended, with a flourish of roses which bloom against its walls, an immaculate lawn, a stone pool, and a covered terrasse area for drinks or outdoor dining and a smart white stone path leading directly to the main door. A second gate at the end leads to a charming stone courtyard filled with white hydrangeas, and to a separate small house. The main house – the ground floor We linger to appreciate the elegant stone façade, with its pleasing symmetry and lovely 18th century windows and to listen to the relaxing fall of water from the fountain in the pool. In the background we see the famous Collegiale of La Romieu with its tall Gothic towers piercing the azure blue sky. A door painted in deep blue, with its original knocker, opens onto an elegant hallway, which is generous in size and leads to a glorious stone staircase. To the right of the entrance, an elegant drawing-room overlooks the gardens. The room is bathed in light, with three tall windows: one to the side and two to the front. There is an original oak wood floor, and a black marble fireplace with an open grate, with fitted bespoke bookshelves to each side. At the far end of the main hallway, there is an elegant guest cloakroom, with a beautiful stone floor, a marble sink and a separate lavatory. The kitchen and open-plan sitting room are an important part of the property. The two rooms have been opened into one, with a half wall/counter between the two. This fantastic idea ensures that, as with the entire property, light floods in from all sides. This floor plan is also ideal for entertaining with the kitchen open to the dining and sitting areas. The main kitchen is kept free of clutter and presents as beautifully as any of the other reception rooms. You can certainly cook in style. The kitchen has been recently fitted, with a central island, custom made quality cabinets, Carrara marble counter tops, a Lacanche range with 5 burners and a large oven, a small table by the window for dining for two. The beautiful adjoining sitting room with a working fireplace is filled with light and decorated in delicate shades of white and blue. This is the perfect place to dine among friends or for afternoon tea, leaving the elegant drawing room for more formal entertaining. A door in the kitchen leads to an ample, downstairs cellar area and garage with space for one good-sized family car. This opens out onto the lower street. The main kitchen opens onto a second back kitchen, generous in size, with a coffee station with its own terracotta period sink, vast period-style cupboards, American-style refrigerator with icemaker and enough space for a large table. This is a gorgeous area; equally as attractive for a utility area as the main kitchen. Glass doors lead from there to the laundry room with a separate sink and second refrigerator. We particularly love the elegant doors in grey with decorative frosted glass patterns and agreed unanimously here at BLISS that the back kitchen is more attractive than the main kitchen in our own homes. This completes our tour of the ground floor of the main house. The first floor The original 18th Century stone and iron staircase ascends elegantly to the first floor where it opens out onto a generous first floor landing. All floors are made of original antique poplar planks. Study At the top of the stairs there is a small study/TV room, the perfect spot to hunker down and watch a movie. This room could also be used as an additional bedroom. The Master Bedroom, private dressing-room, WC and ensuite bathroom The master bedroom is an apartment suite unto itself, with a vast bedroom, with elegant, fitted wardrobes with period doors, and three tall windows overlooking the gardens. A small private corridor leads to a bathroom with both a double sink, bathtub and shower. The entire bathroom is beautifully adorned with Carrara marble. A private dressing room and lavatory are dissimulated behind decorative vintage doors. Guest bedroom 1, with it ensuite shower-room This room is a spacious double bedroom and benefits from its own sumptuous bathroom, which as with all the bathrooms in both the main house and guest houses, has been recently designed by the current owner. The second guest bedroom On the other side of the first floor landing, a small corridor leads to a separate wing with the second guest bedroom and its own shower-room. This is a large double bedroom, with high ceilings, parquet floor and exposed ceiling beams. The garden cottage This garden cottage is an added bonus to the spacious accommodation in the presbytery. It faces the front garden & stone pool. This lower room is currently used by the owner as a massage room and an extension of the pool and garden, with its shower room perfect after swimming. It can also be used as an additional en suite guest bedroom. The lovely iron door opens onto a view of the gardens. A staircase leads to a second bedroom with an en-suite upstairs. The Village House The village house was purchased in addition to the main house and opens both on to the main street and onto the rear courtyard garden. This is a delightful house that has been fully restored, with a private courtyard, a downstairs kitchen and living room, a staircase up to a small landing, where on the first floor there are two good sized double bedrooms both with an ensuite bathroom. The house is fully equipped with washer and dryer. The garden to the front of the property is elegant and carefully designed to incorporate a shady sitting-area and a small pool built to resemble an 18th Century “bassin” with its weathered stones. To the rear, there is a paved courtyard garden with a large table for evening meals. There are several tranquil nooks in the garden, with a burst of roses and topiary bushes against a backdrop of ancient stone. What would I do if this house were mine? I would pour myself a glass of champagne and invite all my friends, sit back and relax. There is absolutely no work to be done on the property… nothing to do except enjoy! Things we like here at Bliss… The light, the elegance, the spacious bedrooms, all air-conditioned and with their own luxurious bathroom. The house has rooms which are private and open plan, all which flow together beautifully. One can comfortably host without sacrificing privacy, thanks to the additional cottages. The fact that the property has been fully restored to its original 18th century beauty, yet all the modern creature comforts have been added. The master bedroom suite is a triumph of design and ingenuity…. as is the open plan kitchen and sitting room. This property is a testament to the good taste and clever design skills of its owner who has loving restored it over the last six years.

This elegant stone property was built in the 18th century on the vestiges of a much older building; an archbishop’s palace, dating back to the 14th century. The property, with its stone- pillared entrance, elegant parkland, 3 hectares + of gardens and lawns, in fine golden stone with its maison de maitre style architecture, offers a promise of elegance, space and light from the outset. It is safe to say, we are not disappointed. With high ceilings and a wealth of period features throughout, the property has been renovated to a high standard, with luxurious and comfortable fittings throughout to provide a comfortable home for year-round residency. The garden is filled with mature trees, and there are two natural water sources; including a pond which is filled with koi carp. The property is ideally situated within easy reach of Blagnac international airport, which is a 40 minute drive, with a local village with a boulangerie just ten minutes away. The current owners are spoilt for choice with local markets, being within easy reach of Mauvezin, Gimont and St Clar. With five luxury bedrooms, and 6 reception rooms, all beautifully appointed, this property provides a luxurious home which is inimitably and deliciously representative of GASCONY; and the traditional, spacious and tranquil homes for which the area is so well-loved with buyers from all over the world.
