This luxurious four-bedroom property is located in the heart of the pretty Gascon village of Lavardens and has been renovated to an extremely high standard. Every detail has been carefully considered in this sumptuous restoration project. This superb property is set against a quintessentially Gascon backdrop. The village could not be any more attractive with its château, picturesque central avenue and glorious village properties, each one worthy of a photo or painting. The current owners have used high quality materials throughout to create a stunning, modern home whilst preserving its original character. Columbage walls painted in light colours with a chalky finish, stripped wooden floors, a stunning stone fireplace place, an old oak staircase and original stone sinks are a few of its many charming nods to its past. This classically styled house is situated in between Condom, Auch and Fleurance, so whether buying as permanent or second home, these larger, well-resourced towns are all within easy reach. The property comes with a small separate garden set at the edge of the village at the foot of the famous Chateau de Lavardens. Picnic in the shadow of one of the most beautiful monuments in SW France, in the privacy of your own garden. A closer look at the house The house can be entered on two levels, each with picturesque entrances located on quiet village streets. Once inside, there is an immediate sense of calm, and all the rooms are light-filled with tall windows in every room. There are lovely views of the village and the countryside beyond, with the year-round sculpture of plane trees on the square below, the chink of coffee cups at the neighbouring and picturesque café, below, or across the street the barber's shop with its vintage signpost. If there were a film 'An American in (not Paris but) Gascony' one could be forgiven for thinking that the backdrop to this property had been commissioned as a stage-set labelled 'Authentic French village with timeless appeal.' The Lower Ground Floor The lower section of the property may once have been a shop and could perhaps one day be repurposed as a gallery, gite or perhaps a guest suite. It has an attractive arched entrance which opens directly onto the street below. Currently on this level there is one spacious room/bedroom and a door to the adjacent garage. The garage forms part of the medieval basement area with beautiful stone walls dating back to the time of the château. All other living accommodation sits 'above' the lower ground floor and is accessed either by a charming wooden doorway on the next tiny medieval street up, or via an internal stairway which runs up to the kitchen and upper floors. The Ground Floor The Main Entrance Hall The main entrance hall to the property is an attractive room worthy of a mention in its own right. It opens directly onto the main reception room, but has the size and proportions of a library, or small study. Today it is stripped back, with lovely plastered walls and an original oak floor, and provides a nice separation between the street and the rest of the property, so that on arrival one has the impression of tranquillity and privacy when entering the main reception room. The Reception Room With two windows, one overlooking the sculptured plane trees in the central square of this tranquil village, and the other overlooking the side of the property, this room boasts an impressive and original medieval stone fireplace which has been sympathetically restored, and currently houses a wood-burning stove. This room works perfectly in winter or in summer, with the windows open. The room is elevated from the street level and offers a view of the plane trees and terracotta roof tops and is peaceful and harmonious. One has a sense of being quite private, without any vis à vis, and yet part of a community. The Kitchen The kitchen is the heart of the property. There are hand-built and hand-painted shaker-style base and wall cupboards with black granite worktops. The finishing and detail on these units is exceptional with cleverly concealed doors to conceal the shelving, which can be closed to lend a sleek and tidy feel to the room when entertaining in the open-plan dining-room. There is a striking range cooker (gas), the hood above cleverly concealed by an attractive handmade wooden pelmet with fine detailing. A large peninsular unit also topped with black granite, houses a butler’s sink. Beneath are cupboards edged with tongue and groove panelling for an elegant feel. The dining space At the far end of the kitchen, with a first-floor window over the street, is the dining space with its original fireplace and fitted cupboards alongside. Beneath the stairs an old pine fitted cupboard allows for more storage. Utility area & shower room On the other side of the kitchen is a small yet smart utility room with hand-built fitted cupboards, a butler’s sink and space for a washer/drier. Also on this floor is a newly renovated wet room which, simple and classic in its styling, includes a shower cubicle, WC and basin, black floor tiles and high-quality fittings. The first-floor The first floor is accessed from the kitchen via an old wooden staircase which has been beautifully preserved and ascends to the first floor landing. The Library/Landing The owners have maximised the generous upstairs landing space with the creation of a first-floor library with hand-built bookcases and cupboards. Made in the same style and quality as the kitchen units this is a lovely reading room. The three first floor bedrooms From the landing we access three characterful bedrooms and the family bathroom. The master bedroom has a suite-like feel with a recessed area in which a double bed sits snugly. The original fireplace confers additional character to the room, and there is plenty of space around it for a sofa or amchairs. A quirky feature is the lovely Art-Déco glazed doorway opening out onto the landing. There are two other good sized double bedrooms on the first floor, with original wooden floors, colombage beams. One room has a walk in dressing room (behind a colombage wall) the other a fitted cupboard beside an original chimney breast. The family bathroom The family bathroom is a fine blend of aesthetic and luxurious. A cast iron bath painted in a soft oatmeal colour sits in the centre of a room, served by freestanding high-quality taps coming out from the floor. A double vanity unit adds to the sense of opulence with a hand-made wooden base unit, marble top, high end taps and two wall lights. What we love here at Bliss It is rare to find a property where so much care and attention to detail has gone into the renovation, and the result is a truly exceptional home. The owners have retained so much of the original character whilst ensuring comfort and luxury throughout. From the light switches and plug sockets to the kitchen handles and bathroom taps, the highest quality fixtures and fittings have been used throughout. To whom will this property appeal? Lovers of authentic French homes that work! Anyone seeking a peaceful and ulitmately rather 'zen' home, in the heart of a bucolic and picture-postcard French village. This is the type of property where one might move to France 'alone' and be part of a community, and yet utterly private. One wouldn't have to worry about builders, or crumbling plaster. The property has been tastefully and neutrally designed, so that one could move immediately into a new French life. Equally it would suit a couple of a family, or potentially anyone wishing to develop (planning may be required) a commercial activity of some kind in the beautiful downstairs 'gallery.' If you had to imagine the new owner, who would it be? An artist; a painter or a potter, opening a gallery, on the lower ground floor, next to the quaint little café with its leafy covered terrace. Anyone who wants to move to France, and Gascony, but doesn't want to feel alone or to be lost in the middle of the countryside. Here one would soon become part of the village, and yet live in a property which by dent of its elevated position, offers total privacy. A therapist or osteopath or anyone wishing to live in a beautiful home, above one's workspace. Clients could access the 'treatment room' directly without having to access the owner's private space. A couple or family with small children, who would relish the generously sized bedrooms. Lovers of period homes with a zen ambience. This is a property which invites quiet contemplation and promises rest and retreat from the world. It is also quietly luxurious. for more information please visit the blissimmo.com

Exceptional geographical situation, idyllic, perched at the top of a Gers hillside, offering an incredible view of this countryside and its famous valleys often rightly referred to as: the French Tuscany. No noise disturbs our contemplation, and yet we are only 20 minutes from Auch and 10 minutes from Vic Fezensac. OVERVIEW After taking tree-lined roads along the Baïse valley, we gain elevation via a small winding path framed by sunflower fields. Centuries-old trees also accompany us on our approach to the property. We slowly get closer, the silhouette of the building coming into focus, resulting in a majestic arrival with its cypress and cedar trees. Here we are, on 8 hectares of land comprising fields, meadows, and groves. There are diverse spaces: Facing due south: Oaks, acacias, and linden trees provide a refreshing coolness to the house’s facade in summer. At the rear, on the east facade, there are walnut trees, pear trees, and a whole wooded area perfect for family walks or with friends, in search of mushrooms or encounters with local wildlife. Nearby, the stone barn, a superb building currently housing the owners' horses, but it could very well serve another purpose (subject to obtaining the necessary permits from the relevant authorities). A little further and scattered across the 8 hectares are four shelters for horses. There is a well with very pure water. THE RESTORED DWELLING An inscription carved in stone indicates a date: 1765, which appears to be the property's original date. Totally restored and regularly maintained by the current owners over the years, using the best and most environmentally friendly materials possible: Lime renders, terracotta tiles, unvarnished preserved old beams, only noble materials that bestow a quality restoration and an ambiance highly sought after by new buyers. It is now a characterful residence of over 260 m2 of living space over two levels. THE GROUND FLOOR A superb solid oak door, reinforced and secured, opens directly into a very beautiful equipped kitchen. Chestnut ceiling, terracotta colored backsplash harmonizing with the tiles on the floor. Storage units, hood and stainless steel sink, long worktops including a magnificent professional chopping block; everything is conducive to cooking! Its size would even allow for cooking classes. In front of us, a door opens to the summer living room. It is the most modern room in the house. A stoneware floor, white and black walls, and a double sliding door lead us to a west-facing terrace to admire the most beautiful sunsets over the surrounding countryside. Next to it, a very practical pantry for storing your finest Armagnacs or the no less famous Côtes de Gascogne. We continue to a generously sized laundry room, which also houses the Okofen wood pellet boiler and the hot water tank. It should be noted that there is central heating throughout the property, and underfloor heating, except in the summer living room. Continuing from the kitchen, on our right, we arrive in a spectacular space, with an incredible ceiling height; this is the office of the current owners. Here too, a magnificent stone and wood staircase leads us to the first floor. Along the way, we observe a wall of bricks and half-timbering that gives this room incredible and unique charm. Let’s proceed to the winter living room and its open fireplace. An old stone sink has been preserved and highlighted during the renovation, adding even more character to this living room. Behind it, a first bedroom, with its shower and separate toilet. It is worth noting that this bedroom also has direct access to the outside. In other words, this could perfectly suit a small tourist activity, such as a guest room for those who desire it. ON THE FIRST FLOOR Let’s take this beautiful staircase and here we are on the spacious landing. A plunging view of the office; it almost resembles an Italian loggia, we could almost be tempted to sing an opera tune! The floor is parquet, as in the entire upper floor. On either side, two bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms that we are going to discover. The first, with a southeast exposure, over 30 m2, parquet, exposed stones, beams, and its adjoining bathroom of 15 m2, slightly sloping. Its small balcony overlooking the walnut and pear tree also allows us to observe the greedy birds coming to peck at the fruits. The second, facing west, is also a good size, around 29m2. It has two south-facing windows, and adjoining it is a shower room and separate toilets. THE OPINION OF BLISS What struck us immediately upon arrival is the serenity and beauty of the place. A preserved nature, a green setting for this stone building that wonderfully reflects the sun's rays. At dusk, we feel privileged as we admire the landscapes offered to us, illuminated by pink and golden skies. An ideal observation place for the flights of doves or other birds that regularly cross our beautiful Gers.This description has been automatically translated from French.

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.
