Exceptional Gascon farmhouse with two thriving independent gîtes and 1.5 hectares of private parkland. This charming, fully restored, former Armagnac estate (415 m2) was built in the early 19th century and lies on the fringes of the Parc Natural des Landes de Gascogne, one of the greatest expanses of forest in Western Europe and a haven for nature lovers. The property nestles on a gently elevated site and is surrounded by undulating green hills, Armagnac vineyards and woodland. It is completely private and peaceful with glorious, unimpeded south facing views of the neighbouring Gers. As well as the principle house, there are two well-established and popular gîtes, which can provide an immediate business opportunity for the new owners. There is a recently installed swimming pool (10 m × 5 m) with a sun deck and outside shower - whilst, the extensive and beautifully maintained parkland has several private terraces and al fresco dining opportunities. A rare find, this is a fantastic opportunity to move seamlessly into life in southwest France with immediate income potential. With 10 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms, and in excellent condition throughout, there is still ample scope to develop further and the three properties could easily be reconfigured to your requirements. The main house and the first gîte, for example, could be combined to create a larger principle home and still provide a second independent guesthouse with its own gas central heating system. There are also two separate entrance gates and driveways for the main house and the two guesthouses. One advantage of the current configuration is that both gîtes can be rented out simultaneously by extended families and friends, providing extra space and privacy.

Stéphane Palladin Safti Eauze, presents to you here, this magnificent estate made up of 2 superb residences on 8 hectares of land with panoramic views of the Pyrenees Massif. Located at the end of a dead end, in a quiet area, and on the heights of Armagnac, the First historic house from the 19th century decorated with its porch accommodates on more than 200 m2, a dwelling with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, living room- open kitchen, workshop and large garage. The second, called

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.

The Château de Fourcès sits at the entrance of one of the most beautiful villages of France, on the banks of the river Auzoue. Fourcès (meaning force in Gascon) is a unique and picturesque circular village renowned for its famous annual flower market on the last weekend of April, its monthly brocantes, restaurants and eclectic shops. The village, with a mere 300 inhabitants, is a local treasure, its beauty preserved over the centuries and very much a living and breathing Gascon village, where it is possible to source anything from an ancient scented rose, a bottle of Armagnac, a unique piece of furniture; or to enjoy a fabulous meal with local produce on the terrace of the local Auberge. A village so often visited for its beauty, and gentle recreational pleasures, the Château is one of the most remarkable landmarks of Gascony, and one which here at BLISS we are proud to present to anyone in search of a life-changing property, and one which provides the possibility of so many possible business ventures linked to this historical building, in an area of peaceful beauty and tranquillity. The chateau was demolished in 1453 in the Hundred Year War. At the time the local villagers re-employed many of the stones to build their own properties around the circular market place, with is hundred year old trees. The central market place is dotted with plane trees which provide dappled shade in the summer months. This is a place in which people come together; bursting with flowers from horticulturists all over SW France at the end of April, the brocanteurs, eating an impromptu lunch at rickety tables and sharing a glass of local Gascon red at the monthly antique fares. If ever you wanted to feel you are in the heart of France, and time has stopped, cross the bridge over the river to the sleepy town of Fourcès. Building of the Château as we know it today commenced at the end of the reign of Louis Xll and was completed under the reign of François Ier. The building is clearly Renaissance in style with lovely large windows, a glorious pale stone façade, with two wings and a round tower and a square tower. In the square tower we find the beautiful and original staircase. Since 1996, successive owners of the Château have welcomed tourists into the Château, with the current owners having carried out an impressive redesign of the interior of the Château with further development of additional appartements on the upper floors, and the creation of a popular bar/tapas area on the ground floor for guests, known as Chez Boubou, with two bedrooms above the bar/restaurant in the adjacent stone cottage that sits at the entrance of the Château. The current owners also oversaw the complete restoration of the roof in 2020.

Manor house & guest house with stables, paddocks and 47 hectares The setting The property is set in 30 hectares of woodlands, park and paddocks, with an additional 17 hectares of woodland and fields bordering the small local river on the other side of the road. The trees are marvelous and it is a pleasure to drive up the winding driveway, past beautifully kept paddocks on one side and tall trees on the other. Once we arrive at the heart of the property, we find a small lake, and just past it the wooden horse boxes (built within the last five years). There are more fenced paddocks, and tall oak trees before we arrive at the main buildings. The main house The main house of the property is set back from the paddocks and other farm buildings. It is a classic maison de maître, built in the 1840s, and as such offers elegant lines, large windows and spacious rooms. Once through the front door, a large hallway opens on the left to the main living room with its original floors, working fireplace, and parquet floors. This room has double aspect windows. Venture further, and discover a good-sized games room, an attractive dining room and a small but practical kitchen. Behind the kitchen there is a charming sitting room with a large open fireplace and original stone hand basin. This was probably the original kitchen. On the first floor, there is a long wide corridor which gives access to 5 good sized bedrooms. The first one has an en suite shower room, and there is another one with a bath and a handbasin. The last bedroom also has a handbasin hidden behind a door. There is a large and sunny family bathroom, and a separate WC. On the left-hand side of the house a previous owner as built a separate studio apartment comprising a living/sleeping space, a small kitchen, a shower room and a private terrace. This could easily be rented out or used as a granny flat. The laundry room also serves as a boiler room, and it has separate access. The Pool A separate fenced garden is accessible through the main house or a side gate. This enclosed area features a heated swimming pool with a separate play area for toddlers and there is a charming small covered terrace with a built-in pizza oven and a BBQ, which is ideal for summer pool parties. The Chai The current owners have chosen to make this spacious open-plan dwelling their home. A huge ceramic wood burning stove forms the centrepiece and although there is underfloor heating here, it is the stove that is most used. There is also an open plan fully equipped kitchen, a laundry room, a WC, and a shower room with a large walk-in closet. Previous owners have sectioned off an area here to make an enclosed bedroom, but this would be easy to remove. There is also a good-sized mezzanine which serves as an office. Also in this building, separate from the living space, there is a large technical area with a professional kitchen, cold rooms, WC, all of which were previously used for food preparation and have not been touched by the current owner. This area could be used for a variety of projects, and subject to planning permission could also be converted to further living space. Here at Bliss It has become increasingly rare to find a property with so much land and with so much potential. You really feel here that you are in your own bubble and although you can sometimes hear a car pass by, it is so lovely and peaceful and private that we just didn’t want to leave. We would probably update the kitchen in the main house, and perhaps the family bathroom – although the retro style is very popular now! This is the ideal home for those looking for privacy, self-sufficiency and space and could also be a great spot to have an eco-friendly business.

The restored house of Captain de Malartic, dating back to the 14th, 17th and 18th centuries, with a separate garden and barn, in the heart of a bastide in France’s Landes department. The old square Place Royale is picturesque on all four sides: a 12th-century fort-like church stands on one side and arcades forming galleries line rows of houses, which are mostly half-timbered. The village is full of buildings that date back to periods between the 14th and 18th centuries. Almost all of them have been masterfully restored. They are hidden among the countless alleys that form a grid leading to the square. Today, this historical square is a hub for encounters and conviviality, fostered by the presence of several restaurants and a parking ban here. Nearby, artists’ studios and a range of curiosities line medieval streets. For example, there is a Protestant church built in 1607 that has been turned into an exhibition centre. On the square, the house lies opposite the church. The dwelling is known as the most beautiful house in Labastide-d'Armagnac. It has a ground floor, a first floor and a loft that could be converted. It is nestled on the square’s north-east corner, so it has two entrances beneath its galleries: one leads in from the square Place Royale and the other leads in from a side street. The house faces south-east. It stands on the edge of the square, blending harmoniously into its architectural environment. The dwelling is crowned with a roof of monk-and-nun tiling on which a gabled dormer stands. The facade’s upper section, made of brick and lattice-patterned timber framing, rests upon a thick stone wall and solid beams and joists, which are supported by two stone pillars – part of a former gallery of shops. On the first floor, three segmental-arch windows with crosspieces stand behind wrought-iron guardrails. They are fitted with wooden shutters. At the back, on the north side, there is a small terrace on the first floor. Lastly, in line with the house, there are two small rooms in a section with an entrance from outside: a fitness room with a wine cellar and lavatory and a space with a recent oil boiler and its tank.
