Luxury real estate for sale Castéra-Lectourois, France (page 2)

Situated in the Lectoure/ Condom area, on the outskirts of a popular village location, this impressive building and its adjacent land was once home to a shepherd and his flock of sheep. If “shepherd’s huts” conjure images of small and cosy dwellings, think again. This property has large and spacious rooms, high ceilings and the proportions one might more easily associate with an impressive manor house. The property has been partially restored, over a number of years, so that today we are presented with the bare and solid framework of a sizeable home with an excellent structure. With a new roof, concrete floors, exposed stone walls and new windows in most of the openings. A fabulous stone staircase links the first and second floor and there is a vast barn adjacent to the property which could also be developed (subject to any necessary planning permissions). We particularly like the way the property forms a large “L” shape around an internal sheltered garden area. This is a property which will warrant a visit and is more easily described with our photographs and floor plans - with further information on request. This is an opportunity to create a home almost from scratch, but with a solid structure and with evidence of electrical cables and drainage in place - and plans in place for what the current owners intended to do, there is ample opportunity for new owners to design the property around their own needs. With wooded parkland, stone garden walls and many trees and bushes, the grounds provide plenty of outdoor space. The nearby towns of Lectoure and Condom, with their weekly markets, schools and many shops and restaurants, are a popular destination for holiday makers and home seekers. Agen with its TGV station is just under an hour’s drive, and Toulouse international airport just over an hour.

This property is located in a picturesque medieval village, itself an island amidst a sea of greenery and typical of those medieval Gascon villages for which the Gers is renowned. Although there are no shops or commerces, the property is within a whisper of Lectoure, with its many eclectic shops and restaurants. This old stone house offers sweeping views over the valley towards the south of Gascony, the views being one of the property’s most desirable features. It boasts two entrances. One is found in a narrow alleyway frequented only by locals, the other to the south, at the top of a stone staircase, beside an adorable miniature terrace: an unbeatable spot for evening (or lunchtime!) apéritifs while contemplating expanse of valley below. Entering the sturdy front door adorned with its original heavy ironwork, we find ourselves in a spacious Gascon hallway which runs from front to back of the property, where a large table takes center stage for convivial family meals. If you are not yet familiar with the area, you will soon learn that the Gascon hallway being often the grandest space in the house, easily doubles up as a formal entertaining area. Dismiss all conventional ideas as to what a hallway should be used for. In Gascony, a hallway is an extra room. To the left, we enter a warm and welcoming kitchen which is full of charm, with its glass-fronted cabinets and gleaming tile backsplashes, and is generously sized for dining and offers delicious views out to the landscape beyond. The kitchen opens directly onto the main reception room, which is equally as bright, and cosy. This room is an invitation to relaxation, or reading, or for a pleasant nap on a hot summer day, where one can enjoy the warmth of the room in winter, and its refreshing coolness in summer; the property’s thick stone walls providing protection throughout the year. The First Floor Ascend via a beautiful wooden staircase opening onto a large, light-filled landing, an ideal spot for a home office. The first bedroom is bathed in southerly light, and enjoys the same lovely views of the valley. It has hardwood floors, lime-coated stone walls, exposed beams, and a fireplace. The second bedroom, more spacious still, offers the same charm. From its window, one can see fields and woods in the distance, and the ancient medieval walls of the surrounding properties. The bathroom is contemporary in style and features a shower, bathtub, double sink, and WC. The Second Floor A staircase worn by the passage of many footsteps over time, leads to the second floor. Nestled up here, we discover the perfect nook for a cozy reading corner, along with the third bedroom: a spacious cocoon under the roof where children will delight in creating a secret hideaway. The Garden It's small...non-adjacent (being a couple of steps away) but charming! Located right beside the main house, this area provides an extra outdoor room in the summer months. A place to plant some flowers or veg. The ideal place for a summer dining table or barbecue. There is some vis à vis from the property above at the far end, but one section of the garden offers a private area for a table and chairs. Nestled against a heavy dry-stone wall, it charms with its majestic prickly pear fig tree, vivid red photinia in spring, and the abundant whiteness of its snowball bushes. A low-maintenance garden in a tranquil spot where you can contemplate under the starry skies of Gascony.

The property in more detail. The entrance hall The main front door opens onto a large reception area which seamlessly links the original farmhouse and the new barn conversion into one fabulous home. The entrance hall is generous enough in size to warrant being called a room in its own right. The dividing wall, between the lobby and the kitchen hosts an impressive collection of books displayed on a bespoke bookshelf. Facing the front door we see a contemporary staircase ascending to the first floor. There is plenty of room for boots and coats, and a downstairs cloakroom. The original farmhouse Double doors lead from the reception area into a small hall with a cloakroom. The breakfast kitchen The breakfast room houses the washing machine, a second dishwasher and an electric cooker. It has a cosy farmhouse feel, place for a breakfast table and is fitted with useful storage cupboards and worktops, and is plumbed for an American style fridge freezer. This is a useful room which, together with the sitting room and en-suite bedroom creates a self-contained apartment. The sitting room The property benefits from a second reception room, currently used as a television room and study, and with a window and a door to the courtyard. This room leads directly to the master suite. This is a lovely room in the winter months, being snug and cosy with the wood-burning stove. The downstairs master bedroom & ensuite This large bedroom is a fabulous room, with a window overlooking the courtyard and two French doors giving access to a private terrace.

The barn conversion The reception area leads directly to a vast contemporary space, incorporating a fully fitted kitchen, a dining area and a sitting area. The kitchen The pristine, well designed kitchen has extensive storage and worktops, and a central island. It has an induction hob, two integrated ovens and warming drawer, with a built in dishwasher and refrigerator. The dining area The spacious dining area flows through from the kitchen to the main lounge. The main lounge This impressive area has a cathedral high ceiling reaching up to the mezzanine above. This open-plan room is filled with light from the south facing French doors which open directly onto the swimming pool terrace, giving far-reaching views over the valley below. The large sliding patio doors at the end of the lounge open onto a covered terrace which is ideal for al fresco dining. The first floor A contemporary bespoke oak staircase with stainless steel guardrails ascends to the spacious first-floor landing. This is a large mezzanine which overlooks the main reception area below, and gives access to three further en-suite bedrooms. Bedroom 1 A short hallway with fitted storage and a door to the ensuite bathroom gives access to a very large bedroom with fully fitted wardrobes. It has south and west-facing windows and an open view above the main lounge through high windows onto the garden. This room is particularly versatile as it was designed in a way that allows it to be easily divided or laid out differently, for example to create two separate rooms. The ensuite has a bath, walk in shower, double sinks and a west facing window. Bedroom 2 To the other side of the first floor landing bedroom 2 has a large west facing window with superb views. It has an ensuite shower room. Bedroom 3 This very large bedroom has two windows overlooking the courtyard, and a spacious ensuite shower room with a south-facing window looking out towards the Pyrenees and a Velux roof window. There is also a further room with a Velux roof window that was designed as a dressing room but has also been used as a bedroom for children. The garage and workshop The spacious stone garage can be accessed from the utility room or from the parking area. It houses the boiler and oil tank which supply underfloor heating to the entire ground floor, with radiators throughout the first floor. The underfloor heating is zoned, allowing different areas to be heated to different temperatures, and all radiators are fitted with thermostatic valves. The garage can accommodate a tractor and a car. It has a useful very large sink and both the garage and the adjacent workshop are fitted with extensive storage and workbenches. There is a mezzanine which provides additional storage above the workshop. The garden and terraces All of the terraces have external lighting and power points, and are laid out to offer shade at any time of the day. There are several outside taps and a solar shower. All rainwater is directed into the pond, or collected in storage tanks for watering plants.

The approach to the property The property is hidden behind pretty stone walls, attractive wrought iron gates, and a canopy of mature trees, including some lovely mature Cyprus trees. The garden is full of roses and peonies and on the day of our visit is bursting with blossom. Beyond the pool and gardens, landscaped on two levels, our eyes are drawn across miles of countryside to the south. The vista from the property is lovely, from both the pretty gardens around the house and the valley beyond. The house : the ground floor The old wooden door, with its characterful “hand-shaped” door-knocker, opens onto a traditional Gascon hallway with a terracotta floor tile. The hallway runs the full length of the property. The kitchen With a door both to the main hallway and the side gardens and path to the pool, the kitchen is spacious enough to incorporate a dining-room table and chairs and also boasts a beautiful open fire-place, a characterful spot for a winter’s supper. The kitchen is divided into two area by a half wall, and has a pretty decorative chimney breast built with old terracotta tiles. The downstairs study/ bedroom/ WC A spacious area on the ground floor provides room for a downstairs study and bedroom, with a WC. The main reception room This pleasant symmetrical room has a pretty fireplace with a wood-burning stove and a lovely classical plasterwork surround. There are two spacious cupboards with shelves to each side of the fireplace. The floor is lain with terracotta tiles. The Dining-Room The dining room is of a similar size to the main reception room and also boasts a fireplace. In addition room houses a contemporary staircase to the first floor. The First Floor The first floor of the property provides a surprising amount of space. The first floor reception-room The stairway leads to an open plan area which is currently dressed with sofas and chairs and used as a games’ and reading room. This area has exposed oak beams running across the ceiling and has the “feel” of a cosy “den” or central communal space shared by the occupants of the other bedrooms. The first floor “cinema room” A doorway opens from the central reception area to a surprising space. There is evidence from the newly fitted (but not yet painted) plasterboard ceiling that there were plans to concert this room into a large master bedroom with a dressing-room at one end. (NB: “a change of usage” permit may be required to convert this area above the barn into extra bedrooms). Currently this room is used as a “home-cinema” room. The bedrooms Dotted around the central reception area of the first floor, there are three good-sized bedrooms. As this property was originally built in the style of a Chartreuse, the rooms have been added and built around exposed oak beams with low windows on ground floor level. The ambience in all three of these spacious rooms is one of cosy rusticity. The bathroom The upstairs bedrooms all share a family bathroom (with a bath-tub) and separate WC.

It offers the possibility of a large family home with four bedrooms and ample living space, or alternately two 2-bedroom homes, one on each level. The Ground Floor We enter the house through a wide glass door to the living room area. This is really practical as you can park just outside and bring the shopping straight into the house. Great for rainy cold days in the winter months. On the right there is a light filled bedroom with floor-to-ceiling windows. Next, we find the boiler room which houses the heat pump which provides hot water and heat to the whole house.

Overview This immaculate four-bedroom property was built in the late 1982s. The property sits down a quiet rural lane where there are just a handful of houses set far apart from the property. This peaceful location offers surprisingly easy access to both Agen (with its TGV fast train to Paris) and the nearby town of Astaffort - a town put on the map thanks to one if its locals, the much loved musician Francis Cabrel. The beautifully maintained gardens offer all the delights of a rural property, with a multitude of fruit trees, ornamental trees, shrubs and plants. There is a substantial vegetable plot providing year-round produce, and a fenced-in area where there are a cluster of hens and three friendly geese. With spacious terraces extending to the front and to the rear of the property, the pool area sits to the rear of the property. There is an outbuilding for the storage of garden equipment and an underground parking area.

The property has inimitable views to the South and to the Pyrenees as well as a large suspended terrace garden and a separate non-adjacent garden.

The property is set in a residential area, a short drive from the market town of Saint Clar; famous for being Gascony’s biggest producer of garlic. This is a town which has burst into life in the last few years, where most villages are losing their shops, Saint Clar has seen the addition of a fabulous library, a tea-room, and an organic vegetable shop to its existing commerces : two well established restaurants, a café and a pharmacie which provides every potion and lotion you could wish for (French pharmacies are always the best!) Shops are dotted around a quintessential French square, with a covered market-place, where in the summer months local festivities, including melon and garlic festivals are held. There is some dancing and a lot of wine. In the other direction, there is Lectoure. The most searched for word on Google in Gascony is the word Lectoure, which remains one of the most vibrant towns in the area. Stunningly beautiful, with a cinema, theatre, a blossoming array of sumptuous antique shops that would make Aladdin’s mouth water, and a number of restaurants and a tea-room specialising in delicious home made chocolates. Finally, for larger shops and supermarkets and one of the most active and visited markets in the Gers, there is Fleurance. The Approach to the Property It is important to understand that this is not an isolated property. Although private it nestles at the heart of a small hamlet with two neighboring homes. To the front of the property the lawns are dotted with cherry trees, and the pigeonnier is well shielded from view by a canopy of leaves. From the rural lane leading to the property the trees have sprouted up to provide a leafy and protective screen, so very little of the tower is visible to passers-by. A driveway winds to the end of the plot where we first catch sight of the pigeon tower - a surprisingly large edifice for anyone familiar with local architecture. A swimming-pool has recently been built to the front of the terrace where a Bouddha in Lotus position contemplates the clear blue waters, an invitation to take a seat under the covered terrace area and contemplate the roof tops above. Inside the Property The main entrance opens directly onto a central reception-room where a small entrance-hall has been partioned off for shoes and coats. There is a newly fitted fireplace at the far end with a pellet burner seated on a terra-cotta plinth with a decorative brick backdrop. A newly fitted staircase ascends to the first floor. In the exposed stone wall to the left, (still on the ground-floor for the moment) we enter the : Kitchen This spacious room comprises both a dining-area and a kitchen area with a door to the terrace and pool and two windows overlooking the garden. With a terra-cotta floor, and exposed stone walls, this room (like all the others in the property) is immaculate. To the far end of the kitchen there is a practical utlity-room for the washing-machine and dryer; a downstairs WC with a wash basin, as well as a walk-in pantry. Downstairs Bedroom A spacious master bedroon is situated on the other side of the central reception-room. This room has sliding doors to the terrace and pool area and a sumptuous bathroom with a claw-footed bath tub, a walk-in shower and WC. The configuration of the ground floor is such that it is possible to live entirely on the lower level, navigating from the kitchen, main reception and poolside bedroom as if in a one-level appartment. That said, lets raise our wings and alight on the first floor: The first floor is accessed via a solid wooden staircase, opening out onto a spacious first-floor sitting room which occupies the same floor space as the kitchen below. The heart of the house being essentially a symmetrically square tower! The first-floor reception room is currently reserved for the owners’ entertainment; as a music and television room. In essence, this room lends itself to anything and provides a private space from guests in the main living-room. A window in the wall (a quirky feature of this property) opens out onto the mezzanine. The staircase continues up to the top of the tower where an impressive bedroom is crowned by a glorious roof-top, the exposed beams criss-crossing above our heads where once feathered friends from years gone by perched up high. This room is the delight of the owners’ grandchildren, jolly paper ballons in jaunty reds and oranges float beneath the beams. When lying in bed one looks up into the painted rafters and expects to see the stars. There is a fairytale appeal to any tower; and the owner assures us this makes a great den and the princesses who visit relish their magical room. One quirky point to mention : whoever painted the beams had a sense of humour. The paint colour is Farrow and Ball’s PIGEON. This roof top bedroom has an ensuite shower-room and separate WC. We complete our tour of the property with a look at the mezzanine and third bedroom, ascending the second wooden staircase in the reception room. The mezzanine provides a cosy nook to watch TV or read, and from here we access the third bedroom. In perfect decorative order and with a small ensuite bathroom this room/mezzanine provide intimate guest quarters. Outbuildings The property has a handy wooden shed in the garden with plenty of space for tools and mower.

Where are we ? This elegant stone property with its adjacent barn is located to the north of Saint Clar in a peaceful rural setting surrounded by trees and fields and sits on a large plot of land. The property is located within easy driving distance of Toulouse international airport, the Gers (Lectoure, Fleurance, Saint Clar) as well as the Tarn et Garonne (Beaumont de Lomagne and Lavit). This lovely elegant farmhouse sits on the edge of two beautiful departments within easy reach of some of their most beautiful market towns, shops and schools. The property The house has the elegant appeal of a Chartreuse and is built in beautiful white stone. There are two entrances to the property, shaded by a canopy of trees, and set back from a rural lane with barely any passers-by. There is a generous front garden, and a vast stretch of land to the rear with a field and pond, and views over open countryside. The main door opens onto a long hallway which runs the length of the property. In the extension of the house, there is a stone barn with two levels, as well as an adjoining barn. Behind the rear wall of the downstairs property there is access to a large barn. The ground floor comprises: A lovely wood-paneled reception room is inspired by the 18th century “Jane Austen” style drawing-rooms, renowned for their deep blues and reds and a period of history unafraid to use a vibrant splash of colour. This lovely blue backdrop creates a warm and inviting space and offsets the art work on the walls beautifully. There is a lovely harmony between the elegant interior and the pretty gardens seen from the French doors and windows. The kitchen is simple and charming with a wood-burning fire. The furniture is rustic and the ambience deliberately stripped back and somehow intrinsically restful. This is not a “fitted” kitchen but made up of individual pieces of furniture. To the front of the downstairs hallways there is a spacious room which could be used as a ground floor bedroom, currently set up as an artist’s atelier. To the rear of the hallway we find a downstairs storage/pantry area, cloakroom and WC. From here, one could choose to open the property up into the barn (and use this space to develop the property - relevant planning permission would be required). The first floor comprises: A long upstairs hallway accessed via a recently-fitted wooden staircase in beautiful pale wood. Two bedrooms currently used as children's bedrooms are interconnected by a shared shower-room, and both rooms are also accessible directly from the central hallway. These bedrooms are cosy being set beneath the slope of the roof, so ideal as children’s bedrooms. A first-floor master bedroom sits along the hallway. A beautiful upstairs bathroom with a sumptuous washbasin, free-standing bathtub and upstairs laundry-area hidden behind a screen with a washing-machine and dryer, is reserved for use by the parents (the other two bedrooms sharing a shower-room). At the far end of the hallway there is a separate upstairs WC and access to the upper level of the adjacent barn, where the property could be opened out, subject to relevant planning permission. The Gardens With almost 6 hectares of land the property has several water sources and a natural pond. There is a lovely flat stretch of arable field to the rear and pretty views all around, with many mature trees.

This lovely old stone property has belonged to the same family for generations. With a walled garden with a pool, and stunning views over the Gascon countryside, this spacious Gascon manor house occupies an enviable position high up on the ramparts. Its central village location ensures easy access on foots to the local shops, restaurants, and tea-rooms. With several generations of the same family owning the property, we were touched by the family history recounted by the current owner. She tells how her father used to pass by the house every day as a schoolboy, from the farm where he lived, and would always vow to himself: “one day this house’ will be mine!” Such was the power of his manifestation, that some years later, as a young man, he purchased the house for his wife and family. One can easily imagine how inspiring this house might be to a child, sitting in one of the most unusual and enviable places in the village, and so impressive in size. We hope that we can find a new owner for this property, who will be just as delighted and excited by this acquisition. Let’s look at the property in more detail: The original front door opens from the street, onto an impressive 44m2 central hallway. With a door to the rear end of the hallway, opening on the garden, the hallway gives access to each of the reception-rooms. To the left of the main door, there is a large 45m2 reception-room, filled with light from the French doors that open onto a raised terrace, and with a view over the surrounding countryside and gardens. This raised terrace area is one of the property’s most lovely features. Along the hallway, next to the main reception-room, there are two bedrooms on the ground-floor both with a fireplace. To the far right of the hallway there is a lovely room with wooden panels and decorative lead windows. This room was used as a music room, or a formal dining room, and overlooks the garden. The kitchen is positioned close to the main entrance, close to the grand staircase. It is the heart and hub of the house. The kitchen is typical of a bygone era, with space for a large dining table Infront of the fire, and despite its rather dated appearance, full of charm. There is a door from the kitchen to the street. There is also a separate cloakroom and lavatory in the main entrance. Behind the kitchen there is ample space for storage in a rear cellar, where the boiler is situated. In days gone by this section of the property was fondly nicknamed “The Shop” or “Le Magasin” by the family, because it was so spacious and with so many shelves, anything practical required here could be found in this area of the house. A graceful staircase ascends to the first floor, where we find a mirror image of the grand hallway below. This property is truly a fine family home, with five double bedrooms on the first floor, each with a bathroom. The previous owner built each of his daughters a bathroom. Three of these bedrooms have their own individual character and secret treasures, with each room opening out into a “secret” room behind. The perfect house for children to lose themselves in, with a game of Hide and Seek. On the second floor, there is a large attic. This spreads across the entire top floor, and could potentially provide additional space for conversion, relevant planning permissions permitting. Below the large garden terrace there is a garage and additional storage area.
