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.

This sumptuous château is found in the heart of Gascony, in the rich and diverse Armagnac region, at an equal distance between Bordeaux and Toulouse (1h45). On the home lands of d ’Artagnan, the estate sits in an elevated position with far-reaching views across the valley. Surrounded by fields bursting with an ever-changing tapestry of colour in the summer months, from the vibrant yellows of the sunflowers, to the neat rows of green vines, the property is situated just a few minutes distance from the picturesque village of Montréal (one of our favourite villages in the Gers) and just a ten minute drive to the larger town of Condom, with its many shops and restaurants. This region is one of the most highly sought-after in Gascony, with visitors driving out here from Lectoure and Condom, Bordeau or Toulouse throughout the year. This is an area world-famous for its music festivals (Condom and its traditional Bandas festival, or Marciac for its renowned jazz festival in the world). Long hot summer evenings are brought to life by colourful night-markets, and many other events throughout the year which ensure that this is a lively area in which to live throughout the winter months as well as the lovely long hot summers. The château is located on the edge of a small hamlet, and sits in private parkland. On arrival, we follow the beautiful stone walls of the gardens, the original ramparts of the château which border the property and can be seen from afar. A traditional wrought- iron gate between two stone pillars marks the entrance. From here onwards, as we enter through the gate, one has an immediate sense of magic as we enter the grounds. A private alley cuts through a line of elegant trees. We pass the guardian’s house, and two cottages, reaching a private driveway at the top where we catch our first glimpse of the Chateau. To the side and the rear of the Château a vast 12ha stretch of land flanks the estate. The parkland itself is filled with a rich variety of mature trees. To each side the fields and pasture is currently tended to by a local farmer. Visible even from up above at the Château one can clearly see a young vineyard, below, planted by the current owners. On an architectural note… The château dates back to the second half of the 19th century, and was once home to a religious order set up by the Pères Prémontrés. The property is built in the shape of an “L” with beautiful golden coloured stone walls and Parisan style persiennes shutters painted in muted tones of elegant grey. Sunshine dapples the walls from the south, the east and the west. There are roses and many varieties of shrubs everywhere you look. The property comprises two main wings, linked on the ground floor, the basement and the first floor. The main house has been lovingly restored by its current owner who is an interior designer. The renovated wing is the southern wing blessed by a beautiful flow of light from the south, north and west it bathes the rooms with natural light throughout the day from its tall windows. The property has undergone a tremendous programme of works supervised by an architect an expert in historical buildings, but as we shall see in more detail later, this property has the advantage of comprising a second as yet non-restored wing : the western wing. The additional Western wing, once restored would lend itself perfectly to parties (a large party room), weddings, or summer lettings. The Southern Wing The entrance A small flight of stone stairs on the northern side separates a courtyard from the majestic entrance, with its turning staircase and doorway onto a beautiful courtyard on the southern side. This south-facing courtyard is graced with a burst of pink blossom from its trees in spring. A long hallway on the northern side leads to the kitchen, a drawing-room and a laundry-room. On the other side there is a second reception room and the guest cloakroom and WC. The ceilings are high and the floors lain with stone tiles. The elegant, sculpted cast-iron radiators throw out additional heat, in addition to the under-floor heating in the entrance hall. The lighting system at the château is particularly well designed, and the property is a delight to visit in the evenings, when on arrival the lights twinkle as they might from The Great Gatsby’s home. The perfect backdrop for a summer party. Reception Room 1 : As with every room in the château the ceilings are high and the tall windows allow one a sweeping view over the valley and across the Gascon countryside. A stone fireplace and double doors divide the first reception room from the kitchen, both rooms are lain with the same stone floor tiles. Reception Room 2 : With a warm and inviting interior this room is a perfect evening room and has the same lovely views, and also a stone fireplace. Cloakroom & Guest WC At the far end of the entrance hall, discreetly positioned behind a carefully designed cloakroom wall we find the spacious guest lavatory and washbasin. The kitchen, Rear kitchen, Laundry-Room It would be more apt to say that the kitchen is yet another grand reception room. Warm and inviting, majestic in size with a long table to welcome guests or for breakfast with views across the valley, this kitchen is the heart of the property and spacious enough to host a large gathering. French doors open on the garden on the western side, where guests can dine under the plane trees and look over the fabulous stone ramparts and balustrades to the stunning views across the valley. Guests are provided with a backdrop view of the medieval ruins of the original château, and the pigeonnier or dovecote. A grand central island with spacious work surface place for big bowls of food prepared on the AGA. The rear kitchen/ scullery is also directly accessible from the garden and the main kitchen and is equipped with a traditional oven. This is an ideal space to be used by caterers serving food in the garden or interior. In the hallway on the other side of the kitchen a door with a beautiful sculptured wooden surround opens onto the laundry room. The First Floor : Bedrooms Opposite the courtyard entrance an impressive stone staircase turns upwards to the first floor, leading to a spacious landing and a second long hallway that runs above the ground floor hallway. All the bedrooms have parquet flooring. At the top of the landing to the right, two bedroom with ensuite shoer rooms and fitted wardrobes with decorative doors from old French armoirs. To the left of the landing there is a third ensuite bathroom with views to the south, and a long hallway leading to a vast parental suite which is one of the most spacious bedrooms and bathrooms we have yet to see in Gascony. The master bedroom suite comprises a vast bedroom with five tall windows, a double dressing room and a bathroom with a double sink, shower and oval bathtub. The Western Wing At the far end of the downstairs entrance hall, close to the entrance to the kitchen, a set of double doors opens onto the western wing comprising two floors with around 400m2 space for further development with planning permission. The Western wing comprises a hallway leading to a staircase to the first floor. On the ground floor there is a large reception room with grand openings to the park, and with views of the Medieval ruin. The family has hosted weddings at the property and this is a perfect room in which to dance and party, opening onto the park, the lovely views of the ramparts, the medieval chateau, and the folly at the end of the garden.

Perfect privacy within walking distance of Eauze We find ourselves in the ancient roman town of Eauze, on the north-western borders of the Gers. It is a small town, but has a number of good restaurants, an excellent weekly market and a good variety of small and large shops. Fortunately, all of this is available on foot, by bike or by car, as the property is within walking distance. The house itself is a delightful jewel; it has been really well renovated in a way that highlights the beauty of exposed beams, stonework and stunning brick fireplaces. It is filled with light, and resonates with peace and tranquility. This property is accessed down a private road, flanked by vineyards on one side and ending in a charming pond filled with waterlilies, where wildfowl are often seen. This is the beginning of the actual property and from here we can see the manicured gardens and catch a glimpse of the main house – the only thing missing is the wrought iron gates that the current owners have thought of installing. As we approach the house, we get an idea of the extent of the gardens but we also begin to see the layout of the property. Straight ahead is a wide gravelled area, perfect for parking. Along the side of the house and behind a protective wall we can glimpse a riot of flowers, and there is also a charming henhouse that has been lovingly preserved. We approach the house from the front, where a wide patio bordered by flowers is a favourite place to sit and relax. Through the front door we find a spacious hall where gentle earth tones, exposed beams and terracotta tiles set the tone for the entire house. The hall opens on both sides to generously proportions reception rooms and there is an original wooden staircase at the far end. The star of the house is clearly the stunning 35 m² living room: here we find lovely original floor to ceiling cupboards, a large open fireplace, as well as two long windows which bathe the room in a warm light. This is a perfect place to relax with a roaring fire in the wood burner in winter, or a good book at any time of the year. The house is very well heated by an oil-fired boiler, but it is always a joy to have a fire on a winter evening! The supporting beams that separate the living room from the dining room have been left in place to create a screen-like effect which is very charming and gives an added feeling of space. In the dining room, where you could easily seat ten or twelve guests, we find another stunning exposed brick fireplace. Behind the dining room is a beautifully renovated kitchen and a practical laundry room with guest WC. On the left of the front hall, we find a spacious TV room with another beautiful fireplace, although this fireplace is not used. There is a good-sized office behind this room which could also be used as a library. The beautiful floor tiles which have been laid throughout the reception areas of the ground floor give a sense of continuity which is very pleasant. Upstairs the calm earth tones continue and are reinforced by the beautiful brick and wood half-wall that runs parallel to the staircase. On the left-hand side of the landing, we find the master suite, where the focus is the gorgeous brick fireplace in the bedroom. There is also a large shower room with twin sinks and a WC, and there are big closets too. There is also a large walk-in closet on this side of the landing, which is a great place to store suitcases and other little-used items. There are a further three spacious bedrooms, which are accessed from the other side of the landing. They all share a beautifully appointed bathroom; here the focus is a stunning claw footed rolltop bath, but there is also a large shower, twin sinks and a WC. There are flowers everywhere around this property, and on each side of the house there is a quiet space where you can sit in the sun – or the shade – and enjoy the tranquility of this lovely place. Behind the kitchen there is a wonderful walled garden filled with flowers that spill down from the walls and scent the air. There are several sitting areas to discover and enjoy here. Behind the house we find a charming henhouse with room to store wood and garden implements. There is a large open hangar tucked away behind the house and the gardens, and here there is ample room to park several cars in case of inclement weather. There is also a well which can be used to water the garden. The owners have kept the area around the house beautifully groomed, but they have also left a good-sized area to wild flowers, so you can walk along a mown path to the oak trees that mark the boundary of the property. Here nature has been allowed to remain pure and the bees appreciate it! Our thoughts at Bliss Our owners chose this house for a very good reason – it is totally private and feels like a country estate and yet it is only a few minutes walk from the historic town of Eauze, with its bustling farmers market, and excellent restaurants. Beautifully renovated and filled with natural light, the house has preserved many of its original features, adding charm and character. With the option of a ground floor bedroom, it caters to a variety of needs and preferences, making it a desirable choice for many buyers.

The Landscape This superb Gascon property sits in an elevated position at the end of a long track. There are no near neighbours and views for miles around across the surrounding countryside. To each side, the valley drops gently away, woods and fields dotted all around, as far as the eye can see. The Gardens The gardens were the creation of a local landscape gardener at the start of the restoration project. The line of the land was modified to encompass a tennis court in an elevated position above the swimming pool, and as well as the dozens of roses, shrubs, trees and plants that were incorporated into the scheme, huge boulders or rocks were imported and placed around the pool side. The result is spectacular. The pool is a feat of design and a work of art. Its shape is non symmetrical and the line of water meets the line of the horizon perfectly so that it is possible to “swim into the view and over the horizon.” The waters cascade at the end of the pool into a rivulet and sweep around the side and back into the pool by an ingenious system. There is continual movement of the water. Access to the pool is gentle. The pool slopes down gradually, without steps, so that for younger children it is possible to play safely at the water’s edge. The current owners are keen tennis players, almost to a professional level, and the incorporation of a professional level tennis court was vital to their project. Discreetly located behind a stone wall, and in a raised position above the swimming pool area, a screen of shrubs and trees mask the court from view. A covered terrace area with its own kitchen, and cold beer on tap, provides a vast and shaded area in which to dine, or to relax between matches. From the terrace the tennis- court is almost invisible, the view is predominantly that of the swimming pool. From here it is all to easy to imagine, on our visit to the property, how this property has been used for many years as a place of fun and recreation. Sipping beer, to the gentle and distant sound of yellow balls bouncing on the court; the splash of the water trickling over the edge in the pool; deck chairs placed in sunny spots beside the water’s edge and facing the majestic view. Also of interest in the gardens is the second terrace to the rear, which is accessed directly from the kitchen/main reception area. This covered spot is the owner’s favourite place in which to dine with guests. The property also benefits from a woodshed to the rear and a vast garage/barn area for storage. And now for the house … From the front of the property this is a typical symmetrical and Gascon maison de maitre. When the owners first came to visit it, in their own words it was “pretty much a wreck, requiring gutting and complete recreation from the inside.” Initially the house was joined onto a barn and the restoration of the property has seen the incorporation of the original house and its adjacent stone barn into one fabulous and luxury property. Each internal detail has been thought about, and every item specifically hand-picked for the property down to the last detail. The Entrance The door to the property opens onto a formal entrance hall, with two reception rooms to each side. A wooden staircase leads to two upstairs bedrooms above. At the far end, the entrance hall opens onto the rear dining-room and kitchen area. We note that there are two staircases to the upper level. The first, the wooden staircase rising from the main entrance hall. The second staircase from the bar area, which rises to the mezzanine and an upstairs gallery, which in turn has a door to the rear gardens, and pool area. This property is built on two levels, with each level having access to the lower gardens, and the rear gardens and pool area. Two Formal Reception Rooms (Library, Snug, Music Room… what you will…..) To the front of the property, and from the main door, we enter the original entrance hall, where to the left and right of the door, are the original two reception rooms; once the only habitable rooms in the property. Today, in this original section of the maison de maitre , we open the door onto two beautifully dressed rooms. Both are used as formal reception rooms/ a music room/ reading room. The décor is elegant and timeless, and contrast beautifully with the rear section of the property which has been developed in the original barn. The Kitchen At the end of the hallway, the kitchen is a fantastic example of genius; where the cupboards have been individually designed, including the sink which is a work of art in itself. Hewn from a vast piece of black granite, our current owner jokes: “The artisan who made this, told us that this was the first time he had ever engineered such a gargantuan sink, and that the granite is so heavy, it would also be the last time.” The sink is tapered from a drying area, to two vast sinks, the work top flowing in seamless fashion to each side. With a black Lacanche oven, vital when hosting the large parties of friends and tennis players who come to the house, the kitchen is a design miracle, with a vast amount of storage carefully dissimulated behind hand crafted wooden doors. The Dining Room The kitchen opens onto the main reception/dining- room, with its original fireplace. There is a partial division of the kitchen and the main reception room by a wall which is in essence a row of wooden storage cupboards, to that the light from the kitchen window and the light from the far window of the reception room (overlooking the terrace area) flows between the two spaces. Currently the room is dressed with a long table running before the fireplace, in the traditional Gascon way. The rear wall has seen the incorporation of a large panel of glass, creating an invisible wall between the internal winter dining area and the summer terrace. This fabulous room has been created from the original barn. Behind the kitchen there is access to a downstairs cloakroom, with a fabulous stone sink, and the downstairs laundry- room. La Cave/Bar This property has been designed by a family that clearly loves to party and to entertain in style. It is no surprise that there is a private bar incorporated into the property, with the original beer barrels. A glass and metal window adds a contemporary note to this area, in smart contrast to the thick slabs of stone on the floor. With high ceilings and a view to the mezzanine area above, this is a fabulous party room. A small bar positioned in-front of two vast wine vats, is the perfect place to hang out with friends. With ample space for a dining table, this room provides yet one more place in which to entertain. Set back from this room, and just a few steps from the serving bar, there is a wine cellar. Cool, with a concrete floor, and shelving filled on each side, with the finest wines and spirits; the bar and the wine cellar will delight lovers of fine wines the world over. The Mezzanine/ Library The mezzanine runs as a gallery above the downstairs bar area, and has been fitted with elegant book shelves, to create a library/reading area. Here one can sit and read, while below friends sip wine at the bar. A rear door from the mezzanine opens directly onto the pool area, with its covered terrace and kitchen, tempting readers once more to put down their books, and take a dip in the pool, or sip an ice cold beer. Upstairs Divided into two distinct area, two bedrooms sit to the front of the property in what was once the original maison de maitre. These two rooms overlook the front and side of the property, and share a family bathroom. From the terrace area, two bedrooms share a gorgeous family bathroom, which has all the appeal of a five star hotel bathroom. The master suite has its own vast bathroom, with both a shower (created from a wine vat, circular in shape) and a sumptuous bathtub. The main bedroom also has a flight of wooden stairs leading to a room above, in the style of a Duplex apartment. There are two separate WCs on the first floor. In addition to the impression one has in this property of having come to stay at a luxury retreat (the bathrooms are truly a work of art and some of the most lovely bathrooms we have seen here at BLISS) there is also a dinky circular cupboard area on the landing, which opens out into mini kitchen, for tea and coffee, with a small round copper sink. Also on the landing, for the storage of all those lovely Indian cotton towels and bed-sheets, there are vast cupboard areas, which (as every cupboard in the house) have been individually designed by the finest carpenters.

This 15th century castle is of unparalleled beauty. It has traversed the years, conserving a little of the history of each generation, undergoing vast restorations in the last thirty years, including the facade, the entrance-door, the mullioned windows with their beautiful lead glass panes, along with the restoration of the original beamed French ceiling by a master craftsman, and the installation of a Hungarian parquet from the same period and the rehabilitation of the 16th century wall of defense with existing stones. This property is divided into two distinct segments with the ancient watchtower on one side with its medieval foundations and walls and the 17th/18th century house on the other. The main house comprises a beautiful entrance with original floor-tiles, a living room of about 24 m² with its original flooring, and a large fireplace. On the first floor there is a bedroom with a shower room with a staircase leading up to a second bedroom on the mezzanine. On the other side of the entrance hall there is the original kitchen with its old floor tiles, its fireplace and bread oven. A second, more recent kitchen of 26 m² has been developed at the far end of the hallway with access to the garage. On the second floor there is a nice bedroom of about 24 m², a small vestibule and a bathroom. The ambience in the watch tower is completely different, and here one can easily imagine having stepped back in time. The rooms are large and spacious, and distributed on four levels. On the first floor, there are two rooms with new ceilings and an earth floor. On the second floor there are two rooms each with stained glass windows, and in one of these the original latrine. The second and third floors comprise one room on each level with period flooring. The Tower offers its future owners incredible potential for development and with the necessary renovations would give a new lease of life and modern purpose to this brave old building which has survived the centuries as a testament to the builders of the time, having entirely preserved its authenticity.

Overview A beautiful chartreuse-style stone house with guest house, set in delightful private gardens with lovely countryside views close to one of the Gers’ most historically interesting villages. Renovated to a high standard and set over two floors, this property is ideal for hosting with its seven bedrooms and children’s dormitory. Wandering around we can’t help but imagine large family gatherings or delightful soirées in the generous entertaining spaces. Outside, a wonderful terrace overlooks a large swimming pool, and a second, covered terrace is the perfect lounging area complete with hanging day bed. As well as the large living and dining rooms, the cinema room, playroom and summer kitchen add to the entertaining possibilities, ensuring total relaxation and leisure. We approach the property through grand ornate iron gates and along a winding gravel drive surrounded by gardens on all sides, thoughtfully planted with flowers, shrubs and trees. Ample parking space is available at the end of the drive. The main house We enter through double-glazed, hand painted wooden doors into a large entrance room with chequerboard tiled floor and an elegant working fireplace. Head straight through glazed double doors into a hallway from which three double ensuite bedrooms can be found. All are beautifully appointed with modern shower rooms and WCs, some with double-glazed doors that open directly onto the impeccably maintained gardens. Further along the hallway is a handy storage room with built-in cupboards, and another part-glazed door leading out on the terrace. The ground floor living areas Back in the central hallway, we enter a room currently used as a study and fitted out with handmade bookshelves. We are then drawn to a large dining room which flows seamlessly to the kitchen and spacious living room. The suspended view from these rooms is mesmerising and the owners have ensured it is fully captured from all angles by adding full width windows and central double-glazed doors along the entire wall. Light floods the room and, in cooler months, the grand stone fireplace is the perfect place to cosy up in front of a roaring fire with a good book. With its terracotta floor, laid throughout the entire ground floor, exposed beams and impressive stone fireplace this room is full of character and an exceptionally serene place to relax. At the other end of the hallway are some practical utility spaces including a WC, laundry room and more cupboards. The kitchen The modern kitchen is accessed via the dining room as well as from the outside covered terraced. It has been decorated in a cheerful orange colour scheme with induction hob, fitted oven and plenty of fitted base and wall cupboards. The first floor We climb the original oak stairs beneath a stunning glass chandelier and arrive at a landing from which the master suite can be accessed. The bedroom benefits from a large adjoining shower room with a separate WC, a vast walk-in dressing room fitted with open wardrobes and hanging rails. Also on this floor is a cinema room and and a children’s bedroom / playroom with eight sweet cabin beds prettily dressed with curtains through which we can imagine tiny giggling faces peeping. A door from the cinema room opens into a warm and immaculate attic area which doubles as a laundry drying space but could be developed into an additional room. The indoor-outdoor leisure spaces Alongside the kitchen is an attractive and inviting covered terrace area with tiled floor and original beams. Decorated in Moroccan style, with comfortable hanging beds, softly draping fabric and sheer floor length curtains which float pleasantly in the wind, it is the perfect place to relax or host an aperitif on a hot summer’s evening. Further along the terrace, a games room offers additional entertainment thanks to its pool and football tables, and next to it a summer kitchen links back to the inside of the main house. The guest house Accessed from both the garden terrace and the main gravel driveway is an adjoining two-bedroom cottage offering additional accommodation for friends and family, which could also be used as a self-contained guest house. It is modern in style and beautifully appointed, yet retains original features including wooden beams and stone walls. We enter through glazed doors into the bright living room with its smart, modern floor tiles. Ahead is a modern staircase and the kitchen, with wide double-glazed doors that lead out onto one of the two covered terraces, with lovely views across the garden and the woodland beyond. The kitchen is smart with white cupboards and marble effect worktops and a built-in fridge freezer, induction hob, cooker and cooker hood. Alongside is a WC and sink and a laundry room. Upstairs we find two large bedrooms, each en suite with large shower cubicles and modern sink units. Both rooms are stylishly decorated yet retain elements of period charm thanks to the high-eaved ceilings, wooden beams and floors. One bedroom looks out across the rear garden and the other over the front garden, both with beautifully planted flower beds alongside lush lawns. The guest house benefits from its own covered terraces, beautifully styled and with attractive privacy screens, contemporary lighting, built in seating and pretty planting. The outdoor space and gardens At the far end of the main house is a large workshop and a garage, the latter benefitting from a new electric door. The spaces could be connected but for now each offers ample storage space for garden equipment and vehicles. The setting for this property is simply delightful and the current owners have taken great pride in ensuring the surrounding gardens and terraces are thoughtfully planned and planted with a mix of flowers, shrubs and trees. The terraced areas to the rear are immaculate with pergolas, barbecue areas, outdoor lighting, stone walls and planting alongside which soften the space and create a feeling of privacy whilst making the most of the view. We head from the main terrace down stone steps to the private pool area. The pool is 20 m long and 3m wide so offers keen swimmers the chance to enjoy endless laps whilst enjoying the view. To the side of the house is a copse of mature trees providing much needed shade in the hot summer months. The owner has levelled the land beneath to make a neat outdoor space that stretches out towards neighbouring farmer’s fields. What we love here at Bliss We love the blend of modern and original charm in this property. It is newly renovated and well looked after which makes it both practical and a delight to spend time in. The ground floor flows seamlessly from room to room, and we are impressed with the current owners’ focus on maximising light wherever possible thanks to the addition of new, high-quality wooden windows and glazed doors. They also cleverly connect the front of the house to the rear gardens and view, adding a sense of tranquillity and peace. What is more, the owners’ love of landscaping and gardening has meant they have created a simply beautiful environment for outdoor living, swimming and entertaining. Who would this property suit? A large and growing family or someone who wants to run a high end, boutique-style chambre d’hôtes with the option of a guest house for longer stays. The guest house also provides the flexibility of the new owner living on site while running the hotel. The excellent location on the fringes of a charming village and in an area famed for its vineyards should prove advantageous for a tourist activity whilst also being an idyllic, rural base for setting up a permanent or second home.

A charming four-bedroom stone house with a separate stone annexe set in private gardens with a pool and lovely countryside views, within a hamlet, close to Condom. With a separate dining room, kitchen, summer reception room and study, this is a spacious home, tastefully restored and full of character. Historically the property itself was once four cottages in a tranquil Gascon hamlet which now form one single dwelling. The property was purchased over thirty years ago by its current owners who transformed what was then a ruin into a beautiful home. The owner of the property is a talented artisan and there is evidence of his work throughout the property. The owners have carefully retained original features such as stone fireplaces and sinks, and where new additions have been made (such as the wooden handcrafted staircase) they are totally in-keeping with the style of the period. The property it is set over two floors with a central mezzanine, accessible via two wooden staircases. The ground floor offers flexible living accommodation including a spacious reception room with a fireplace, a separate dining room, a kitchen, a downstairs bedroom currently used as a gym, and three upstairs bedrooms. Opening onto the gardens there is a light and bright summer sitting room with a second kitchen area and reception room. The gardens are peaceful and nicely planted with neat lawns, a variety of trees and flower beds and different sections in which to relax, dine or entertain. With little to do in the main house, whoever buys this property will have the opportunity to complete the refurbishment of the stone annexe. This building has a new roof and concrete flooring throughout and is divided into three sections. The first has been converted into a reception room and artist’s studio. Interestingly this room would provide an excellent space as a treatment room, an outside office, or for anyone wishing to work freelance from home such as an osteopath. The groundwork has been done to easily convert the rest of the property into a second house with the addition of a kitchen and bathroom. (Please note change of usage planning may be required). FOR FULL DETAILS PLEASE CONSULT OUR BLISS IMMOBILIER WEBSITE The approach (is pristine!) On approaching the property, we are welcomed by blue shutters and smart exterior stonework on both the buildings, and the little stonewalls which double as planters for topiary and palm trees. The entrance to the property is topped with crisp light gravel, clever exterior lighting and parking for several cars. There is a zen feel to the pebble terrace borders to the annexe and a small fountain in the corner. The ground floor The main reception room The main door opens into a traditional period style reception room with terracotta floors and an imposing stone fireplace where it is easy to imagine nights snuggled in front of the fire with a good book and a glass of wine (or two). A bespoke wooden staircase directs us up to a mezzanine floor which can also be reached from a second staircase in the dining room. There is a view via a glass door to the pool and rear gardens. The study A door from the main reception room opens onto an adjacent study room with a door to both the front and rear gardens. The current owner used this room as an office, and clients were able to visit him and access the office from the car park, without having to enter the main house. The summer living room The study opens onto a beautiful summer reception room/kitchen with windows along two walls over the gardens and pool and double French doors which bathe the room in light. This room forms a seamless connection between the house and the gardens and is light and bright in style. It provides a lovely contrast to the more traditional feel of the main house. This space is fitted with a simple open plan kitchen, wooden cladded walls and a high beamed ceiling. We return now to the main entrance hall, and the central reception room, to explore the other side of the property. The kitchen & dining room The main reception room opens onto a rustic style kitchen with blue and white splashback tiles, white painted base and wall cupboards, a fitted oven and hob and a dishwasher. There are lovely views and access out onto the front garden. Step up from the kitchen into the dining room also with an original and working fireplace. The boiler room A double door from the dining room opens onto a practical storage room which houses the boiler and water heater. The ground floor cloakroom Running parallel to the dining room a hallway leads to a downstairs cloakroom. From here, we access: The ground floor bedroom (1) This room is currently used as a gym, but for anyone requiring a downstairs bedroom, this is a spacious room with a lovely view of the gardens and access to the pool. It also has the advantage of an adjacent downstairs family shower room. The ground floor shower room Alongside the ground floor double bedroom is a stunning shower room with views of the pool and a glass door to the garden. A contemporary double stone handcrafted sink, Italian shower and smart wooden flooring plus built-in shelves lend the room a sense of elegance. The walls are plastered in smooth Moroccan style Tadelakt plaster which add to the beautiful finish of the room. The first floor The upstairs snug We ascend the main staircase from the central living room. This is a magnificent space given the double height ceiling with original wooden beams and stone walls. The stairs open onto a spacious landing area where the owners have created an informal first floor snug where the children like to watch television. The master bedroom (2) From the landing we access the master bedroom with mirrored fitted wardrobes and an ensuite shower room which doubles as a hammam. The bedroom has large double windows with fabulous views across the garden and beyond to the surrounding fields. Bedroom (3) With access from the second staircase in the dining room, a first-floor double bedroom with overlooks the courtyard. With fitted wardrobes, a modern partition cleverly conceals a shower cubicle and wash basin. The room has an adjacent is a separate WC featuring a quirky hand painted wall mural of a palm tree perhaps in homage to the tropical planting outside and the creation of a family friend. Bedroom (4) A third, very sunny double bedroom with fitted wardrobes and double-glazed doors opens out onto a Juliet balcony overlooking the central courtyard. Outside The guest house & workshop At the entrance to the property a stone annexe sits parallel to the main house. This building has electricity, a new roof and a lovley stone façade and internal walls. The first section of this property is currently dressed as a relaxation room/artist’s studio/workshop. It is attractively furnished with a Moroccan-style corner sofa and has a softly painted concrete floor. There is potential to do refit the original fireplace which has conserved just two stone corner pillars. An adjoining room functions well as a workshop/studio and houses the owners’ tools. A third adjoining room is currently unused but also benefits from a good roof. This is an interesting addition to the property. Change of usage may be required, but it is certainly spacious enough to create a second cottage, or to use for yoga retreats, or other artistic pursuit. Equally it could be converted into a home for older children or elderly parents with ground floor accommodation only. The outside space The owners have clearly taken great pride in creating delightful gardens both at the front and at the rear. A double garage provides shelter for two cars and features a concrete floor and manual wooden doors. A charming topiary hedge archway draws us from the front courtyard to the rear gardens and to an attractive terraced area with a built-in planter for barbeque nights with friends and family. A wooden pergola provides greenery and shade and here we also find the pool equipment and storage room. Central to the garden design is a stunning salt swimming pool with smart terracing on all sides. There are different varieties of trees dotted around and lovely views beyond the garden across neighbouring fields. It is both tranquil and private. A long tree-filled lawn stretches to the rear of the property. There are two neighbouring gardens on each side, but no direct overview from another house. Our thoughts here at Bliss This is a great property that combines peaceful rural living with ease of access into the popular town of Condom. This has clearly been labour of love for the current owners who have over three decades, turned it from four stone cottages and farm buildings into a charming family home comprising many different areas for relaxation, leisure or partying. The rooms flow easily, and throughout the property there is easy access to the gardens and the pool. For a traditional stone property which no doubt dates to the 17th century or earlier, the property is filled with light. We love the garden party areas. It is possible to cook outside and host, using the summer kitchen – and keeping the house separate and private. The property works well throughout the year. The main reception room with its big stone fireplace is cosy in winter. The summer reception room a delight in the summer. Who will this property suit? This house is ideal for a family or as a second home with little or no work, other than if one were to continue to restore the stone annexe. Any other works are purely decorative, should one wish to refurbish the kitchen for example. With such easy access to Condom, this quiet rural location provides the best of both worlds. Buyers with a budget to finish the guest cottage or good DIY skills should relish the opportunity to put their stamp on this property whilst adding to the possibilities of how it can be used.

WHERE ARE WE? In Lot-et-Garonne, 20 kilometers from Nérac, but very close to Gers and its rolling landscapes since we are only 13 kilometers from Condom. It is a countryside dotted with quaint villages, vineyards, and varied crops. A small road climbs through fields and leads us to a sleepy village. Here, in this peaceful countryside, not far from a lake, emerge the ruins of a 13th-century castle, preserved in a glass case. These ruins, part of the old village castle, were restored by an architect who fell in love with the place over 10 years ago. Today, it is a loft and one of the most unusual properties we offer. Past the gate, we find ourselves in the garden, a completely enclosed 837m2 plot. To our left, the impressive façade majestically blending stone and glass, and to our right, the guest house. A terrace, lawn, and a cooling pool with a view to the west and its wooded horizon separate these two buildings. Inside the Loft Castle The ground floor, like the entire space, is bathed in light. The Italian stone flooring reflects the modern elements surrounding us. A spacious entrance with a wooden door on the right opens to the former dungeon of the castle, now a much more welcoming place as it serves as the wine cellar. Your Côtes de Gascogne (the regional appellation) or other prestigious bottles will find an ideal and chic storage place here. On our left, a white lacquered designer cabinet contains technical elements. Taking a few steps, we pass through a stone curtain and find ourselves in the heart of the loft. An open space 8 meters high, the first floor overlooks us. Small stone niches and mullioned windows let light flood the entire loft. A white spiral staircase with a light and elegant metal structure leads us upstairs, revealing an office space and a beautiful stone vault behind it. Immediately to the left, a door conceals wall-mounted toilets with indirect lighting, giving this often banal place a very elegant look. Returning to the center, an incredible living space welcomes us. We could sit on one of the black leather sofas, as if in a museum, and contemplate our surroundings: red, black, and white furniture transports us to a universe that could be Mondrian's. A large red lacquered five-door cabinet separates the living area from the kitchen. Made to measure by a local craftsman, it houses practical and aesthetic storage on both sides. Behind it, the black and white equipped kitchen also offers plenty of storage. The refrigerator: two large built-in stainless steel doors, steam oven, and stainless steel hood, all pure and sleek lines. Nothing disrupts our visual field; we remain in an artistic ambiance. You can cook under the light of a high stone window facing south. Don't fear the summer heat; the thick walls act as natural air conditioning, and the property is equipped with a heat pump providing both air conditioning and central and underfloor heating. The TV lounge is located opposite the kitchen. The architect and owner took care to structure this space by placing a large white lacquered cube, thus separating the two zones. This trick shelters a laundry room equipped with a washing machine, dryer, sink, and shelves. One of the electrical panels is also found here. At the center, hidden in the white cube, an Italian shower, practical for those who wish to set up a bedroom on the ground floor instead of the existing TV lounge. The First Floor, a U-shaped Mezzanine, Also Bathed in Light After taking the stairs, immediately to the right, a space currently used as a studio by the current owner, who, as you guessed, also has artistic talents. Then, access to a small stone terrace where the air/water heat pump is hidden. In front of us, protected by glass, the old medieval latrines. Turning left, we admire along the entire length, this 13th-century stone wall with the old castle's watchtower on its right. Today, it houses a modern white and red bathroom illuminated by three openings. We walk along this stone wall, wide enough to accommodate a huge red lacquered buffet, to arrive at what is now the sleeping area. In harmony with the ground floor, white lacquered cubes structure and delimit the spaces: the bedroom is open-plan, with a large Italian shower. The sinks naturally found their place in stone niches. THE GUEST HOUSE – ABOUT 114 m² Ideal for hosting friends or family. It can also serve as a guesthouse for those considering a small tourist activity. It has retained its exposed beams and stones, giving it the charm of the typical country houses one imagines and hopes to find in the southwest of France. On the ground floor, an equipped kitchen, a shower room, and the dining room, living room with a beautiful fireplace inviting relaxation and reading by the fire. All rooms benefit from double exposure and therefore beautiful brightness. French doors from the living room provide direct access to the garden. Upstairs, we arrive at a large landing with a transparent floor, overlooking the living room. Three bedrooms and an L-shaped balcony to enjoy the sun, the garden view, and the village square. The Garden and Terrace Of ideal size for low maintenance but allowing enjoyment of the outdoors. One can easily imagine having a cocktail with feet in the cooling pool and continuing with a Gascon meal on the beautiful terrace. A barbecue area to prepare duck skewers. A lean-to attached to the guest house to shelter tools and all the necessary gardening equipment. There is a well dating from 1673 equipped with a pump to water the entire garden.

Where is the property located? This property is located a short drive from the market town of Condom, in a tranquil spot. There are a couple of neighbouring houses. Our property is free from any overview of neighbours and there is a lovely sense of privacy from the enclosed gardens and stone walls which run around the garden. Agen is less than an hour away with its fast train to Paris, Bordeaux and Toulouse. Toulouse is an hour fifteen by car, with Blagnac international airport. The Gardens, Guest Cottage & pool The courtyard garden is beautifully paved for easy maintenance. There is a spacious covered terrace/ barbecue area next to the guest cottage, and a raised balcony/ terrasse off the kitchen. The impression one has, is of a peaceful sunlit place to relax, in sunlight or shade in the hottest months. The oval pool is raised and sits to the front of the property with a terrasse area all around. This is a fantastic property for entertaining, with the separate guest house, or for dinner guests in summer the covered terrace and barbecue area which provides a fantastic ambiance for parties. The main house The ground floor : We enter the main house via a central hallway from the courtyard garden. The property has a cosy period feel, with pretty exposed stone walls, stone floors, which are in perfect keeping with the age and style of the property. On the ground floor there is a galley- style kitchen which is spacious and well organised. The kitchen opens onto a covered terrasse area at the far end, with plenty of place for a long table, perfect for outdoor dining and an additional living-space in the summer months. Next to the kitchen, we find a formal dining-room for evening meals or indoor winter dining, a cosy study/ television room and a larger reception room at the far end. Each of these rooms is brimming with character : stone walls, floors, beams and period features. The ground floor benefits from a shower room/ laundry room as well as a separate downstairs guest cloakroom/WC and sink. A vintage wooden staircase leads to the first floor. The first floor At the top of the staircase there is a generous landing area with a window which leads to two generously sizes double bedrooms. Each of these bedrooms has a private ensuite shower-room, WC and sink. The first bedroom has a large closet. Both rooms overlook the pool. The second floor The second and top floor of the property is delightful! With gorgeous views from the main bedroom, there is a bathroom on the other side, with a bathtub, shower and WC. The top floor has the feel of a private appartment.

Overview This beautiful stone property enjoys a quiet location, gorgeous south-facing views to the mountains; a guest cottage and a fabulous pool. With over 500m² living space in the main house and 83m² in the separate guest house with 2 bedrooms and ensuite shower-rooms, this property has been renovated completely throughout. This comfortable home with its contemporary interior, couples a wealth of period features with all the comforts of modern day living. There is the additional bonus of a tennis court nestling in the beautiful landscaped gardens, to wile away those sunny afternoons with the pleasant sound of balls hitting the court. Did anyone say gin and tonic? Where is this property located? In the heart of Gascony, the Tuscany of France, on the edge of Condom, within easy access to the town for its shops and schools. The property is also half an hour from the much-loved market town of Lectoure, and within easy reach of Agen and the fast TGV train line to Paris, Bordeaux and Toulouse. Blagnac international airport is 1hour15 minutes away. The property sits in a non-isolated yet utterly private location with stunning views of the countryside and on certain days a clear view of the snow-capped Pyrenees mountains.

FULL DETAILS AND MORE PHOTOGRAPHS ON OUR BLISS IMMOBILIER WEBSITE. The question we sometimes ask ourselves, is how anyone can find the courage to throw themselves into a complete restoration project; knowing it takes time endless resources, and nerves of steel. The answer is sometimes as simple as “the views” and the “feel of these old stone walls when we first visited and fell in love with this place,” which is what the owners of this beautifully restored property told us on our first visit. The guidelines for energy efficient property in stone (Is this possible? ) Take a simple stone farm-house, of sizeable volume, forgotten by time, uninhabited for many years, and take it back to its barest bones and reconstruct it from top to bottom; the new roof, windows, electrics and plumbing. Allow in the light, and views, to create a space which flows from the entrance hall to the top floor, and as a reward receive an almost impossible to achieve “A” rating on your diagnostics report. The surveyor sat down to double check his figures, called for a drink and did much head-scratching. The sums were correct. This old stone property is now as easy to heat and to run as a modern ecological home. The story behind this property This is the story of this old stone farmhouse, transformed beyond recognition into a sumptuous and home of the absolute highest possible standards. This property is unexpected, unlike any seen by BLISS in Gascony so far. It is a polished gemstone in a sea of green fields and vines. The inside is bursting with joy and life and colour. There is something inside this property which is reminiscent of a shiny box of gems; there are pinks and greens and splashes of colour all against the beautiful muted tones of creamy stone walls and floor. The wallpapers are decadent and add colour, depth and character. You need a vision to create a home like this, and to be bold and daring in your colour choice. We have come to expect exposed walls in the period properties of the area, and yet to move away from the traditional and yet encompass it so beautifully; marrying both ancient stone and modern materials, you need not just vision but guts, and the result is both surprising and sumptuous. In this house you can peel back the windows (the huge glass window in the kitchen slides seamlessly into the kitchen wall) so when the sun beats down relentlessly, the owner tell us how she can sit by the open window and observe the garden, tangibly close, knit or read, and enjoy a summer’s day from the cool and comfort of the kitchen. There is not a single corner of darkness in this property, it turns outwards to the views and has been designed so that each room flows into the next.
