In harmony with nature Overview This house is quite simply incredible; the architect has been able to achieve a remarkable balance between unashamed modernity and respect for the natural environment. It was built in 2017 using all the latest technology and updated within the last year. It is also now entirely wheelchair friendly. Everything in the property can be programmed using only a mobile telephone, including the pool filtration system. The house The overwhelming feeling upon entering this house is of harmony. The house has been built using soft greys and natural wood, and whenever possible the architect has included floor-to-ceiling windows facing the gardens. The colour palette of the open-plan living spaces reflects the same shades and even the anthracite brushed aluminum window frames and electric shutters harmonise perfectly with the colour scheme. The main living space measures 52 m² and has been designed for maximal ease of movement. At one end there are comfortable sofas and at the other end there is a beautifully designed fitted kitchen. The quartz countertops in swirly shades of grey are stunning and the entire area has been created to maximize ease of movement and allow interaction with guests and family while preparing meals. This room has one wall that is almost entirely composed of glass doors facing the pool area. All the windows have both interior shades and exterior electric shutters, all in matching shades of dark grey. The delightful main bedroom suite is situated just past the living area. A wide doorway opens onto a room that has been created specifically to meet the needs, and the design choices, of the present owners. Here, the ceiling and one feature wall are in warm shades of wood, and the flooring is light grey polished stone tiles. Once again, there is an entire wall of glass, giving a feeling of being in harmony with nature and the changing seasons. It is a bright and spacious room and the addition of a window facing the kitchen means that even if the owner is unwell, she can still participate in family life from her bed. A bespoke bathroom and dressing room have been created behind the bedroom, dominated on one side by the views over the gardens and on the other by the large walk-in shower. The room is completed by an elegant sink unit and an imported Japanese toilet that does all the things we have all been told it does! At the other end of the house, beyond the front hall, there is a practical laundry room, that also contains the hot water cistern and gives access to the garage and the carport. On this side of the house, we also find the three further bedrooms. The first of these has a private shower room, a walk-in closet and French doors opening onto the terrace. There is a separate toilet in the hall, and the two further bedrooms share another beautifully appointed shower room. All the bedrooms have a view over the pool and the gardens, as well as direct access. Terrace & pool One of the most stunning features of this property is clearly the 200 m² terrace; the bespoke tiles in swirling blues, greys and light browns give the impression that the swimming pool set in the middle is floating in a warm sea. The owners have installed two adorable Savanelodges on the terrace that emphasize the feeling of being in a luxury resort. And as there is a retractable cover on the pool, it is possible to keep the water at a pleasant temperature far beyond the usual bathing season. There are also four retractable awnings set along the wall facing the terrace so that even on the hottest days there is as much shade as possible. The garden The owners have planted an extensive selection of shrubs and trees around the property. There is an automatic watering system installed around the terrace and throughout the grounds, and there are also taps in various strategic locations all around the garden. A path that leads all around the outside of the garden so that all areas are easily accessible on foot and by tractor. The property is entirely private, fenced, and with electric gates, and as it is situated outside the town, the location is very quiet. The lawns are beautifully maintained, the paths are perfectly weeded, and the pebbled driveway is also immaculate. Here at Bliss We found this to be an extraordinary house in many ways. The feeling of lightness and spaciousness one feels throughout, combined with the huge picture windows facing the gardens, give the impression that the green lawns and trees are a part of the living space, so that you feel that there are no barriers between you and the nature that surrounds you. It must be a wonderfully pleasant place to live, in winter and summer alike. The terrace and pool are pure luxury and ideal for entertaining, in fact your guests will probably never want to leave!

Panoramic views and classic formal gardens Overview This property has all you could ever want; a large, roomy manor house built in local stone and preserving many original features, an elegant formal garden complete with fishpond, a large swimming pool, a charming half-timbered dovecote, a lake, a large barn and even woodland walks. The location is ideal, as we are at the top of a hill with far-reaching views on two sides, and yet the house feels protected by the woodlands behind it and the abundance of mature trees in the surrounding park. The approach to this property is peerless: A long winding driveway, partially walled and shaded by tall pine trees, leads us up to the top of a wide promontory where we can glimpse the imposing manor house through the trees. We first pass a large pond, sheltered by trees, and then well-tended fields on both sides of the drive. At the top of the hill, we can choose to go right and explore the perfectly preserved Gascon dovecote: Set on tall stone pillars and topped by a tiny tower, this delightful little building has stood here for centuries overlooking the fields and woods laid out at its feet. Once we pass the dovecote, the road curves up to the left, past a charming formal garden surrounding a stone lily pond, a large stone barn and another smaller pond. We park just past the house, in a shady parking area with room for at least six cars and turn to view the house itself. We are faced with a substantial stone two-storey property with a large walled courtyard. The façade is in excellent condition and projects a real feeling of settled elegance. Large, white-painted wooden shutters frame each window and there are flowering roses on one side. The property is L-shaped, and until now several generations have lived here together, so at this time there are two separate dwellings, with connecting doors on both the ground floor and the first floor. The way in which the property has been divided makes it very easy to revert to one large family home. The house – part one The house is open to the gorgeous gardens from a number of the ground floor rooms and consequently there are terraces all around the house where the residents can choose to be in the sun or the shade, depending on the time of day and the weather. As the house is currently divided in two, we will visit the main house first, and then the adjoining, slightly smaller, living space. We enter through the front door to the main hall of the house, where the grandparents lived for many years. Here we find a stunning stone staircase with wrought iron balustrades that curve up to an open landing. The floors are beautiful, and the stone walls give this space a feel of stability and tradition that is emphasized by the huge tapestry hanging from one wall. From here we are drawn to the large living room which is a delight; it features flagged stone floors, two large paned-glass windows, glass doors to the gardens, and a magnificent stone fireplace. This is the most elegant and formal room in the house, but it is also a very welcoming space. Past the living room, there is an attractive and cozy dining room with another stunning stone fireplace and a second door leading to the back of the house, where a hallway gives access to a WC, a pantry, and an office. Here too, we find the attractive kitchen that has retained the original fired-earth tiled floor. The owners have painted the high walls in a matching burnt sienna colour that gives added warmth. There are exposed beams and exposed stonework around the windows and doors as well as the original bread oven and ample room for a large table that seats 6 or 8 at a time. It is a lovely room that embodies the image and the spirit of a traditional farmhouse kitchen. On the other side of the ground floor, behind the main staircase, there is also a large and very beautiful bedroom, accessed through a wonderful carved stone door. It has exposed beams, attractive ceramic floors and there is also the possibility to re-open a door to the main living room (this door has been blocked and the alcove used for shelving). On the same hallway there is a shower room, a bathroom and a separate WC. The laundry room at the end of the passage serves as a link to the second part of the house, where the younger generation has made their home. First floor As mentioned, we access the first floor by means of a beautiful stone staircase. On the right-hand side of the landing is a large room that has traditionally served as a playroom but could easily be put to good use as a bedroom or large study. At the other end of the landing, we access a pretty bedroom with a shower room and a dressing room or a child’s bedroom in the tower at the end. This tower room is a great room for smaller children or visiting grandchildren or could be used as a private boudoir. In the middle of the landing, another door opposite the staircase opens to several large rooms set under the spacious eves, comprising a bedroom, a bathroom and a large library. There is also a large storage room. This is an area of the house that could be further developed if desired. The house – part two The second wing of the house has its own front door, although it can also be accessed from the other house both on the ground floor and on the first floor. It is smaller than the first wing and comprises on the ground floor a large living room with a stone fireplace, an attractive living room and a large modern kitchen with a pantry. We can access the terraces from all these rooms Upstairs there is a large main bedroom with panoramic views and private bathroom, two further bedrooms that share a bathroom and a dressing room. The grounds Flanked by tall poplar trees, a curving stone staircase topped by tall stone pillars, leads from the terraces surrounding the house down to the stone pond below. This is such a romantic and charming area, framed in part by an ancient stone wall and lined with carefully tended trees and ornamental bushes. The pond itself could be filled with waterlilies and goldfish to create the perfect garden retreat or backdrop for stunning family photos. Set just below the house, we find a substantial stone barn that is currently used as a workshop, and to house the tractor. It also houses the boiler room. The main entrance is through a large stone archway that adds a sophisticated touch to a very practical building. There is also of course the dovecote, set a bit further away from the house in the middle of a grassy area, and a recently planted orchard. On the other side of the house, and set a bit below the house for privacy, there is a large swimming pool. Here also, there are stunning views. An extensive woodland begins behind the carport and adjacent stone well. The owners have created several paths through the woods leading to a wide, flat field that is perfect for training horses and even has a lovely view. There is a lot of room for horses on the grounds, as well as a lake. Here at Bliss We adored the setting of this property; it is without a doubt one of the most stunning gardens that we have had the pleasure to present. It is entirely private, surrounded by wonderful views, and conveys an extraordinary sense of peace rarely found, even in the Gers. There are many charming corners, both inside the house, and in the surrounding gardens, that can only be appreciated in person. We were also very impressed with the way that the owners have renovated the property to include many beautiful pieces of stonework that originally came from different locations in the area but appear to have always graced this beautiful house.

Simple sophistication in Lectoure Perched on the edge of Lectoure, and accessible on foot to all the amenities, restaurants and activities of this charming Gascon town, this property presents a rare opportunity to purchase a tastefully renovated home in an ideal location and at a very reasonable price. Overview If you are looking for a foothold in Gascony but cannot manage the upkeep of an exterior space, this might be the perfect spot for you. This property is ideally placed within a few minutes’ walk to a variety of shops, a good bakery, an excellent cheese shop, a number of popular restaurants, and even a beautiful park! Ground floor As soon as we open the front door to the house we are struck by the quality of the renovations of this property. Lovely travertine flooring stretches before us, and the smell of fresh pine wood fills the air. The living room is on the right; it is a spacious room with two large south-facing windows. The floors are freshly laid pine and as such in the future could either be left as they are or varnished. There is a chimney conduit in this room that has been closed off by the current owners, but the possibility exists to re-install a wood or pellet burner. This is a lovely big room with a lot of light and beautiful views south to the Pyrenees. The kitchen is opposite the living room, and this has been completely redone. There are smooth wooden counters, a beautiful ceramic double sink and an induction stovetop. The owners have cleverly opened up the room by installing windows between the hall and the kitchen, so the entire space feels bigger. There is also a good-sized window, and behind the kitchen, a curtained-off nook conceals the laundry area and the hot-water heater. As we walk towards the stairs, there is also a guest toilet with built-in handbasin. First floor A wooden staircase leads up to the first floor, and here there is a wide landing painted in soothing shades of beige. Here again the floors are of fresh pine which emphasizes the light and warmth of this house. They give us access to three bedrooms. Each of the three is a good size, and the two front bedrooms have wonderful views over the countryside to the Pyrenees. The family bathroom is also here and has been completely renovated in a classic style. It comprises a large bathtub, WC, and a wide sink. There is also an electric towel rack. The floors are travertine tiles, and the paintwork is done in the same soothing tones as the rest of the house. Second floor The staircase continues up to a trap door that opens onto an attractive little room with a window offering the same stunning views as the rest of the house. This is the ideal place for a hidden reading nook or a quiet study. There is a lot of storage room here too. Here at Bliss This is a townhouse and as such it benefits from all the positives of town living. It would make an ideal holiday property and also has excellent rental potential. This is not the right house for someone who absolutely needs a garden, but if you are happy to enjoy the numerous parks and squares of the town without the work involved in having your own garden, then this could be the perfect property for you.

In the heart of Lectoure, a few steps from the shopping street there is a place known to all. Formerly attached to Saint-Joseph College, this 19th century building is part of the local heritage and enjoys a privileged location.

Its full south exposure gives it a beautiful brightness throughout the day and offers a breathtaking view of the Pyrenees and the surrounding countryside, a magnificent panorama that can be admired both the large courtyard and from the balcony on the first floor. With an area of about 350m2 spread over two levels, this building offers exceptional potential for an ambitious renovation. The ground floor offers several bright spaces, including three rooms, storage areas and sanitary facilities, which are located outside at the end of the courtyard. The upstairs is accessed by an outdoor staircase, and has a balcony that runs along the entire south facade, offering a viewpoint of the landscape. This level includes three rooms bathed in light as well as an interior corridor facilitating circulation. Thanks to its many openings and its ideal exposure, this building lends itself perfectly to a transformation into a contemporary home, combining old charm and modern comfort. Its volumes make it possible to imagine large open living spaces, a bright loft or several elegant apartments benefitting from an exceptional setting.

Located in a protected area of Lectoure, this property requires a prior declaration or a building permit for any renovation or transformation, with the agreement of the Architects of France. Combining character and modernity, this building is a rare opportunity on the market, conducive to multiple developments. An exceptional address to discover to give life to a unique project in the heart of Lectoure.

Gers - In the heart of Lomagne, in the countryside near Miradoux, a lovely charterhouse on more than one hectare located at the end of a tree-lined path with a swimming pool, gîte, and auditorium converted from the outbuilding. The main house offers 320 m² of living space. The ground floor, with terracotta tiles and underfloor heating, includes the entrance, a kitchen that has preserved its beautiful Gascon fireplace, sanded beams, and stone sink, a bedroom, a shower room, the laundry-room-heating room, and a living room opening onto the covered terrace facing west. At the back of the charterhouse, a large tiled room provides an ideal reception space for gathering friends and family. Upstairs, you will find a large landing, a magnificent master suite with dressing room, and another bedroom. It is a very comfortable house. Heating is provided by a DE DIETRICH oil condensing boiler. In the outbuilding, the former barn serves as a workshop and garage. A duplex gîte of 37.50 m² has been created there, as well as a 35 m² auditorium and a climate-controlled cellar. The park, which features a large heated swimming pool, is pleasantly wooded and flowered. A little paradise in Gers!

Proudly facing the snow-capped mountains from its hillside position, bathed with light throughout the year, and drenched with golden summer sunshine, this property is one of the most historical, and fascinating properties to be found in the heart of Lectoure. With two gardens, and terraces on two levels, this is a house of mystery, of nooks and crannies, and endless quiet corners in which to read or escape the world. Unique and magical, it is a hard task to describe, but allow us to accompany you into the ever surprising and unexpected world of this property. We enter the building from the heart of town and leave behind the bustle of village life, with the baker, grocer, wine-shop, and tea-rooms on our doorstep, and enter an ochre coloured external hallway redolent of a Spanish castell with a wrought iron gate protecting the entrance to the inner courtyard. Owned by the same family for over thirty years, this property has been a much-loved private home. Architecturally, it is an unusual and segmented property, at the heart of which sits an internal courtyard, from whence there rises a monumental staircase built in 1702. The property comprises two separate buildings one on each side of the courtyard. The north-facing façade overlooking Lectoure’s main high street and the south-facing façade, facing the Pyrenees. The North and South sections of the property are linked on ground floor, first floor and second floor levels by covered passageways with original wooden floors and ceilings. The property has traditionally been used as one single home but equally it could be used as individual apartments with a central communal area, or as luxury lettings : with five fully equipped appartements (each with kitchen and bathroom) and a top floor artist’s studio. The building comprises two appartements on the north side, three on the south side, and the artist’s studio on the top floor under the eaves. From the internal courtyard, where there is an old stone well, we descend a short flight of stone steps, pass beneath the south-facing building, and traverse an area where old stable doors currently provide storage for garden tools and dusty bottles of wine. The south-facing garden opens into an old stone outbuilding (currently used for parking) which in turn opens onto the rear street behind, providing valuable access to the gardens for works to the property or evacuation of garden rubbish. A private parking area in Lectoure is much cherished, and it is convenient to have an exit to the southern ramparts of town, especially during the summer months when on Mondays and Fridays the popular Lectoure markets are held and the main rue Nationale is blocked for vehicular access.

Everything you could want in the heart of Lectoure Overview Lectoure is the kind of village people daydream about living in: set atop a hill in the midst of well-tended fields (yes, there are sunflowers in the summer!), this place has been built over the centuries in soft honey-coloured stone, each generation adding another layer, another story to the richness of its history. The village has a lively weekly market, several renowned restaurants, a wonderful selection of quirky and interesting shops, and even a thermal spa. This property offers the rare opportunity to live in the heart of Lectoure while still enjoying the lifestyle of a country home. House We access the house from the street-level front door, and pass into an attractively renovated front hall and cloakroom area. A set of stairs leads up to the first floor, where the main living space is located. We will come back to the ground floor later, but for now we will proceed upstairs, where a central hall gives us access to the star feature of this property, the spacious and light-filled open plan kitchen/dining room. This room is a delight, from the warm travertine tiled floor to the large fitted island that serves as workspace. The walls are painted a soft white and there are large picture windows on two sides. The kitchen is entirely equipped and has ample room for a large table that easily seats eight or more diners. A glass door opens onto a large beautiful terrace that is only accessible from the kitchen. This area has a privacy fence and large thriving potted trees which add both shade and intimacy. A second door on the other side of the kitchen leads to a pretty little terrace, ideal for a morning coffee break, and stairs down to the garden. Off the kitchen there is an open plan living room with a large insert for those who love to light a fire on winter evenings. There are two windows facing the road for added light, and exposed stone walls where the owner displays some of her extensive art collection. This space is both welcoming and contemporary. As it is open to the kitchen, it is ideal for dinner parties, as the guests can circulate freely between the kitchen, the living room, and the terrace. On the other side of the house, we find a large double height bedroom with unimpeded views over the surrounding countryside and the garden. This is the master bedroom, and with good reason, as the views are wonderful. Exposed beams and stone walls add warmth and there is a large closet. Next to the bedroom we find a laundry room that doubles as a boot room and also has wonderful views. On this floor there is also a second bedroom which is currently used as an office. Here there are equally stunning views from two big picture windows. The bathroom has attractive white tiles and includes a bath, a separate shower, and a built-in vanity with sink. There is a separate WC in the hallway. Second floor This is the perfect area to house guests, or for children to have their own private living space. A hall opens on one side to two good-sized bedrooms, both with skylights and AC units, and a large shared shower room which also has a skylight. A big third bedroom runs the width of the house and is currently in use as a guest living room. Here there is a skylight and a dormer window with views over the countryside. We can envision this space as a children’s playroom or a TV room, for those who do not need this many bedrooms. The ground floor On the ground floor of the property is a large room with attached WC and storage room that has been used for multiple purposes over the years and centuries, including a shop, a popular art gallery and a restaurant. As this space has a separate external door, it would work perfectly for anyone who has a liberal profession, or requires a studio or workshop. There are also two garages on the ground floor – one houses a listed brick bread oven and serves as a boiler room and both are currently used for storage. Each one has ample room for a good-sized car. In one of the garages, there is a space that could be used to install an elevator, with the relevant planning permission. Gardens Unlike most houses in Lectoure, this property has a garden – and a swimming pool! The owner has planted the garden with flowering shrubs and a variety of bulbs which come to life in the spring in a riot of colour. There is also an original well and several mature trees. The swimming pool, although technically above ground, is built-in with wooden decking and has all the necessary permits. It is a real luxury to be able to float in the pool on a summer day while at the same time having a view over the countryside as well as the cathedral! The garden is accessible from the main house through the kitchen, and also from the ground floor through the back door. Here at Bliss This property has everything you need for a comfortable life in the heart of one of the most beloved villages of Gascony. It is charming and elegant, and offers the possibility to work from home. It is a real oasis of calm, and it feels like a privilege to be able to sit and contemplate the stillness of the countryside while only a few steps from a listed cathedral.

A chateau, redesigned in the 18th century, with large annexes, a 1,200m² floor area and 14 hectares of grounds with a moat in France’s Gers department, 100 kilometres from Toulouse. You reach the 14-hectare property from a country road that edges its west side. A low stone wall protects a front section of the grounds where many outhouses stand. A shady path lined with towering horse chestnuts crosses a grassy expanse and leads up to the chateau’s main entrance. On the south side, a long separate building made of rubble stone demarcates this front section and marks the edge of the property. Storehouses lie at the sides of the grounds. These structures have been partly renovated to become a caretaker’s lodge and a workshop space, but much of the roofing on them needs to be restored. On the north side of the grounds, a small house with a dovecote and walls of repointed exposed stonework stands among farming annexes that include vast barns and other buildings. On the east side of this front section, a two-storey building with a tiled roof separates the old farm complex from the chateau, giving the latter complete privacy and calm. The chateau lies beyond a tall wrought-iron gate that stands in a covered carriage entrance. The edifice dates back to the Middle Ages and the time when the lords of Armagnac reigned here. It was built in the centre of its grounds, surrounded by a gravel terrace. A chapel protrudes at a right angle to the main section at the chateau’s east end. And a wing of annexes with a covered carriage entrance extends at the edifice’s west end. This wing is flanked with an adjoining tower crowned with a windmill. A remarkable mechanism in this section brought running water to the property at the end of the 19th century. The mechanism was invented by Élie Coulange, the property’s owner at the time. An ornamental pond and stone pedestals supporting bronze vestals echo the typically 18th-century traits of the chateau’s south and east walls. These statues were ordered by the famous countess Marie-Jacqueline de Biran d'Armagnac. Beyond the ornamental garden, and hidden behind a hedge, lies a swimming pool with a clear view of the surrounding countryside. The grounds are as majestic as the edifice: the vast plot is punctuated with wells, water-filled moats and a wide range of age-old trees, including cedars that line a long path.

Near Lectoure and Agen, medieval château from the XIII century and alterations from the early renaissance of the XVI century. This 950 m² château listed monuments historiques which has conserved many of its original features presents a unique opportunity to restore. The former moat, sentry tower with archer slits, the entrance bridge formerly a drawbridge remind its original defensive purpose while the hexagonal dungeon tower, the renaissance galery, the spiral stone staircase, the cloister and the chapel show the alteration from the renaissance period. The chateau boasts 25 rooms including a guards room, empire style reception rooms, a gallery, 9 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, vaulted stone cellars, a chapel. In the park crossed by a river, there are century old trees, a mill house, outbuildings, a XVI century dovecote. On the land of the property, there are 4 farmhouses to repair, 156 hectares of cultivated land and partly under irrigation and 48 hectares of woodland.

A carefully renovated 15th and 18th century residence, its outbuildings and its garden, nestled in a renowned historic city in the north of Gers, between Toulouse and Bordeaux. The edifice’s layout is typical of others in this town where buildings interlock with one another and stand around inner courtyards and gardens. The property extends from a main street on its north side, where you find the shop space and apartment, both currently rented out, to a secondary parallel street on its south side, where you enter a garage. It is made up of three distinct buildings that stand between two parallel streets. These sections are separated by outdoor spaces: a patio, a garden and terraces. The first building faces the main street. It has three floors with an unconverted loft space. Its entrance hallway leads to the grand town house and to the ground-floor shop space, which offers a floor area of around 60m² and has a shopfront window. The hallway also leads up to the apartment, which has three main rooms and a floor area of around 140m². This apartment takes up the edifice’s first and second floors. The shop and the apartment can be acquired as optional extras. The second building has a single-storey 18th-century main section made of dressed stone that faces a court, which is partly covered. A four-floor medieval tower with a loft adjoins this section. This edifice has a wooden terrace on its south side and a walled garden that extends eastwards and southwards. On the narrow street on the south side, there is a separate stone building that adjoins two other properties. It houses a vast ground-floor garage and an upstairs space with sloping attic ceilings that could be converted. The latter space can be reached from the garden via the wooden terrace.

This charming property, located in the heart of Lectoure, sits on one of its most historic streets, just a one-minute walk from the town center, cafés, and restaurants. With its stone facade and typical wooden front door, the property might look like many others—until you step inside and discover that the layout is surprising, as it was originally two separate houses that have been joined together. Ground Floor The main door opens onto a ground-floor room with a tiled floor. This room is separated from the rest of the property by a wooden staircase leading up to the main house on the upper floor and a metal door, beyond which lies the heart of the home. One can imagine the ground-floor room eventually being used by a professional, such as an artist’s gallery or an osteopathy practice, while reserving the upper floors for private family apartments. Such an arrangement could work well in a highly touristic town like Lectoure, where shops often have this layout, offering the feeling of discovering an intimate space rather than a traditional storefront. However, the appropriate permits would need to be obtained to designate this area as a commercial space. Currently, this room serves as a second living room for the owners. First Floor At the top of the wooden staircase and beyond the metal door, there is a cozy living and dining room with an open fireplace. This space is perfect for hosting dinner parties or enjoying long aperitifs by the fire. With its intimate ambiance, the room lends itself to the interplay of shadows and the warm glow of candlelight. A window in this room overlooks a private courtyard. The courtyard is secluded, shielded from any view except that of the house itself, allowing for sunny days to be enjoyed in complete privacy. One might almost feel transported to Greece when the sunlight brightens the white walls of the courtyard. The kitchen is a square-shaped space with glass walls and windows that open toward the dining room and the courtyard. It is a well-organized space for its size, where everything has its place and there is room for everything. The direct access to the dining room is convenient, making it easy to host guests. In this same part of the house, between the entrance and the living/dining room, there is a second wooden staircase leading to two upstairs bedrooms, both generously sized. Second Floor On the second floor, a bedroom with an alcove, where a bathtub once stood, overlooks the street. Currently, there is a small bathroom in one corner, but it could be interesting to reinstall a bathtub while keeping the shower and dressing room. The second bedroom is larger, featuring deep red walls and large built-in wardrobes covering an entire wall and framing a fireplace. A door leads to the bathroom, which includes a walk-in shower, cabinetry, and a large window overlooking the patio. Third Floor The staircase continues to a third floor, where there is a fantastic attic space with enough headroom to stand and an original window set into the old medieval timber-and-plaster wall. This space is currently used as a large office with a cozy nook for admiring the view of the rooftops and surrounding countryside. It could also be easily converted into a third bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, provided water and drainage connections can be installed. Here at BLISS Lectoure never ceases to captivate, with each of its houses offering fascinating interiors full of surprises. This property boasts the rare privilege of outdoor space in the heart of the town, not far from the Cathedral. All the shops and restaurants are just a short walk away—making it possible to live here without ever needing a car. There’s a weekly market with local producers every Friday morning, along with everything else one could hope for in a Gascon village. This is a historic property with a contemporary spirit. Throughout the house, modern touches beautifully contrast with period features, such as the bright red and yellow tones in the upstairs bedroom. The windows facing the street at the front of the house are typical wooden windows of a traditional Lectoure home, while the entire rear of the house has been opened up to the patio.

Constructed in the 15th century and redesigned in the 17th this sumptuous château was designed in the style of the Italian Renaissance. In the North of the Gers it is located a short drive away from the popular market towns of Lectoure, Fleurance and St Clar. Situated in a quiet location, down a tranquil country lane, and far from the main road, the property offers over 7 hectares of glorious parkland and an abundance of trees. The property is entirely private being both hedged and gated, with a small stream bordering the land at the bottom. The main body of the château comprises eight bedrooms, and a vast main reception/dining-room, and first floor library/reception-room. With a separate guest house. The flamboyant Italian-style first floor “loggia” – with its covered terrace and arcades overlooking the tranquil gardens is an absolute delight. With a paved pool area, 2 dovecotes, and a vast 170m2 hangar the garden is full of interest with a vast array of mature trees, roses and bushes and an orchard. This property provides a peaceful sanctuary from the world, in a location that is unique, being utterly private, and yet in the located heart of one of the most sought-after areas of SW France. Let’s look in more detail … The local area, the parkland, gardens, and outbuildings The drive by car to the property is as pleasant one. With easy access to the local market towns of Lectoure and Fleurance the property is tranquil yet easily accessible. The TGV line to Paris in Agen is under an hour away, and Toulouse international airport, just over an hour. As we leave the market towns behind, the countryside is rich and peaceful, with small country lanes cutting through emerald, green fields, where in the summer crops of sunflowers or wheat grow in an area fondly known as French Tuscany. If Gascony is the Tuscany of France, then this property offers all the joys of Renaissance Italy. Designed in pure Italian style, the property was built by a rich noble family in the 15th century. From the outside very little can be seen, as a thick natural hedge encircles the perimeter of the land. The entrance to the property is enclosed by two fine wrought-iron gates, both of which are in perfect keeping with the château and marking the entrance in style. The château is located at the end of a quiet lane that opens out onto fields, so one is not troubled by any passing traffic. The occasional hare or deer, perhaps. We enter from the side gate to the main entrance, with a view of a splendid pigeonnier or dovecote to our right. The pool nestles beside the first of the two dovecotes and is sheltered by rose-covered walls. There is a water-well with a decorative wrought iron frame on the top. Always ideal to have a source of water on the land, to keep the lovely gardens fresh and green; not forgetting the small river that runs along the bottom field. There are over seven hectares of land in total, ensuring utmost tranquility for anyone residing here. Of those seven hectares the land around the gardens, and the guest house, comprises an orchard (to the front of the guest house) neatly mown lawns, and mature trees. There is an ornamental row of topiary, and a small river at the bottom of the land. The gardens feel rich and bucolic. In an area known for its scorching hot summers, there is a freshness to the parkland, shaded by ancient boughs of the trees. The ambience here is one of lush greenery. As we turn around the chateau to the rear gardens, we catch our first glimpse of the fantastic loggia, a covered terrace with arches running the full length of the property which is purely Italian Renaissance in style; joyous and romantic with its impressive corner pavillions. The main master bedroom opens onto the loggia, offering a morning view over the gardens; a sure promise that one’s day will begin on a note of beauty and tranquility. The Chateau has a joie de vivre which one might not expect from a Medieval building. It is warm and welcoming from the outside with its mellow golden walls catching the last of the autumn sunshine. Let’s open the grand entrance door, and step inside… The main entrance to the chateau is paved in stone with a wooden staircase to the first floor. As one would expect the entrance is formal and is divided into two distinct sections with the original wooden front door at the entrance, and at the end of the hallway a second door, with the intelligent addition of a glass door that allows the light to flood into the hallway, in a way which is not traditionally medieval but certainly delightful for modern living, where one’s instinct is to let the sunshine in, and to keep the warmth inside. From the central hallway, we take a brief look at a large room which has not been restored for any other purpose than storage, but with a large opening at the far end, in a room which is interesting in so far as it is of similar size to the main reception room, and certainly offers possibilities for further development of the property’s habitable area, planning permissions permitting. The main reception/dining-room is a fantastic space for entertainment. With its quirky vaults the room is divided into two distinct sections. The first part of the room (from the central hallway) has a lovely stone fireplace where the family gather. The perfect place for a winter or Christmas gathering. The second part of the room is used as a dining-area. There are large windows to the gardens in both the reception and dining areas. At the far end of the room, a doorway leads into a tower area, with a pleasantly Medieval feel to it, where there is a downstairs cloakroom and lavatory. The kitchen sits a little way apart from the dining-room, for ease, and has recently been completely refurbished. This is a warm and inviting room, with ample space for a breakfast table, and tasteful modern units. From the kitchen a doorway opens onto the loggia. This utterly charming terrace offers views onto the gardens from between the arches and is a delightful place to sit in the shade on a scorching hot summer’s day. Upstairs There are two wings to the first floor, set from a central staircase. Two of the bathrooms are built into the quirky corner pavilion towers. The master bedroom and the study both open onto the charming loggia. From the master bedroom you can steal a view of the morning from between the arcades of the first-floor loggia, take coffee outside on a warm private terrace area, or fall back to sleep watching the light muslin curtains flutter between the arches. This is a room in which the imagination can take flight! Also on the first floor, there is a deliciously private library, which is provides a tranquil retreat from the downstairs reception-rooms. With its rows of bookshelves, and cinema area, this is a lovely private room, where the owners can escape when the house is full of guests. One of the upstairs bedrooms is currently used as a private study but could also be used as an extra bedroom. With a total of eight bedrooms and four bathrooms on the two upstairs wings of the house, we note that each room is blessed with high volumes, tall windows, far-reaching views and many period features which have been preserved. The current owners have carried out an extensive scheme of works since they first moved in, and a vast majority of all the rooms have been recently redecorated or refurbished. The kitchen is brand new. The oil fuel boiler has just been replaced and we have noted the clever installation of the thick glass doors on the lower level that ensure the spacious ground-floor living area is snug throughout the winter months. This property is now welcoming throughout all four seasons and is in an excellent state of repair. The gardens are also immaculate and must work has been carried out to regain parts of the plot that had become overgrown. The Guest House With two bedrooms, a central reception room/kitchen and bathroom, the guest house is set well apart from the house, by the orchard, and is a decided advantage to this property either for lettings or for family and friends. Safe & Secure The property is equipped with an alarm linked to a video surveillance system which detects all movement in the property.

The village is well-tended and tranquil, providing a serene escape from the bustle of city life. It’s within easy driving distance of Lectoure, a lively market town, and Agen, which offers high-speed TGV connections to Paris. Toulouse airport is just over an hour away, making travel convenient.

A rare chance to live in a beautifully restored historic property situated just off the main street of the charming and popular town of Lectoure. With a fascinating history dating back to 1473, this spacious two-bedroom house offers modern living accommodation within a carefully preserved historic monument and boasts some exceptional original features. The façade of the property is exquisite and includes a superb Renaissance carved stone entrance door. Inside, the property has been lovingly updated and is now a comfortable and attractive home. This is the type of house you would stop outside and marvel at. And this is the type of house you would want to buy to experience the best of all worlds. It is quiet yet only a few steps from the shops and cafes of a popular hilltop town with lively shops and good restaurants. Ground floor Enter the house through a large wooden door that leads to a small porch and then opens onto a long wide hallway with exposed stonework along one side. A door leads to a large open plan living room with tall and elegant windows at one end; the windows have been made to measure to fit this space (with the appropriate paperwork). This room also features light wooden flooring and very high ceilings. At the far end of this space is the spacious kitchen, which is both practical and attractive. Another tall window behind the sink looks out over the private courtyard. There is also a practical laundry room with WC; this used to be a shower room so if you took out the washer & dryer, it could be again. At the far end of the hallway there is a small WC under the staircase, with a hand basin in the hall just outside it. This has been beautifully done, and once again highlights the beautiful original stone. Stairs The staircase is a unique and original 15th century feature; it is actually a round stone tower and has wide stone steps built in that lead to the courtyard and then to the first floor. Go up the first few steps and walk out onto the private courtyard where you can sit and relax with a morning cup of coffee or a late afternoon glass of wine. First floor Once up the spiral stone stairs we find a large open plan bedroom with high ceilings and a charming balcony overlooking the rear courtyard garden. Behind it is a second bedroom with tall windows overlooking the nearby rooftops, a large (closed) fireplace and original wooden flooring. These two bedrooms share a large bathroom – with doors from each bedroom, one at each end of the bathroom – featuring a shower, bathtub, WC and double sinks. A smaller room next to the second bedroom also faces the front of the property and is currently used as an office. This room has another big window and wooden floors; it would make a lovely child’s bedroom or guest room. Exterior spaces We can reach the outside courtyard area halfway up the spiral stone staircase. It is a charming walled space with a fountain and a lovely display of hortensias, where it is a pleasure to sit and listen to the sound of falling water. Cave There is a door in the courtyard that leads down to the cellar of the property. This area is currently used as a workshop and for storage. There is also a well in one corner that many years ago must have been very useful for those who lived here. Our thoughts here at Bliss This is an excellent townhouse which is truly unique given its medieval history, attractive façade and fascinating tower plus an enviable town centre location. Having been beautifully renovated with all modern features, it offers a comfortable and spacious base where everything you need is within walking distance. It is a property that would work equally well as a main residence or a second home.

The property There is little to be seen from the outside of the property other than its high stone walls and the solid wooden doors of its entrance, which makes our first sighting of the garden when its doors are pulled back quite special, as the dramatic view on the other side of the garden gate is quite unexpected. Our eyes are drawn along a white stone path to a stone wall at the far end of the garden, from which there is a vertiginous view over the valley to the south. In this respect, the garden has its own “ramparts”, and it is here on a sunny day we sit up on high to lunch and admire the chequered green and golden fields below, spread out in their rich tapestry. The garden is completely private and tranquil, and is surely one of the most beautiful spots for al fresco dining in Gascony. The house sits to one side of the pathway, the old barn to the other. The garden is full of ancient scented roses, with beautiful colours of baby pink contrasting perfectly with the pale leaves of the olive tree. There are flower beds bursting into life with the summer sunshine and with the dramatic backdrop of the barn. The pool is partially enclosed in a stone building, and is thus beautifully sheltered. First let’s take a look at the house. Built on two levels, each level is a separate, independent unit, allowing the property to be occupied as one single house or two completely independent appartments within the same house. One can of course choose to link the two floors via a staircase. On the upper garden level, there is a large and spacious reception-room, with an open-plan kitchen in one corner. This beautiful room has windows on three sides, with views over the valley and the garden. The view from each window is unspoilt and the recently fitted windows provide the perfect framework. Two original doors lead to a large double bedroom with an ensuite shower-room and WC. The bedroom overlooks the valley, and has an ornamental fireplace. A newly fitted wooden staircase leads to a first floor mezzanine above, which is currently used as a study. Returning to the garden once more, we descend a flight of stone steps to an enclosed courtyard below. This area holds the warm sunlight between its stone walls and is the perfect sheltered spot on a windy day, or between seasons. The lower courtyard, and the lower level of the house can also be accessed directly from the village, so that although there are two sections to this property, each has its own garden. On the ground floor we enter a beautiful kitchen with a long stone work surface and sink that runs the entire length of one wall, with views to the garden. The room has two archways, one of which opens directly onto the main reception-room, where there is a woodburning stove, the second archway opens onto an area currently as a bedroom albeit this room does not have a door. This area could also be used as an extension of the main reception-room, as a study, or second sitting-room. On the lower ground floor level, there is also a spacious shower-room. The barn This is arguably one of the most beautiful buildings we have seen at Bliss, and the barn has its own special history. During the war, members of the resistance met here, and made radio broadcasts to London from the upper section of the barn, via a radio set which was still present, and is now housed in a museum. If these old stone walls could tell a story.. we would hear their whispers long into the night. The barn is currently used for storage on both levels. We particularly love the stone steps to the upper level which run up the external wall. Although planning permission would definitely be required for a change of usage, one cannot help but imagine what an amazing project one could carry out here.

A chateau dating back to 1839 with large outhouses and 7 5 hectares of grounds, a few minutes from the town of Lectoure in France’s Gers department. A track leading to the property leaves a small country road on the hillside. A discreet spring covered with stones marks the entrance to the grounds. The chateau’s facade appears at the end of a drive shaded by tall, old trees. The edifice enjoys absolute privacy and calm. It looks out over a valley, in isolation from the rest of the world. You can admire several stunning vistas from the property. These views stretch to the town of Lectoure, perched on its rocky outcrop. The chateau is built on a large gravel terrace with a round ornamental stone pond. The building is rectangular and has an adjoining tower in the middle of its west elevation. It has four flours that can be seen from its east side, lower down. The top floor is a loft space. The edifice offers a liveable floor area of around 800m², spread between the ground floor and the first floor, which can be seen from the south driveway. The chateau was built in 1805. It is made of dressed stone, rendered with a beige lime coating. Its facade reflects the architectural traits of its era: 14 rectangular openings are arranged symmetrically around a central bay that stands out for its dressed stone and its double door that forms the main entrance. The quoins, cornices and door and window surrounds are made of exposed dressed stone. The building is crowned with a zinc and slate mansard roof with hipped ends, punctuated with three bull’s-eye windows on its south side, three on its north side, one on its east side and another one on its west side. The grounds are dotted with age-old trees and vast clearings. This wonderful outdoor space includes an isolated swimming pool, a dovecote, an old washing place and an Italian-style garden. The style of this Italian garden goes well with the chateau’s north elevation and brings out its elegance. At a lower level, there are two large rectangular outbuildings made of rubble stone. They face each other and can be reached via a separate drive on one side.

A discreet medieval house, its outbuilding and walled garden in the centre of a historic town in the Gers region. The property is accessed from an alleyway running parallel to the main street of the village, a stone's throw from the cathedral and all shops and schools. Built protected from prying eyes, it is shielded by the front building, whose sober facade gives no hint of the distinctive character, which unfolds in the various rooms spread over its four floors. Facing the southern ramparts, it comprises a medieval tower acquired by the current inhabitants in a state of dilapidation in the 2000s, a garden on two levels and an outbuilding, part of which has been rebuilt in wood. The main building stands in a prominent position, accessed via a stone staircase, set back from a garden and terrace embellishing the southern facade. To the north, a narrow wing projects at right angles, overlooking a patio. This patio includes a well and is divided in two by a high wall. It is located in the centre of the various buildings in the central part of the old town and provides access to a cellar and a lavatory. Despite the proximity of buildings typical for medieval town centres, the dwelling enjoys absolute peace and quiet, with no visual disturbance from neighbours and a superb vista over the countryside stretching as far as the Pyrenees.
