This house has been in the same family for many years and as such has been added to over time. It has been lovingly restored by the current owner, who inherited the property from her family. The heart of this house is the open plan living room/kitchen. Here we find the large pellet burner that keeps the house cozy in the winter, and the fact that the kitchen is open means that you can cook and chat with friends or family at the same time. The kitchen is entirely fitted; it is relatively small but very practical and efficient. The lovely walled terrace is accessed from this room, and is completely private. This part of the house was originally a bakery with a bread oven on the terrace. A corridor leads off the living room – here the owner has cleverly incorporated some storage space under the staircase – and here we find a very practical ground floor bedroom with an adjoining shower room. This is ideal for visitors as it is completely private and separate from the main living area of the house. A reception area near the second front door gives access to the stairs leading up to the first floor. Upstairs there is a big open plan TV room which is the perfect place to relax with a book or watch a film. It has windows along one side and is very bright in the afternoons. The bathroom has a retro turquoise bathtub and hand basin. There is a separate WC next door. There are three bedrooms on this floor; the first is the smallest, but there is plenty of room for a double bed, and attractive views out the window. The second bedroom has a large attached dressing which could be converted to a private bathroom if desired. The last bedroom has double aspect windows and a large built-in closet. Terrace The sun-drenched terrace is a haven of peace and the perfect place to enjoy an alfresco meal or a drink at any time of the day. It has exposed stone walls on three sides and attractive tiled flooring. Surrounded by a stone wall, this space is accessible both from the house and from the lane that runs just behind it. The large stone garage with mezzanine is a real plus for this house. It has plenty of room to park a large car if desired, and of course there is storage space upstairs too. On a historical note, the garage is built against the original ramparts of the village! Our thoughts here at Bliss This property is a bit quirky, full of charm and surprisingly spacious. It has been lovingly restored and decorated and is in excellent condition. We love the location and the fact that there is no work to be done – it has all been done by the present owner. This house would make a charming main residence, but it could also make an ideal second home. The village is so pretty, it is a delight to just walk around and admire all the lovely public spaces and beautifully maintained houses. It has quite an international flavour too, as it has attracted residents from many parts of France and the world.

In the heart of a wooded, landscaped and flowery park of approximately six hectares, this old traditional farm has been renovated with care and taste, respecting the authenticity of the place. Thus, the old tiles, the exposed stone walls, the large period fireplaces blend perfectly with a warm and classic decoration. => ON THE GROUND FLOOR: As in all traditional Gascon houses, the entrance opens onto a long typical corridor, tiled with terracotta, with high ceilings. * On the left side, you access: - a bright kitchen (32 m2) equipped with a fireplace, - a warm living room (47 m2) - a library office (29 m2) opening onto a south-facing terrace. * On the right side are: - the original barn has been transformed into a large dining room (78 m2), dominated by a mezzanine converted into a cozy lounge.

You will therefore find a very pleasant atmosphere there, enhanced by underfloor heating throughout the house, double-glazed frames (in PVC and aluminum, except for the magnificent arched glass roof at the entrance). The roof has been completely remodeled and insulated. The all-water tank will need to be brought up to standard, depending on the use you make of this property. The site also makes it easy to accommodate the public: parking lots and paths have been created to allow tourists and nature enthusiasts to walk in this veritable green setting.

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

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

Perched on the edge of the lively market town of Saint Clar, in the heart of the golden triangle, this ‘maison d’architecte’ was re-built in 2003. Originally a small hamlet, this property perfectly combines the beauty of the surrounding countryside with the convenience of all amenities and village life accessible on foot, albeit up a somewhat long driveway! At least it’s downhill on the way home … As we arrive at the property, passing the orchard of fruit trees, we are immediately taken by the breathtaking views of the Gers countryside and a nearby village château. It is hard to draw our eyes away to admire the lines and angles of the architect-designed house. The first building to come into view is the stone car port which houses two vehicles and through which we access the front door of the house. Before entering the house itself, we are once again distracted by the views and also by the pool which has been built into the shelter of the house and the car port. It is a wonderful sun trap for those wishing to develop a glowing sun-kissed torso! Finally entering the house, we are immediately hit by the light which streams in from the glass roof in the centre of the house. It shines and reflects everywhere. There are remote-controlled blinds which cover the glass when it rains or when it gets too hot in the summer. To the left of the entrance is a very useful pantry, a WC with hand basin and a cloakroom cupboard for coats, shoes etc. Moving through towards the staircase, to the right, and down a few steps, we discover the open plan kitchen and living room. Again, the light hits us. There are doors and windows on every side of this fabulous space, all of which allow us to appreciate the views from a different angle. We are particularly drawn through the big French doors on to the covered terrace, this is very definitely an extension of the living room, somewhere to be enjoyed through most seasons of the year, and a place from which the owners love to watch the wildlife roaming the countryside. The kitchen is currently enclosed by glass panes overlooking the sitting room, but could be easily opened up if preferred. It is fully fitted and equipped, a very functional place to cook and prepare offerings for your guests. The weeping fig in the corner of the dining area is an unusual feature. It has survived the house being a second home for several years, very robust! Despite the luminosity of this house, it becomes very cosy when the fire is lit. The current owners love being warm and toasty in the sitting room whilst watching the magnificent electric storms

Where are we? This well maintained property is just a stone’s throw away from the centre of a thriving village with full amenities. The property is situated in a quiet area, with easy access on foot to the baker’s, the local café, and supermarket. The village also has schools and many leisure facilities for families during the summer months. The property Access to the property is via a private lane and first glimpse of the house shows the immaculate roof, clean lines and well-kept façades. Let’s take a look inside! ….. The Entrance hall We enter the front door into a central hallway which leads to the kitchen and the living room on the left, the bedrooms and bathroom on the right. The Kitchen To the left of the main entrance, a door opens into the kitchen. The owner of the property tells us that she loves her kitchen, as it is such a practical workspace, and being so light and airy, with doors leading out to the covered terrace, and a wood burner in the corner, this is definitely a well used room. The Reception Room A doorway leads from the kitchen directly into the main sitting-room. This is another light-filled room with large French windows which allow sunlight to flood in all day long. There is an open fireplace which would make the room very cosy in the winter. The 3 bedrooms & shower-room To the right of the main entrance, along the corridor, there are three double bedrooms which share a modern shower-room. The Garage/Workshop At the far end of the corridor, the door leads into the garage part of which doubles as a utility room. Behind the garage is a very useful workshop. The Exterior The enclosed garden provides lots of interesting areas in which to enjoy the sun, to have some quiet reading time, to grow your own vegestables, and has the perfect place to dine with family and friends under a covered terrace; there are so many ways to enjoy this easily maintained garden. Our thoughts here at Bliss This is a rare gem for those looking to be in a lively village, with a good sized garden. It is perfect as a full-time residence as every room is spacious. Retirees may appreciate the one-level living accommodation, which is surprisingly hard to find with shops on foot and at such an interesting price. Home seekers in search of a low maintenance holiday home will also appreciate the many benefits of this property. What we like best … We love the light and airy feel of the property and the garden which is really a wonderful extra outdoor summer living room, with plenty of shade provided on the covered terrace. The house has been beautifully looked after by the current owners, and the contemporary feel adds to its charm and practicality.

Boasting a prime location with far-reaching views in the heart of a highly sought-after Gascon village, this picturesque abode offers the perfect blend of rural tranquility and village life. Home to a family of three with a dog - this property is ideal as a main residence or as a holiday bolt-hole, with easy access to may countryside walks around the nearby countryside. We enter the property via a private courtyard whose ancient stone walls form an intimate and private space in which to entertain; the perfect miniature garden in which to display a collection of potted plants or in which to dine on a heady summer’s night. Small enough for easy maintenance, spacious enough for outdoor dining and relaxation in the sun, this area once comprised a first floor wooden terrasse which could potentially be re-instated in metal or wood. (Planning may be required). Certainly what this garden may lack in size, it gains in charm, being very much an additional reception-room in the summertime. From the stone courtyard we enter the house via a side door which opens onto a small hallway. Here there is a downstairs laundry room and a handy storage area. Shedding our coats, we turn to the spacious reception room which overlooks a tiny medieval street. The room is toasty warm, thanks the wood-burning stove installed by the current owners. Of note are the large glass windows which open onto the street from the reception room and allow a stream of sunlight into the room. The kitchen is a delightful area that has the “feel” of a multifunctional reception room, with a central moveable island, a dining-room area and a panoramic view of the valley to the north. The current owners would have fitted a second wood-burning stove into this room had they stayed. On the first floor an impressive master bedroom overlooks the tiny medieval village street. This fabulous room has an open-plan bathroom with a tub and sink. There is also a private ensuite WC for the parents. The family showroom shared by the other two first floor bedrooms sits in the middle of the landing. This room has a lovely view over the internal courtyard - and potentially with a rejig, one could position a bath tub in a prime position to enjoy the view. The two remaining bedrooms overlook the valley with far reaching views. One is currently used as a music room, the other a teenage bedroom : both are of a good size either as two children’s rooms - or perhaps one could be used as a study. However you choose to make use of the first floor bedrooms, the light is good and the views in both directions too. The top floor has a special surprise reserved for guests to the house. A hideaway in the eaves, a cosy nook in which to retreat, this room has the joyous playfulness of a secret den, tucked up high in the rooftop and oblivious to the stirrings of the world below. Guests who enjoy a quirky nest will feel safe and coddled by the intimate walls of this little hideaway. This room will appeal to anyone young of heart and remain entirely inaccessible to anyone who isn’t surefooted. Up on high, the bed is custom built on a platform. There is a small shower room in one corner- while WC is accessible on the first floor.

A house with a garden, patios, an outbuilding, a shop space and an apartment, nestled in the historical town of Lectoure in France’s Gers department. 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 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.

Very close to the magnificent town of Lectoure, with its shops, schools and thermal baths, this splendid contemporary house was built in 2017 on a 2000 m² plot, enjoying superb views of the countryside and the Pyrenees. Beautifully furnished and decorated, the 160 m² house opens onto a large 60 m² living room bathed in light, benefiting from large bay windows opening onto a terrace and panoramic views of the countryside and the Pyrenees mountain range. The 20 m² open-plan kitchen is fully equipped, fitted and very functional, and also opens onto a bay and a bioclimatic covered terrace.

This magnificent Gascon Château sits in the heart of rolling countryside and has been treasured by the same family for several generations. With its foundations in the Middle Ages, circa 1479, these old stone walls have observed the centuries pass by and observed each generation adapt the building according to the needs and innovations of its time. The most remarkable of these modifications was the extension of the original château before the French Revolution by the Comtesse de Beaumont, a courtesan of the court, who, forced to flee from court and to return home to Gascony, (one wonders at the actions that led to the wrath of the Queen?), later hosted political refugees herself, fleeing the bloodshed of Paris and the reign of terror in 1789. Later throughout the 20th century and war with Germany, the chateau once again offered sanctuary to those in need. In the second world war a Jewish refugee by the name of Irène Lezorviez, was hidden here. As a sign of recognition a tree was planted in 1987 in Jerusalem as a sign of recognition to the Gascon French resistance. The Comtesse de Beaumont was the person to make the greatest contribution to the development of the Château as we know it today. Bringing back home with her the notions of fine living she had experienced at court, the Comtesse was anxious to create a similar splendour in rural Gascony. This might have been a rural and working estate, but the Comtesse made additions to ensure that it was transformed into a place of beauty and the ideal place to host parties, with the addition of the 18th century wing which forms the main building today, to the addition of the stone turrets with their far reaching views, to the development of the stunning parkland with its tree-lined avenues in the shape of a star, leading to the bronze statue of Diane the huntress, and last but not least, the construction of the delicate and ornamental chapel where current owners of this family have married. During her time at the Château many parties were hosted here, and it is a testimony to the longevity of the Gascons themselves, that having escaped the Revolution, the Comtesse lived on until the fine age of one hundred years! Each successive generation has brought change and innovation to the park and buildings, with various additions; for example, the innovative water-pump and windmill, to the complete renewal of the roof as we see them today by the current owners. This property was the first to experience the joys of running water and has traditionally been the residence of a succession of innovative and inspirational residents. With its towers, pigeonniers, moat and wine chai, as well as being a place of beauty, we are reminded that this Château is also a testament to the rich agricultural architecture of Gascony. Brought to market for the first time in centuries by BLISS IMMOBILIER since 1881, this is a rare and extraordinary opportunity to enjoy not only an incredible building and park, but to experience French history first-hand. Some of the original furniture remains, including the commode at the entrance hall with its grand mirror, installed by the Comtesse so that she might check her appearance before leaving through the grand front door. As you glance at the mirror today, and see your own reflection, it is easy to sense the rustle of the skirts of the Comtesse behind you in the grand hallway and imagine her elegant figure sweeping across the magnificent original tiled floor. These rooms are alive with history, in a place which time has somehow managed to forget. Whether your project is to develop a business suitable to the 21st century within these walls, and to bring the rooms alive with conferences or luxury guest suites for guests visiting this wonderful corner of southwest France, or whether you are someone who simply craves the joy and of stepping back in time and living a part of your life where so many others have left their imprint before, we cannot know. What we can promise, is that this is a rare opportunity to live in a place of immense beauty. Climb to the top of the high stone turret and survey the dizzying view of your magnificent 4,6-hectare park, with far reaching views as far as the eye can see on all four sides. Admire the old oak trees which are hundreds of years old, the likes of which could never grow within a single lifetime. Welcome to your own personal opportunity to become chatelain or chatelaine of this fine Gascon château. More photos and information as well as a film on our Bliss real estate website

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.
