luxury real estate for sale Valence-sur-baise, France

We first discover this authentic Gascon property on a scorching hot summer’s day. Nestling in a small hamlet surrounded by a large plot of land to the front, rear and side the house has retained many of its original features. The property is sold with the walls of an old stone barn, which has sadly lost its roof. The barn is ripe for conversion (with planning permission) and provides a natural and impressive stone division between this property and its neighbour; lending one the sense of total privacy whilst sitting in a friendly, non-isolated position. We enter the property down a long driveway which runs alongside the barn. To the front of the property there is a generous plot of land and trees which screen the house from the quiet rural lane on which it sits. We enter the property via the original front door and find ourselves in a wide and spacious hallway with original terracotta floor tiles, smoothed by the patina of the years. The far end the hallway opens onto a rear terrasse where a luncheon table is dressed in the shade beneath a covered trellis area. Beyond here one can just about see the pool and pool house at the far end of the garden. FOR MORE INFORMATION AND PHOTOS HEAD TO BLISSIMMO.COM

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.

Situated in a small hamlet at only 3 km from a town with all amenities, shops and schools. This charming stone property benefits from a lovely renovation, a large garden of 5,400 m² with a pleasant swimming pool and views of the countryside. On the grounds there is a garage and a spacious outbuilding. The landscaping of the entrance to the house and the garden are idyllic and bring a very classy style to the property. In the house, the decoration is just as thoughtful, and its 218 m² are divided into a cozy living room with fireplace, a summer living room opening onto the swimming pool with kitchen area, a beautiful fully equipped kitchen opening onto the large dining room with its fireplace. Still on the ground floor, an office, a gym (former bedroom) with large cupboards, a modern bathroom and a toilet. We access the first floor by a beautiful staircase where there is the TV area on the mezzanine, then 3 bedrooms, one with its en-suite bathroom and one with large dressing room and hammam. The property has a wine cellar, a boiler room, a garage for 2 cars, and a large outbuilding with 4 rooms, one of which is converted into a cozy room with Asian influences, a second into a workshop, and the other 2 are storage rooms. On the garden side, a beautiful terrace extending from the swimming pool, and a shaded summer kitchen. The garden extends to a wooded area where children will find a cabin perched in a tree and a picnic table enjoying distant views of the fields and the cathedral.

Set in 28 hectares of woodland and 2 hectares of parkland, this Sublime Gascogne has been renovated to a very high standard by a number of renowned local craftsmen. The imposing wrought-iron gate opens onto a magnificent tree-lined driveway that leads up to the property and reveals a splendid park adorned with numerous species of trees. The white stone facades reflect the sun, the swimming pool beckons temptation, and the surrounding forest offers coolness and protection. It was planted with cedars, oaks and pines several decades ago, and invites you to take long walks along the winding paths. The house opens onto a beautiful entrance hall which leads to the living room on the left and the dining room on the right. Both have stone fireplaces, travertine floors and discreet ceiling mouldings. The hallway ends in the huge cathedral-ceilinged kitchen, which has a cosy seating area and a large French window opening onto the sun terrace.

The same beautiful staircase leads to the 3rd floor where there is an office and a large storage space and the attic. All the materials used in the renovation are noble and top-of-the-range: brass for the hinges, handles and locks, oak for the woodwork, granite, wrought iron for the banisters and railings, and stone. The two large barns adjoining the house, which have been re-roofed and re-timbered, have thick reinforced concrete floors for parking large machines, and the workshops have resin floors. There is a 3rd adjoining outbuilding which has preserved its old timbers and wine presses. Two dovecotes lining the vegetable garden have been rebuilt and used to store gardening tools.

Overview A stylish and spacious four-bedroom stone house on two floors, restored to a high standard and set in 5,000m2 of gardens with a pool and views of a charming hilltop village. This house really has it all. It is pretty, peaceful and perfectly located, as it sits equidistant to the chic town of Lectoure and bustling Condom, both of which are a mere 10-15 minute drive. There are far reaching countryside views from every aspect of this property, and key features include its stunning fitted kitchen and large living room, complete with fireplace and double aspect French doors leading out onto the pool and outdoor entertaining area. Adding to its appeal, is the fact that this house not only looks fantastic but is practical and economical too, with underfloor heating throughout most of the property, double glazing and a modern pellet heating system. The setting We approach this delightful home off a quiet country road in the north of the Gers, which is surrounded by cypress trees and has a distinctly Tuscan feel. Entering the private double gravel drive with gardens either side we are immediately struck by the sense of space and beauty of both the house and the surrounding environment. A travertine pathway leads us around the side of the house underneath a stainless-steel pergola, to a glazed porch and the main entrance. This entrance opens into a smart hallway also with travertine tiled floors which are a feature throughout much of the ground floor. The main house The entrance hall is lovely and bright thanks to the glazed doors at each end. Off it is a large, smart kitchen with modern fitted base units, a double stainless-steel sink, induction hob and oven beneath. A quaint feature is the original stone sink beneath a window. There is also a breakfast bar separating the kitchen from a dining area with lovely views over the pool and gardens. Alongside the kitchen, a large living room with an impressive stone fireplace and built-in bookshelves at the far end offers real wow factor. This exceptional space is flooded with light thanks to two double aspect French doors, one of which is set into a stunning arch through which you can access a stylish terrace. The swimming pool sits directly in front and beckons you to take a refreshing dip. To the right, a bar stands ready to greet your guests for alfresco entertaining. Two bedrooms can also be found on the ground floor. One has an ensuite shower room and French doors which open out onto the garden, giving this room private access and therefore making it suitable as a B&B. A charming feature of this room is the old fireplace. Both bedrooms have staircases up to mezzanine floors with eaved ceilings, offering additional storage or dressing room space, which could also work as extra sleeping space. Also on the ground floor is a small hallway with a WC and a separate shower room. The utility areas At the far end of the house, down on a lower level, is where all of the practical spaces can be found - a laundry room, garage, an area housing all of the heating equipment. This area can be accessed separately from the garden. The first floor From the living area, open sided stone steps lead to the first floor and a long, light-filled landing. From there, two good sized bedrooms and a large bathroom can be accessed. The bathroom has a bath, a WC, double sink and separate shower cubicle. All of the rooms boast original beams and wonderful views. The garden The house sits within its own gardens, spanning 5000m2 that are mostly laid to lawn but with a fabulous mix of flower beds and variety of tree species such as olive, green oak and pine, to fig, peach, apricot and prune trees. Some terracing has been created, adding privacy and character as typical Gascoigne stone has been used and planting arranged in between. Set close to the back of the house is a swimming pool with a fabulous view. It is private and has carefully thought-out landscaping and grass around it. From here the garden gently slopes towards farmer’s fields and a small reservoir at the bottom surrounded by trees. What we love here at Bliss Pretty much everything! This property is beautiful inside and out. The setting is idyllic and it’s in a fantastic location offering peaceful rural living,and yet quick access to the most popular towns and villages of northern Gers. It has been renovated and decorated to a high standard and is a clever mix of modern comforts and original features using authentic materials. It’s practical too, so is ideally suited to a family or as a second home with no further renovation work to be done and low maintenance.

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.

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.

A 15th-century, remarkably restored chateau and its outbuildings on 5-hectare grounds, near a former Episcopal city, between Bordeaux and Toulouse, in the Gers department. The 5-hectare property is accessible via a small country road that weaves its way through fields, vineyards and copses. Two gravel drives then provide access to the property, which is sheltered from view thanks to the vegetation hiding it from the road. On grounds planted with many veteran trees, the buildings are situated around a square courtyard at the top of the hill, which provides unobstructed views of the surrounding countryside. The property, facing south and the Pyrenees Mountains, overlooks a bucolic valley traversed by a peaceful river. To the southwest of the main dwelling, a swimming pool stretches out below a 160-m² patio, safeguarded by stone balusters, while a double staircase descends towards the vast lawns. Rectangular in shape, the chateau has two floors as well as a basement level and convertible attic space. Cadenced by many tall arched windows, which bathe the interior in light, the chateau’s façades are a testament to the more recent refurbishments that the former 13th-century manor, destroyed during the war against the English, has undergone. The buildings and their roofs, which intermesh with one another in order to form a quadrilateral, are made out of lime-pointed rubble stone and highlighted by a double row of genoise corbels, while the house’s wide stone front steps, which frame the double-door entrance, the tall carriage door opening onto the former court of honour to the north, as well as the former keep, today topped with slender finials, recall the attention and care paid to the major constructions undertaken by lords and barons from this time period, which in this case were Armadon de Montesquieu, followed by the barons de la Sudrie. In addition, its joinery and shutters painted in an elegant grey-green emphasise the aesthetic unity of the premises and confer the property with an undeniable charm.

There are not enough superlatives to honour this immaculately presented property. Truly the best example of “country in the village”! Well balanced classic design goes hand in hand with modern comfort, creating most delightful spacious and light rooms. All the original features are kept in place to preserve the authenticity. The current owners have done a massive amount of work to the property with an excellent team of craftsmen and architect still leaving some areas with minor work to create further accommodation. A new high tech central heating system on wood pellets will assure an ambient temperature in the winter so it is perfectly suitable for year-round living. Adjoining the property is a delightful terraced garden with lots of different mature trees, pond, large orchard and arable land offering you the real ‘countryside’ feel and being completely private from the small village. A beautiful 4-bedroom guest house, built of the same local limestone offers you another xxx m² of habitable space that looks out to the cosy courtyard surrounded by the old wine barn and large workshop. Further outbuildings complete this lovely property if you want to safely store your precious vehicles. Situated at only 10 minutes from Condom where you’ll find all commodities with the best schools, doctors and dentists.

On the edge of the small but charming village of Cassaigne, close to Condom, you will find this remarkable Chateau with its origins dating back to the 13th century and modified over many centuries. Now reluctantly for sale first time since it has been in the same family for nearly 350 years. On the ground floor it is now run as the main regional Armagnac chateau, where the main living area is on the large and light first floor with spacious bedrooms and the handsome ‘salle de garde’ served as the watch tower in the Middle Ages. From this level also access to the private terrace overlooking the whole village and its grounds with a total of X hectares. A beautiful number of centenarian trees of different varieties offering shade and protection. Extensive pasture and a small vineyard are the cherry on the cake. A very comfortable and recently renovated guest dwelling is on the edge of the property. Completely private with its own garden and pool. A rare find and well-known chateau that could continue as a partly commercial estate as well as only residential.

Ref.4438 - Symbolic middle-class house in the Gers In the heart of Gascony, between Armagnac and Agenais, in the department of Gers, the commune of Condom is situated on the river Baïse. It is the main town of the Ténarèze or Condomois region, bordering the department of Lot-et-Garonne. From the old railway station, Condom is served by three lines of the interurban network, providing connections to Auch, Cazaubon and Agen. Access is from a quiet street, through a walled garden planted with trees. The house has 3 levels : The ground floor comprises professional premises of approximately 100 sqm divided into 4 offices, a waiting room and toilet facilities, plus a private room of 54 sqm housing the boiler room and a summer kitchen area with level access to the garden. A beautiful stone staircase leads to the 1st floor, where the owners occupy a luminous 157 sqm flat. The entrance hall leads through to the right-hand side of the 50 sqm living room with parquet flooring and 3.75 m high ceilings, which opens onto a vast, well-equipped kitchen that is perfect for entertaining. On the left-hand side, the sleeping area comprises 3 bedrooms with fitted wardrobes, a beautifully decorated shower room and bathroom and toilet facilities. On the 2nd floor, a second flat with independent access of approximately 100 sqm comprises a large living room and an open-plan kitchen, one with lovely uninterrupted views. There is a bedroom, a shower room decorated in the style of the old ramparts, and a second sleeping area with plenty of storage space in the attic. The peaceful surroundings give the property a sense of tranquillity, even though it is connected to the town by a small terrace overlooking the River Baïse. You'll find all the local shops here, as well as craft shops and restaurants a little further up the street. Although one of the town's 60 hôtels particuliers, this is the only house with a spiral staircase. In the basement and accessible from the street, the former wine storehouse, now converted into a workshop/garage, spans around 115 sqm and is 3 metres high. An internal staircase leads to the ground floor of the house. 2 large round-headed doors off the street provide easy access for vehicles, with the option of parking outside on the property. The walled garden benefits from the peaceful surroundings created by the creation of a square in place of a former clinic and the proximity of the banks of the River Baïse. The house stands on a 763 sqm plot.
