Luxury real estate for sale Francescas, France (page 4)

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

The Château de Fourcès sits at the entrance of one of the most beautiful villages of France, on the banks of the river Auzoue. Fourcès (meaning force in Gascon) is a unique and picturesque circular village renowned for its famous annual flower market on the last weekend of April, its monthly brocantes, restaurants and eclectic shops. The village, with a mere 300 inhabitants, is a local treasure, its beauty preserved over the centuries and very much a living and breathing Gascon village, where it is possible to source anything from an ancient scented rose, a bottle of Armagnac, a unique piece of furniture; or to enjoy a fabulous meal with local produce on the terrace of the local Auberge. A village so often visited for its beauty, and gentle recreational pleasures, the Château is one of the most remarkable landmarks of Gascony, and one which here at BLISS we are proud to present to anyone in search of a life-changing property, and one which provides the possibility of so many possible business ventures linked to this historical building, in an area of peaceful beauty and tranquillity. The chateau was demolished in 1453 in the Hundred Year War. At the time the local villagers re-employed many of the stones to build their own properties around the circular market place, with is hundred year old trees. The central market place is dotted with plane trees which provide dappled shade in the summer months. This is a place in which people come together; bursting with flowers from horticulturists all over SW France at the end of April, the brocanteurs, eating an impromptu lunch at rickety tables and sharing a glass of local Gascon red at the monthly antique fares. If ever you wanted to feel you are in the heart of France, and time has stopped, cross the bridge over the river to the sleepy town of Fourcès. Building of the Château as we know it today commenced at the end of the reign of Louis Xll and was completed under the reign of François Ier. The building is clearly Renaissance in style with lovely large windows, a glorious pale stone façade, with two wings and a round tower and a square tower. In the square tower we find the beautiful and original staircase. Since 1996, successive owners of the Château have welcomed tourists into the Château, with the current owners having carried out an impressive redesign of the interior of the Château with further development of additional appartements on the upper floors, and the creation of a popular bar/tapas area on the ground floor for guests, known as Chez Boubou, with two bedrooms above the bar/restaurant in the adjacent stone cottage that sits at the entrance of the Château. The current owners also oversaw the complete restoration of the roof in 2020.

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.

A generous 13th century town residence set in extensive grounds of approx 2000 m², in the heart of the Lot-et-Garonne department. At the end of the 18th century, the mansion served as a residence for senior staff members of the chateau, just a few metres away. Built in line with the adjoining houses, it is the first at the entrance to the street. Like the neighbouring houses, it is three storeys high and has a rendered stone facade with dressed stone corner quoins and window surrounds, which are perfectly juxtaposed. The evenly spaced, small-paned windows with wooden frames are protected by solid wooden shutters. The overall architectural style is harmonious and sober. A garden with box hedges sheltered by large trees at the front of the main facade provides a welcome screen of greenery. A semi-private driveway shared with the neighbours separates the garden from the mansion. On the main facade of the residence, a large metal gate provides access to the garage. Continuing on, a massive oak door forms the service entry. The main entrance follows in the form of a carved oak double door with a glazed transom. The gable roof is clad with Roman tiles. To the rear, there is an outbuilding set at right-angles to the main house, protecting it from noise pollution and prying eyes. The dwelling not only forms part of the local history of the 18th century, it is also the birthplace of the artist Raoul Dastrac, a post-impressionist painter from the first half of the 20th century who was born and died in Aiguillon. After his training with Laurens and Dechenaud in Paris, he exhibited regularly at the Salon des Artistes Français and the Salon d'Automne from 1922 onwards. A painter of local life, he set up his easel in Cahors and Avignon, in Italy and in the United States. As he was also an art connoisseur, his own canvases and other collections were displayed in his residence during the latter part of his life.
