Known as the Jewel of Les Landes, Labastide D'Armagnac draws admirers from across the globe with it's pretty square and authentic French lifestyle. In pride of place lies this stunning half timbered 'Hotel Particulier', the views from which are said to have inspired Henri the IV to create the Place de Vosges in Paris when he stayed here as a guest in the 1500's.  Whilst the origins of the property go back as far as the 14th century, with later Baroque additions, the current owners have spared no expense working with a well respected architect to gently awaken this historic home and bring it up to current comforts. From the LaCornue kitchen to a luxurious bathroom, stunning sitting room and library to the delightful Orangery style dining / reception room and private roof terrace, there is so much to love about this unique residence. The property has everything you need for a perfect French home or holiday retreat. Stepping out of the front door takes you straight to excellent restaurants, wonderful cafés and a number of artisan boutiques. Only 30 minutes from the train station at Mont de Marsan, 1hr25 from Bordeaux airport, and situated halfway between the spectacular beaches of the Atlantic Ocean and Ski Slopes of the Pyrenees, there is no shortage of access to good food, vinyards and colourful markets.  Set over two floors with an additional Attic space running the length of the property, the ground floor is dedicated to fine cuisine and good dining. Measuring an impressive 52m², one side is flanked entirely with prestigious LaCornue units, lending gastronomic luxury to the French lifestyle. To the other side of the room, a good sized dining table holds host to numerous memorable suppers and shared moments. Up the winding staircase, one encounters a glorious double length sitting room and library with panneled glass windows tipping the eye beyond fresh geraniums to the square and its 13th century church beyond. A wood panneled Orangery inspired third reception room leads out through glass doors to a sheltered roof terrace flanked with olive trees and potted plants. Two stunning bedrooms, packed with authentic features, a good sized shower room and luxurious bathroom complete the ensemble. To the East of the property lies a third guest bedroom and WC, accessed via it's own front door. A large garden hidden behind an ancient wall and home to an independent armagnac barn is found across the road from the property and could lend itself to further development into a guest cottage and pool area. If you are looking for a slice of true French lifestyle, a place to simply unpack your bags and step outside to collect a baguette and steaming café au lait, do not miss this rare chance to snap up this stunning home. Viewing highly reccomended. Information on the risks to which this property is exposed is available on the website Géorisques - https://www.georisques.gouv.fr

In a word, this property is all about the VIEWS. Built in a raised position and dominating the landscape, this imposing country home is positioned to admire the sweep of fields and woodland. The mellow stone walls embrace the sunsets and as is clear from the photographs that illustrate this advert, provide an ever-changing tableau of colour. The skies up here are vast. The owner shares a collection of photographs from over the years. Each one depicts a different and dramatic sunset, the colours never quite the same, all with vibrant flashes of pink, oranges, purple and red. There is a wild timelessness about this view, as it stretches far into the distance without the interruption or another house or building. Sitting on the gravel terrace and looking down at the sweep of the valley, there is a sensation of being on the rim of the world. The beloved country estate of the same family for many years, the property was a retreat to which the owner could invite friends from Paris, principally to party, and in later years to live full-time. This property was the dream of one man, who like the Great Gatsby, developed his home around his own desire for comfort, space, luxury and amusement. The rooms are vast. If you like to spread out, there isn’t a risk of ever feeling cramped here. There are some quirky remnants, the vestiges of another world. This is possibly the only property you will ever find with two 1970s bathtubs in one bathroom, positioned to view a TV screen, and with place for the bottle of Champagne. The property does not take itself too seriously, except in the serious business of space and fun. The walls are full of pictures of parties held there, and interesting people who came to feast and dance. As with all properties that are firmly rooted in another time, and place, it is fixed in time, and with regards to the bathrooms, and carpets, new owners will need to rip away the décor of the 1970s, the personality of the previous owners, and expose the bare bones of the property.The bones are good. The rooms are vast, and the property designed around a central courtyard and a long internal gallery. Some of the rooms have a more traditional feel than others, with fine terracotta floor tiles, and stone walls. Other rooms will most likely want to shed their carpets and cladding. There is a mix of styles; traditional Gascon manor house, Spanish villa, or perhaps in parts something slightly Moresque about the woodwork and the detail of the fret work. A second much older cottage sits at the entrance of the property, far removed from the main house, and provides perfect guest accommodation, or home for a guardian. Let’s begin our tour with a look at the main house The formal entrance to the property opens onto a large gallery hallway which in turn opens onto a central courtyard. The family prefer to use the kitchen entrance daily. The Kitchen The kitchen is the heart of the house, divided into three separate zones, this large and spacious room has a breakfast table, a formal dining area, and has a cosy workspace at the far end with an oven range and ceramic tiles. If you were to ask which part of the house is the most traditional, then without a doubt it is the kitchen. With thick oak beams running across the ceiling, a decorative stone sink, and a choice of traditional fixtures and fittings, this is a Gascon kitchen worthy of any French country home. Currently filled with a lifetime of bits and pieces, there is nothing minimalistic about this room, by any stretch of the imagination, and yet it still manages to feel spacious. The kitchen opens in turn both onto the internal hallway to the formal entrance and to the central reception room. This vast living space, with its fireplace, has views to the gardens through tall French windows along the full length of the room. This is a tremendous space in which to party or sit by the fire in a smaller committee. It is a family living space, incorporating an occasional study desk, and various sitting areas. In summer the windows are thrown open to the terrace, and to the fabulous view towards the vast stretch of horizon and the woodland beyond. Besides the main reception room, there is a second study or library, which in turns opens out to a downstairs bedroom and bathroom. The master suite encompasses a huge amount of surface area, with the infamous bathroom, which is spacious enough to dance in, not to mention its two bathtubs… The master bedroom is equally generous in size. Future occupants to the property might wish to rethink how the rooms are used. There is certainly more than enough space to play around with. The master bathroom could perhaps become a bedroom with an ensuite. It is certainly spacious enough. The property was designed so that the sleeping accommodation is almost entirely reserved for Monsieur and Madame, with guests retiring to the cottage at the bottom of the garden. All rooms are on the ground floor. There are no stairs; each room flowing to the next in circular fashion around a central terrace, like a Riyad. There is a guest cloak room behind a decorative wooden door in the main hallway. The Guest Accommodation At the entrance to the cottage, there is a large guest cottage, with a kitchen, living room, three bedrooms and two bathrooms. This cottage was once the original building on the plot and is rustic in style with much smaller rooms, steps and stairs between levels and a quirky layout. The Pool There is a swimming pool and an outbuilding for storage next to the pool, with a covered terrace for summer dining. The pool has not been used recently and will need to be filled again and put back into service. There are lovely views from the pool and it sits at a good distance from the main house.
