Country house for sale - Close to a peaceful little village near Lectoure, this stone house, partially timber-framed and featuring wood elements, offers approximately 300 m² to be redesigned according to your wishes. It is full of authenticity and original features but will require renovation to reveal its full potential. The Main House On the ground floor, the entrance opens onto a period stone staircase. Here we find a shower room, separate toilets with a washbasin, a living room with exposed beams and a fireplace, as well as a semi-open kitchen/dining area, partially divided by timber framing. Two additional rooms are ready to be repurposed, one of which leads to a former workshop area made entirely of wood, with an adjoining room. The First Floor Upstairs, a small landing leads to an office with exposed stone walls, a spacious library, a bedroom, and an unheated section comprising two rooms (ideal for bedrooms), a shower room, toilets, and a bright mezzanine with triple exposure. This entire wooden wing requires renovation work. The Exterior Outside, there is a plot with a large oak tree that provides shade and character, as well as a well equipped with a pump. A former roofless barn, with only the stone walls remaining, offers exciting possibilities: the creation of a swimming pool, a winter garden, or a sheltered relaxation space. This property requires extensive renovation, but the basic elements are present, and it is easy to see how beautiful it could be with some work and imagination. A project for lovers of old stone, waiting to be reimagined in a peaceful and green setting.

Country house for sale - Untouched by time, this property sits in a quiet village in the south of the Gers. According to the dates inscribed inside the property, it dates back to 1783 on one side, and 1784 on the other. We enter the property through two large wrought-iron gates, with imposing stone pillars to each side. The road is very quiet, leading to a leafy residential area, and the traffic is of little if any consequence in this peaceful location. With 5000m² of gardens, the property has a typical Gascon appeal, with its imposing façade. The original windows are still in situ, a rambling vine heavy with red grapes hanging over the door-frame. The property was purchased by its current owners fifteen years ago, when the process of stripping back the inside began. The current owners tell us: “ We bought the property having fallen completely in love with its authentic features such as the original windows and sink, and its grand and magical staircase. Every inch of its surface area was covered in bright blue and brown paint. Even the wood had been treated with the same colours. These were stripped back to their original wooden frames and repaired. We then proceeded to gut anything from the inside that was not in-keeping with the period elements we wanted to preserve. We also loved the light inside the property. All the three large front rooms of the property have big windows outside. The location is perfect, being peaceful yet non-isolated for a property we would not be living in permanently, we liked the not too distant presence of neighbours in this sleepy location. We later learnt from locals that the grandeur of the property (including the rather fabulous staircase) could have been copied from the design of the chateau, as it is rather too grand for a typical village house. An aspiring builder copied the chateau staircase with the minstrel's gallery at the top.” Today, thanks to a lot of hard work, the original wattle and daub interior walls have been revealed, and the property must look very much as it once did to the original architect, before successive generations of owners applied their many layers of coloured paints and wallpapers. Stripping back the years the years has proven a slow and arduous process, especially as work was carried out by the current owners from a distance, coming over to France for working holidays. The result today is a grand and spacious shell, seeking a new owner who feels passionate at the thought of a blank canvas and who can bring the property back to life and make it habitable once again in 2023. Our thoughts here at Bliss What appeals to us most on our visit to the property, and what makes this property a worthwhile project, is the architecture of the house. A once grand Gascon building with an imposing façade, and a spacious 5000m² village garden, with a further wing of outbuildings extending to the rear for potential development (planning permits providing) or storage. The two elements which are of greatest note internally, are the light that seeps in through every room (most rooms have two windows, increasing twofold the property's sunny disposition) and secondly the sheer volume of each room. The bedrooms, the downstairs reception room (with its original old fireplace) and the kitchen provide generous spaces. The wattle and daub walls with their own oak beams and struts are solid. The house feels dry and healthy, appearing to breathe and without any visible signs of damp. If ever there were a blank canvas one wanted to begin painting on, and filling in with colour: it is truly this one! It is easy to see what this house might become…… but who will be the one to take on this project?

Country house for sale - 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.

Full Details And More Photographs On Our Bliss Immobilier WEBSITE. 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.

Country house for sale - Where is the property located? This property is located a short drive from the market town of Condom, in a tranquil spot. There are a couple of neighbouring houses.

The Gardens, Guest Cottage & pool The courtyard garden is beautifully paved for easy maintenance.

Next to the kitchen, we find a formal dining-room for evening meals or indoor winter dining, a cosy study/ television room and a larger reception room at the far end. Each of these rooms is brimming with character : stone walls, floors, beams and period features. The ground floor benefits from a shower room/ laundry room as well as a separate downstairs guest cloakroom/WC and sink. A vintage wooden staircase leads to the first floor.

Country house for sale - 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.

This comfortable home with its contemporary interior, couples a wealth of period features with all the comforts of modern day living. There is the additional bonus of a tennis court nestling in the beautiful landscaped gardens, to wile away those sunny afternoons with the pleasant sound of balls hitting the court. Did anyone say gin and tonic? Where is this property located? In the heart of Gascony, the Tuscany of France, on the edge of Condom, within easy access to the town for its shops and schools. The property is also half an hour from the much-loved market town of Lectoure, and within easy reach of Agen and the fast Tgv train line to Paris, Bordeaux and Toulouse.

Country house for sale - 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.

Country house for sale - Two Stone Houses, Outbuildings, and Landscaped Grounds of Approximately One Hectare Nestled in the rolling hills of a charming village in northern Gers, this countryside estate offers a truly exceptional living environment—combining authenticity, ecological consciousness, and tranquility. The grounds, measuring approximately one hectare, are beautifully planted with mature trees and impeccably maintained. They provide sweeping, unobstructed views over the surrounding countryside, with no overlooking neighbors—ensuring complete privacy and immersion in nature. To the east, a large terrace looks out over a lake below, creating an idyllic space for outdoor dining, relaxation, or simply enjoying the peace and natural beauty of the landscape. Near the main kitchen terrace, a natural pond enhances the ecological appeal of the property, attracting local wildlife and encouraging biodiversity. The estate includes two stone dwellings—a main residence and an independent guest house—along with several outbuildings and a traditional stone well equipped with a pump, combining rustic charm with practical features. Whether you're envisioning a family home, an eco-tourism project, or a peaceful primary residence, this property offers a wealth of possibilities—all within a setting that honors both comfort and sustainability. The Main House Entirely on one level, the main house is a traditional stone building that blends the charm of the old with a conscious, eco-friendly approach. Natural materials have been used throughout, and the home is heated via a central wood-burning stove, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere while minimizing environmental impact. The entrance, full of character, features an original stone sink that speaks to the home's rich history and authenticity. Exposed stone walls and ceiling beams give the main living area undeniable charm. The spacious open-plan living and dining room is bathed in natural light, thanks to a large south-facing window that frames the surrounding fields like a painting. The flooring—vinyl with an antique tile effect—offers both elegance and easy maintenance. The adjacent kitchen opens onto a west-facing terrace, ideal for al fresco meals in a peaceful setting. Just steps from this terrace lies a natural pond, reinforcing the property's harmony with nature. The sleeping area includes four spacious and comfortable bedrooms, all south-facing to make the most of the natural light. Three of the bedrooms feature warm wooden floors, and two retain their original (now sealed) fireplaces, offering a nostalgic glimpse of the home's past. The fourth bedroom, with tiled flooring, benefits from heat gently distributed by the wood stove flue and includes a closed fireplace, perfect for cozy winter evenings. A simple yet functional bathroom and separate toilet complete the main living area. Beneath the house, a partially underground stone basement with two windows provides a versatile space that could be transformed into a workshop, games room, storage area, or even a self-contained studio. The Guest House Independent and discreet, the guest house opens onto a private, south-facing terrace bathed in sunlight. It features a comfortable open-plan living area with kitchen, lounge, and dining space. Exposed beams and a wood-burning stove enhance the cozy, welcoming ambiance of this charming cottage, designed for fully autonomous living. Two bedrooms offer space for family, guests, or holidaymakers. The first includes both a window and French doors opening onto the garden. The second bedroom is dual-aspect, with two sets of French doors opening onto lush greenery. At the rear of the kitchen, a modern shower room with walk-in shower and heated towel rail provides comfort, while the separate composting toilet aligns with the home's eco-friendly ethos. The Grounds The one-hectare plot complements the property's authentic and sustainable spirit. It combines open vistas over the countryside with thoughtfully landscaped areas that invite a nourishing, grounded way of life. To the east, a spacious stone terrace, adjoining the main house, overlooks a beautiful lake below—an ideal setting for meals, quiet moments, or watching the shifting light across the landscape. Just below, a natural pond near the kitchen terrace enhances the property's serenity and ecological value. A well-maintained vegetable garden allows for seasonal homegrown produce, while a small orchard adds shade, color, and natural abundance. The traditional stone well, still in use, provides water for irrigation and supports a partially self-sufficient lifestyle in keeping with sustainable values. The outbuildings, which include a large barn and a former stable, round out the estate harmoniously. These can be used as workshops, storage, housing for animals or agricultural equipment, or as creative studio spaces. The grounds are perfectly suited to a simple, autonomous lifestyle or to activities closely connected to the land—whether permaculture, rural tourism, or artisanal pursuits. Here at Bliss We were truly moved by the balance this property strikes between authenticity, functionality, and ecological commitment. The two stone houses, the ever-present natural beauty, the lake nearby, and the soul of the place make this a rare opportunity. Whether you're looking for a family home, a place to welcome others, or a retreat where you can slow down and reconnect with what matters most—this place offers it all. In this part of Gers, between gentle hills and quiet paths, living here means rediscovering a simpler, more natural, and deeply peaceful rhythm of life.

Country house for sale - 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.

Country house for sale - 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!

Country house for sale - Where are we? Aire-sur-l'Adour. The very name of this town rolls off the tongue like a promise of provincial serenity. It stretches, unpretentiously, at the border of Gers and the Landes, its river winding tranquilly, indifferent to human concerns. The houses, placed here like witnesses of time, line it in silence. Here, life seems to blossom under a vaster, purer sky. It is this fragrance of authenticity that surrounds you. The house stands tall in the middle of its wooded garden, watching over the surrounding countryside. A peaceful place where the trees seem to whisper secrets lost to time. The architecture asserts itself, unashamed. Proud in its character, indifferent to trends, it displays its tall façades and windows that open with infinite deference to the outside world. It is a house of dignity, distinction, a touch unconventional. The wall decorations are a nod to another time. Brick friezes, pebbles arranged in chevrons like patterns from an ancient embroidery. And then there's that small roof, capping the opening to the property. It is chic, a bit like a designer dress with a lot to say. It is this incongruity that makes it even more fascinating. A paradox suspended in time. The Interior No elegance without heels! The house stands on tiptoes. You'll need to climb a few steps to reach a covered porch - guests are not left waiting in the rain. A solid oak door opens into the entrance. We are then greeted by a staircase the likes of which are no longer made. Both massive and airy, it playfully spirals upward to the upper floors, under the luminous benevolence of large windows. Before climbing up, let's explore the ground floor. Blonde parquet flooring, ceiling rosettes, a marble fireplace that would have told many stories if walls could speak. The dining room and living room coexist without jostling, separated by a glass door with bold decoration. A large arched opening floods the dining area with light, drawing the gaze outside to the pool, trees, countryside, and daydreams. The kitchen is spacious and practical. Meals are informal here breakfasts are shared, and meats are grilled in the fireplace. The Upper Floors Let's take this beautiful oak staircase to the first floor, simple and unpretentious. Three bedrooms, a large landing, a bathroom, and toilets. Nothing excessive. The second floor is even more discreet, with two bedrooms, a shower-room and an attic spacious enough to store everything one doesn't wish to part with. The Garden Spanning a little over 4000 m², it surrounds the house with greenery and trees of various species: linden, parasol pine, oak... The swimming pool is the centerpiece, with its large fish-like shape. Generous in size, it blends harmoniously into the landscape. There is also a 50 m² outbuilding. It houses the technical area for the pool and also serves as a workshop and garage. Bliss's Opinion The wooden staircase, the windows opening onto countryside views one never tires of. In this house, there are no superfluous decorations, no false promises. Just simple gestures, old-world comfort that speaks of timelessness with perfect modesty. That, no doubt, is what makes this place so beautiful. Its geographical location is ideal as it sits at the crossroads of two beautiful regions: Aquitaine and Occitanie. Aire-sur-l'Adour is easily accessible via the highway on the Bordeaux-Pau axis. As a result, the Landes coast, the Basque Country, and the Pyrenees are quickly reachable. Bordeaux and its airports are also easily accessible. In summary, this is the advantage of a town residence while enjoying an environment “like in the countryside.” Where are we? Aire-sur-l'Adour.

Country house for sale - Location In the heart of the Ténarèze, in the north of the Gers department, well known for its Armagnac, the oldest eau de vie. It's also the land of the cadets of Gascony, the most famous of whom is undoubtedly d'Artagnan. Within easy reach of the cities and airports of Bordeaux and Toulouse (1 hour 45 minutes), and less than an hour from Agen and its Tgv station. Everywhere you look you'll find villages full of character, some of them listed as among the most beautiful villages in France. A small path shaded by old oak trees leads to the property. Immediately on the right, past a huge hundred-year-old oak that seems to guard the grounds, the estate and its majestic tower come into view. PRESENTATION I, Chevalier Jean de Gascogne, invite you, citizens of the modern world, to follow me to the land of my ancestors. Here we are on my almost 30 hectares of land made up of vines, coppice, moorland and meadows. My ancestors decided to settle here, very close to a small ancient and medieval town that had to be defended. So, in the 15th century, they built this architectural gem! A rectangular, three-storey building made entirely of stone, wood and cob, it is a rare and perfect example of what is known as a Gascon fortified room. Some would call it a watchtower, because its dominant position allowed it to observe and protect the pretty village that was to become the first Gascon bastide. The tower is crowned with hoardings, a corbelled construction that allowed all kinds of objects or liquids to be thrown at potential attackers from above. In the early 16th century, openings were made to let in more light. Rest assured, my tower, although defensive, offers breathtaking panoramic views from several points! 360° views over the surrounding countryside! Windows onto the rolling hills of my native Gers, which so many people love to immortalise on postcards, or to be even more modern, what our young ladies and gents might call ‘Instagrammable' landscapes. My tower certainly suffered during the Wars of Religion when Montgomery's troops passed through, as they did throughout the region. The two wells on the property and the silos filled with grain on the ground floor, in what was the guard room, enabled my ancestors to hold out during the sieges. I myself worked hard, with the help of one of my friends, to save my tower. The restoration of the roof and the corbelling in 2006 earned us a Heritage Award for its preservation. The years have gone by, and we're now in the 21st century, with its overcrowding and concrete, where space is becoming a luxury because it's almost impossible to find. On my land: space, light, blonde stones that reflect the sun like nowhere else! There's no noise or visual pollution, just the chirping of crickets, birds and the occasional frog in the little pond, offering their courtship to anyone who enjoys observing nature. THE 15Th-Century TOWER The south door opens onto a room that was once the guards' quarters. The first floor, with its mullioned windows, was reserved for the nobility. A beautiful monumental fireplace where more than one boar and poulard must have roasted! On the ground floor, we can still make out the grain silo openings. A dividing wall separates this entrance from another room, which houses the staircase to the first floor. A beautiful south-facing arched double door brings a great deal of light into this space. We can also make out an old opening to the north, now closed off but easily reused. The first floor features the same layout as the ground floor, as well as a second large stone fireplace whose lintel has been restored. On the second and final level, we find the place where the town's protectors kept watch for any attackers. It's an incredible vantage point, with a breathtaking view! The framework and roof have been completely redone, under the supervision of a heritage architect, for which we won a prize awarded by the Société Arquéologique du Gers. This is also the largest level, thanks to the corbelling, which rests on the original stone corbels, as can be seen from the outside. THE Eighteenth-Century HOUSE Next to the tower is a single-storey house dating from the 18th century. The year of construction, 1768, is still engraved in stone above the door. This building, as the saying goes, is ‘in its original state', which will allow the future lord of the manor to put his personal stamp on it without having to demolish an unfortunate restoration. It too has retained its fireplace and beautiful beams. But yes, I admit it, the person to whom I pass on the torch will have to love stone and history, but also major works! And at the end of all this effort: what a reward! SOME Technical NOTES The house to be restored measures 117.13 M2 including the attached garage. The three-storey tower measures 261.67 M2 The hangar measures 148 M2 Septic tank to be reviewed Two wells A pond Of the almost 35 hectares surrounding the estate, just over 2 hectares are planted with organic vines.

Country house for sale - Hidden behind the traditional façade, this beautiful village property, originally two houses, is surprisingly modern and spacious inside. The front door leads directly into the hall which spans the width of the house. This first room is currently used as a dining room but could easily be an office or ground floor bedroom if required. Drawing us on towards the back of the house and its south-facing courtyard, we pass the downstairs bathroom & Wc and discover the stunning fitted kitchen and its central island. The light streams in, highlighting the gorgeous vase of lilies which add a glorious pop of colour. Through to the spacious living room with its fireplace, again we notice the luminosity. The staircase leads from here up to three good sized bedrooms, an office and a shower room. Back downstairs and to the courtyard which is, in effect, another living room. South-facing, with tantalising views of the Pyrénées, the space is split in to a dining area, a seating area, a Bbq area and cheekily, a dipping pool in which to cool down and enjoy a cold glass of wine while the sun goes down. Perfectly situated in the heart of Pujaudran which has all basic amenities as well as a well renown fish restaurant, this is a perfect property for someone working in Toulouse but wanting the feel of the countryside, someone looking for a holiday home with no maintenance or indeed someone who wants to enjoy the village community and have shops on your doorstep.

Country house for sale - Just 2 kilometres from a charming Gers village where you'll find all the shops you need. Once home to the Knights Templar, it is now a popular spa resort. A casino, racecourse, one of the most famous tables in the Gers, and a weekly market, so you can make the most of life's pleasures. OVERVIEW Let's visit this charming house perched on one of the small hills that make up the beautiful Gers countryside. Push open the gate and discover this property, completely rebuilt by the current owner in 2013. We are immediately charmed, as two driveways lead us to the main house. There are trees on either side, including two majestic yew trees. One driveway leads to the entrance via the kitchen, but we prefer to continue along the gently sloping driveway, beneath the wisteria that adorns the west façade and its main entrance. In front of us is the whole of the terrace, bordered by a low wall that gives it a Mediterranean feel. It's the ideal place to share convivial moments with family and friends, under the jasmine-covered gazebo. It's easy to imagine yourself admiring the scenery while sipping iced tea or a floc de Gascogne. A little further down, the perfectly manicured grounds could accommodate a swimming pool (subject to obtaining the necessary planning permission). Let's continue our discovery of the garden along another path. Along the way, we come across a second gazebo, wrapped in a curtain of jasmine. A real refuge from the sun, where you can read or seek inspiration before continuing on to the artist's studio and giving free rein to your creativity. Adjacent to the studio is the guest house, with its two bedrooms, shower room and kitchen. Everything here is on one level! It would be very easy to combine these two parts of the property. Let's move on to the main house, and take a look at the shed at the bottom of the garden (as a famous singer not far from here would say...), a good size for storing all your tools and the tractor. THE Main House The Ground FLOOR The vast entrance hall offers a general view of several rooms. The high ceilings and numerous windows bathe the entire ground floor in golden light. Opposite us is the dining room and the large, fully-equipped kitchen. On our left, we enter a large lounge divided into two parts: a small lounge facing west and the larger part facing the open fireplace. A corridor leads to a small bedroom and its shower room. Finally, there is a study and the veranda, a real additional living space with lots of natural light. ON The First Floor A beautiful wooden staircase leads us upstairs, where we discover a superb old roof frame that was preserved and enhanced during the renovation. On our right, the master bedroom has a double south-west exposure, with a south-facing window offering a breathtaking postcard landscape. In the centre we have a good-sized dressing room, and to the left we find an original feature: two shower rooms, one for Mrs and the other for Mr. THE Workshop And Guest HOUSE This building is a real bonus. Perfect for hosting family or friends, or as a small holiday cottage. The guest house is accessed via a pretty fitted kitchen, then a corridor leads to two bedrooms and a shower room with WC. To the right, the artist's studio with its impressive height has long been used by the current owner as an exhibition space, and just behind it is a lovely space that could be used as a studio.

Country house for sale - 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.

Country house for sale - In the market town of Condom Overview Set on the outskirts of the thriving town of Condom, this property has kept all the charm of the original construction. It has been in the same family for a long time and has preserved many of the original features. Gardens House The house is built on three levels of habitable space and also has a large basement and attic which could be developed. A long driveway winds through beautiful mature trees to arrive at a wide gravel parking space at the side of the house. There is a garage here, and the driveway circles the house so there is a lot of room to park. The front door is accessed by a short ornamental staircase and opens to reveal a wide sunny front hall. The beautiful original parquet flooring extends throughout the ground floor except in the kitchen and lends a touch of old-world charm to the property. On the right-hand side of the front hall is the large living room that is also filled with light thanks to three sets of glass doors on the south side. A large balcony runs the length of the room, and we can imagine guests drifting in and out of the French doors on summer evenings and down the curved staircase to the beautiful gardens beyond. There is also a window on the west side of this room for added light. A large ornamental fireplace adds an elegant touch to the room. On the other side of the hall is the formal dining room, which is also extremely bright thanks to large windows on the west and north sides. There is a fireplace here too that has been renovated at some point in the past and the same beautiful flooring. The kitchen is beyond the dining room and while it lacks the elegant proportions of the reception rooms, it is very practical and has a huge window. Garden floor Behind the kitchen, a half staircase leads down to the back of the house where there are two additional bedrooms, each of which has an attached shower room. There is a small kitchen space too. The furnace is also on this level. Outside, there is an old toilet that is no longer in use. First floor The first floor of this property offers two spacious bedrooms which share a big bathroom and separate toilet. Both bedrooms have views over the gardens and lovely wooden flooring. Attic This is an undeveloped space, but there is a maid's room in one corner that has not been used for many years. Basement There is a basement that runs the length of the house and includes a big summer dining room where the family have celebrated many events over the years. An old original kitchen has a big fireplace that is no longer in use, and there is also a wine cellar and storage space on this level. Here at Bliss This property has the potential to become a wonderful family home, which could easily be combined with a professional activity, as there is plenty of room for an office and a separate entrance for clients. The huge garden is a delight, and the proximity to the centre of Condom is a definite advantage. While some renovations are definitely in the cards, this is a house that you can move into immediately and then take your time to do any necessary works little by little.
