An exceptional 18th century farmhouse with outbuildings - professionally renovated over the past 2 years to very exacting standards. The property is set in the middle of 30 hectares of pasture, woodland and river frontage, with superb panoramic views of the Pyrenees.

Once in a while, there comes along a property of outstanding quality, where intense thought has gone into the planning of the renovation, where the tiniest detail has been afforded great care and attention, where only the finest materials have been used, and where the finish and presentation are quite breathtaking. This is one such property. Situated in southern Gascony, on the borders of the Haute Garonne, the Gers, and the Hautes Pyrénées, it is an 18th century farmhouse with outbuildings - professionally renovated over the past 2 years - standing in the middle of 30 hectares (about 67 acres) of pasture and woodland, with superb panoramic views of the Pyrenees and beautiful, rolling countryside, and bordered by a fishing river. All the character of the property has been retained, restoring existing features such as exposed stonework, beams, stone fireplace, charpente, and colombages, or substituting where necessary with reclaimed materials, including some beams from Auch cathedral. Old features sit easily alongside new to create an extraordinary mixture, designed to make an ideal property which is trouble-free and easily maintained, and to provide the basis for a luxurious lifestyle with all the modern comforts one expects with contemporary living. This is a spacious family home, warm and welcoming, and completely private, in idyllic and peaceful surroundings. Space here does not permit a full or just description but please ask for FURTHER DETAILS IN OUR E-BROCHURE. To summarise briefly: ground floor - over 130m2, open plan with salon, dining area, kitchen; rear corridor gives access to a bathroom, WC, utility and store room.

The property is in the middle of the estate, approached via a country lane leading to a private driveway 1km long, thus ensuring absolute seclusion. There are 30 hectares (about 67 acres) of pasture and woodland, with superb panoramic views of the Pyrenees and beautiful, rolling countryside. The land is bordered by 2kms of fishing river and there is a duck pond. The grounds have been tended to offer 10 km of walking and cycling trails along the river and through the woods, in which there is an abundance of game, including wild boar, hare, deer, pheasant, woodcock, and wild pigeon. The river offers excellent wild brown trout fishing. The immediate area around the house is fenced. There is a gravelled parking area with some undercover parking 52m2. An archway leads to a gravelled courtyard in front of the house. There are various paved terraces and seating areas from which to admire the views and surroundings, the largest being the pool area on the south side. There is a brand new heated pool, 14m x 8m, designed with a 1.5m flat bottom to allow for training lengths. It has a remote control electric cover.
