Grand and spacious 5 bedroom home, which is ideally situated in a quiet and peaceful setting amongst the unspoilt rolling hills in the Gers area.

Thought to have 13th Century 'Templar' origins, the limestone rural house and chapel is situated close to the historic Pilgrimage route 'The Camino de Santiago -Le Chemin de Compostelle'. The house is described by locals as a 'Bourgeoisie Maison' and has breathtaking views of the French countryside. On clear days from the house terrace the snow topped Pyrenees Mountain range can be seen and the nearby town of Condom is less than a 10 minute drive away.

The house has generous sized rooms culminating in a very large high-ceilinged kitchen with large glazed doors and windows, which lead onto a generous stone terrace which is ideal for entertaining and for admiring the best views of the surround countryside and distant mountains.

There are 5 en-suite bedrooms, a stunning entrance hall with a historic stone staircase leading to a reception room, which is currently used as a library/sitting room, plus a further sitting room with a large log burning stove. The house oozes character and style.

In the grounds stands the fascinating 13th Century stone chapel. A year long renovation in 2018 by specialist artisan craftsmen, brought the building back to life, resulting in a truly inspirational setting currently beautifully restored and providing a large comfortable space that is adaptable for a variety of uses.

Through the 2 stunning arched entrances and the deep arched window, light streams into the mellow stone interior, the building is very tranquil and unique.

The house provides privacy amongst its peaceful setting, a perfect place to wander through the grounds of just under 5 hectares of well stocked garden, meadows, and orchard that surround the house and chapel. There is also a generous swimming pool with a newly installed heat pump.

Historic medieval bastide villages, chateau, and picturesque riverside towns are all in easy reach along with a variety of restaurants and events.
