Elegant Village House with Views

Property Description

Ref. 12011367940 A beautiful manor house located in a village in the South of Gers, offering spacious, elegant, and light-filled rooms. Magnificent views.

Situated on the south side of this fortified village, which stretches along the crest of a hill overlooking the Gers countryside and, beyond, the Pyrenees, this former convent building comprises a main house, an adjoining former chapel (now deconsecrated) on one side, and a very large detached building used as a garage/workshop on the other. Lovely sunny terraced garden.

The renovation has preserved the original features (woodwork, moldings, fireplace, wooden floors) of this 18th-century manor house, now functional, comfortable, and easy to live in. High ceilings throughout.

The main building comprises a spacious entrance hall leading to the living and dining rooms, which open directly onto the garden and a covered side terrace, ideal for summer meals, complete with a well. There is also a large, fully equipped kitchen with a dining area.

The beautiful central staircase leads to a wide landing, off which are three bedrooms (including a master suite with a recently renovated shower room and dressing room), and a family bathroom.

What was once a chapel is accessible from inside the house, halfway up the central staircase, or from the outside via a separate entrance richly decorated with terracotta motifs from Toulouse. This section includes an entrance hall, a large office/library, and two smaller rooms on the ground floor. Above, in what would have been the loggia used during Mass, a large space remains to be converted. Note the characteristic wall decorations typical of 19th-century religious buildings (in part).

A large garage with an automatic roller shutter completes the built portion of the property. A small adjoining workshop opens onto one of the terraces.

The terraced garden is completely private and boasts magnificent panoramic views of the countryside and the Pyrenees.

This well-maintained house is ideal for a family living there year-round or for holiday stays. We also offer the possibility of hosting guests.

The village, located on the Way of St. James (Arles route), is lively, with a grocery store/café, pharmacy, doctor's office, and various cultural activities. Local traditions are preserved, such as the "pouloio," a banquet held for the villagers on the first Sunday of November.

Nearby, Auch is approximately 30 km away. Marciac and its international jazz festival are 25 km away. The bustling town of Mirande is about 12 km away.
