Stone House

Property Description

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.
