Spectacular Country Estate with 360° Views
A beautiful, traditional and classic Maison de Maitre located in a peaceful and elevated position with 360 degree views over the surrounding countryside. Located only 10 minutes from a popular market town, in the North part of the Gers, with all facilities. The property has been sympathetically restored (new plumbing, electrics, boiler and septic tank) retaining a wealth of original features including windows, wooden floors, fireplaces, radiators and ambience. The house extends in total to approximately 450m2 over 2 floors although there is scope to convert the large attic space if required.
There is a charming traditional Gascon cottage with exposed beams, ancient terra cotta flooring and a wealth of other period features. The cottage has been successfully let by the present owners which has brought in a significant rental income. The cottage was renovated in 2010.
