A Fine Stone-built Residence Enjoying Absolute Privacy
Set in unspoilt rolling countryside at the end of long lane in what must be one of the most private and delightful locations in Gascony. The property was fully redeveloped in the early 90's creating comfortable, open-plan living within the walls of an ancient stone building. The historic village nearby offers amenities year-round.
Strong features are the large open plan living space and a sizeable high-ceilinged conservatory in the form of a glazed atrium. The main residence is on a single ground floor level with an adjoining guest cottage developed on two floors. The owners are expert gardeners and have created a superb environment providing interest and colour year-round. There are lovely views on all sides over unspoilt countryside.
The cottage, set alongside the main residence, provides flexible accommodation, ideal for family, long-stay guests or staff. In the grounds a small stone building, stands as a romantic ruin and could be re-developed if required. A 12-metre swimming pool is surrounded by lavender and set in its own gardened area with pool house and terrace.
