Property description

An elegant, classically proportioned Maison de Maitre with beautiful interior courtyard and stunning views towards the Gers.
This exceptional property dates from 1850 and is the principal house of the area.
At present the house provides a wonderful family home yet, in view of the house's fantastic entertaining spaces, it would also provide a perfect holiday home.
The house is situated in a small hamlet just 4 kilometers from the nearest market town, Beaumont de Lomagne, with all amenities. Other towns in the area include Lectoure, Montauban and Mauvezin. Toulouse international airport is 45 minutes away.
The house is south facing with commanding views across a valley looking towards the undulating hills of the Gers with the Pyrenees in the background.
This delightful property stands within its own grounds and is approached by an impressive gated entrance and a driveway that leads up to the front of the house. The façade is a most elegant elevation with the windows framed by the original shutters. The double front doors open into an impressive hallway running the length of the house towards the interior courtyard at the rear of the house.
The four fine reception rooms on the ground floor and the four principal bedrooms upstairs all lead symmetrically off from the central hallways. Each one retains original features such as the fireplaces and cornicing in the drawing room and the light-filled library which also has handsome built-in book cases.
The large open plan kitchen and dining area also boasts original built-in china cupboards as well as a stylish contemporary fitted kitchen with stone work surfaces. The ground floor also includes a pretty bedroom and shower room.
The second floor is reached by an elegantly turning wooden staircase with wrought iron banisters. Four large, classically proportioned bedrooms lead off a wide hallway with windowed double doors and small balconies at either end. While two of the bedrooms overlook the valley with panoramic views towards the Pyrenees, the other two look out onto the charming interior courtyard.
The beautiful courtyard with palm tree, pergola and climbing jasmine and wisteria provides a wonderful shaded dining area in the summer months. The courtyard is situated to the rear of the house with access from the kitchen and the main hallway . It is surrounded by outbuildings, one of which is an artist's studio and another a games rooms with additional bedroom and ensuite shower room.
The grounds are largely lawn with an orchard that includes apricot, plum and cherry trees. The swimming pool with its stone terrace, fenced in accordance with legal requirements, is bordered with pretty shrubs. The property, surrounded by mature trees, looks out towards a lake and the extending countryside.

The traditional outbuildings (132.64m2), and third floor provide potential for development.
