Beautiful country house of 400 sq.m

Superb location with stunning views

Beautiful quality country house with potential situated in a superb location with stunning all round views, especially towards the Pyrenees, and also with a glorious swimming pool.

Spread over two floors there is 400 sq.m of family-oriented accommodation yet it has so much potential for a sound investment and a profitable future.

Standing on a hill crest among the typically rolling Gascony countryside of this region, the property, with its cavernous outbuildings, is approached from a small country lane then along a curving gravel driveway. Its land extends to one hectare, including well-kept lawns, shrubs, terracing, a nicely landscaped and well stocked fish pond, woodland, a small orchard and specimen trees such as several ancient evergreen oaks.

The remarkably presented two-storey house has spacious, attractive ground floor reception areas embracing some splendid old features, together with four immaculate bedrooms upstairs. It has all been maintained to the very highest standards by the current owners as an exceptionally desirable, gas centrally heated, comfortable family home.

All of this is complemented by an exemplary oval swimming pool and two large outbuildings in such good, sound condition that they cry out for refurbishment, possibly as lucrative holiday accommodation.

Whilst the property is very private it’s also very accessible. There’s a small village close by with a fine, popular restaurant and just a few minutes away is the busy market town of Vic Fezensac and all its popular facilities and amenities.

For easy access to and from the outside world, the airports at Toulouse and Pau are just over an hour away. The nearest railway station at Auch can be reached within 20minutes. Plus Lourdes, the Pyrénées for walking and skiing, the Spanish border and even the Atlantic coast are all accessible within a couple of hours.
