Exceptional property in idyllic position
Once in a while, there comes along a property of outstanding quality, where intense thought has gone into the planning of the renovation, where the tiniest detail has been afforded great care and attention, where only the finest materials have been used, and where the finish and presentation are quite breathtaking. This is one such property. Situated in southern Gascony, on the borders of the Haute Garonne, the Gers, and the Hautes Pyrénées, it is an 18th century farmhouse with outbuildings - professionally renovated over the past 2 years - standing in the middle of 30 hectares (about 67 acres) of pasture and woodland, with superb panoramic views of the Pyrenees and beautiful, rolling countryside, and bordered by a fishing river. All the character of the property has been retained, restoring existing features such as exposed stonework, beams, stone fireplace, charpente, and colombages, or substituting where necessary with reclaimed materials, including some beams from Auch cathedral. Old features sit easily alongside new to create an extraordinary mixture, designed to make an ideal property which is trouble-free and easily maintained, and to provide the basis for a luxurious lifestyle with all the modern comforts one expects with contemporary living. This is a spacious family home, warm and welcoming, and completely private, in idyllic and peaceful surroundings.
