A stately Gascon chateau with medieval origins set beside a country chapel on the edge of a tiny hamlet. Fully restored and ideal as a family home and with potential for a variety of commercial ventures in the magnificent outbuildings.
Massively built in honey-coloured stone and with a minimum of ornamentation, a north tower was added in the 19C to lend balance to the earlier southern end. The layout of the accommodation with its airy volumes have adapted wonderfully to modern living and proved ideal for a young family. Period details include; metre-thick walls, marble fireplaces in every main room, double doors, fine wood floors and a dramatic central staircase. Fully redecorated and well-presented throughout with a new family kitchen for entertaining. Heating by a high-end, renewable energy wood and pellet burner. New drainage system to latest norms. Independent Loft apartment, Recording studio and 5-seat cinema. The scale and quality of the estate outbuildings are exceptional and would suit a commercial project in the letting or leisure industry or as a corporate headquarters. The grounds, with many fine specimen trees, are laid out with drought resistant beds and an established organic market garden business.
2kms and 6kms to market towns with all amenities. 20kms south of Auch. 85kms Toulouse airport. 90kms to skiing.
