Description
This country house, 30 minutes from Auch and Marciac, is everything you'd expect from an 18th century farmhouse renovated in a contemporary style. Modern volumes cleverly articulated in an old building renovated to measure, improbable circulation tricks, games of lines and perspectives, and of course a certain sense of taste... For 10/12 people, it offers a swimming pool overlooking the Gascon valleys, a private padel court, pétanque, a kitchen with indoor grills and several shaded dining areas.
Away from the crowds, come and recharge your batteries in this carefully decorated country house. With a surface area of 340m2, it comprises a large central living room on the ground floor, with a vast kitchen opening onto the dining room, and a comfortable lounge area separated by the fireplace clad in raw steel.
This living space, open to the outside on both sides of the house, provides access to a shaded east-facing terrace where you can admire the sunrise at breakfast overlooking the pool, and a covered west-facing dining area where you can finish the day with a sunset dinner. The ‘full black’ kitchen, with its central island, also features a worktop-high fireplace for indoor grilling executed with maestria.
The bedrooms are all on the first floor. The first floor of the main house has been skilfully transformed by the owner-architect, who wanted to retain all the exposed roof timbers, while providing several areas of privacy for the occupants. The result is 2 double bedrooms nestled in soundproofed white cubes, and a private alcove at the back with another double bed and a breathtaking view of the Pic du Midi on clear days. This sleeping area shares a bathroom with shower and wc. The other part of the first floor has a large master suite with 2 separate double bedrooms and a bathroom with bath, and a final double bedroom with private access to a bathroom with bath, shower and wc.
The former dovecote, near the swimming pool, is home to a charming and very special bedroom on the first floor (not accessible to under-12s). It’s called the owl room. For 2 people, with direct access to the pool and the shaded mezzanine play area, open to the outside and overlooking the countryside. This room has a washbasin, but no wc or bathroom, which are all in the main house.
Outside, free from any nuisance, the view is almost 360°, taking in the valleys of Gascony and the Pyrenees. A private swimming pool (4mx12m. depth 1.20 to 1.80m), unsupervised, with alarm, sun loungers and parasols, is available. There is also a petanque court, table tennis, darts and a real private tennis “padel” court, unlit at night, (rackets and balls included) on a hard surface (asphalt).

Local area
Situated in the heart of the countryside, between Marciac and the Lannemezan plateau, the house is within easy reach of all the delights of the southern Gers, including the Val du Gers and Astarac terroirs.
The magnificent bastide town of Bassoues is a must-see, along with the Saint Fris lake, the Gimone lake, the Sansan palaeontological site, the Durban windmill, etc.
All amenities are within a 15-minute drive of Masseube or Mirande (supermarkets, bakeries, butchers, restaurants, bars, chemists, etc.).
In season, many village festivals and events take place throughout the summer, as well as open-air markets. There are many producers of local wines and produce to visit, including the famous Gers organic gambas, 10 minutes from the house.
In winter, from November to December, don’t miss the “marchés aux gras” in Seissan, where you can buy local duck products.
The trails for mountain biking and mountain bikes (hire available in the area) are among the best in the region!
