Full Description
In the heart of the Gers, just a few minutes from Auch, this exceptional estate combines the authenticity of a historic residence dating back to 1666 with remarkable contemporary comfort.
A former winegrowing estate, this property has survived the centuries while retaining its soul and character. Carefully renovated with respect for its history, it offers perfect harmony between old-world charm and top-of-the-range amenities. Currently operated as a Bed and Breakfast and gite business, a future owner may need to reapply for the necessary permissions and business registration if they wish to continue this activity.
Access to the property is via a private driveway, leading to the main house, the focal point of this successful transformation. The first floor features a spacious entrance hall leading on one side to a living room with two-sided stove, a dining room, a fully-equipped kitchen and a storeroom/boiler room. On the other side, a guest lounge and billiard room complete the living spaces.
Upstairs, the property is currently divided into two distinct parts: on one side, the private area, comprising three large bedrooms, a dressing room, a bathroom and a shower room; on the other, a part dedicated to guest rooms with two elegant suites and a linen room.
One of the property's major architectural features is the double-height glass gallery, crossed by a metal footbridge. This passageway links the main house to the former barn, now converted into two spacious guest suites. The combination of metal, exposed stone and wooden framework creates a subtle alchemy, where history and modernity meet in harmony.
The estate also includes two independent gîtes: one of 74 m² (2 bedrooms) and the other of 100 m² (3 bedrooms, including 2 en suite).
The numerous outbuildings, including a wine storehouse, garage, stables and areas for renovation, offer exceptional potential for a variety of projects.
Covering more than 14 hectares, the estate is certified organic and managed according to agroforestry principles. Its wooded grounds, remarkable trees, clearings, orchard and 10 x 5 m saltwater swimming pool create a natural setting of great beauty, offering absolute tranquility and unobstructed views over the Gers countryside.
Toulouse can be reached in 50 minutes, and Blagnac international airport, located to the west of Toulouse on the Auch-Toulouse axis, can be reached in 45 minutes, offering rapid access to major European cities and facilitating the reception of demanding national and international customers.
A rare property, ideal for a high-end hospitality project, an exceptional family residence or a major investment in a preserved environment.
