Gascony In The Gers          

Set on high ground, at the end of a tree-lined avenue, shared with one other property, and  with dominating views to the east and the south, is this splendid maison de maître, in excellent condition, with a swimming pool and 6000m² of land. There are 5 large bedrooms and 5 bathrooms and the present owner runs a successful chambres d'hôte business but the accommodation is attractively arranged and would lend itself equally well to providing a comfortable family home.

Although the situation is rural it is not too remote from the everyday conveniences. There is a small village a couple of kilometres away which has a shop and a popular restaurant and the bustling market town of Vic Fezensac is a 10-minute drive. Pau airport, wih its regular flights to London, Paris and Amsterdam, is just over an hour's drive and Toulouse is 90 minutes away. Bordeaux, the ski slopes, the Atlantic coast and the Spanish border can each be reached in about 2 hours

Accommodation: House - 320m². Barn - 180m².
