This
is a Manor house, in Southwest France, dating from the 18th century. The
property consists of the main Manor house itself and a 3 double bedroom annex,
which can sleep 10-16 adults comfortably, swimming pool, separate sun terrace
and BBQ area, and over 25 acres of land. The property is situated on its own
hill surrounded by its gardens, fields, woodland and old farm buildings. The
Manor house has beautiful views of the Pyrenees, is 3 kilometres from the
nearest village with all amenities, one hour from Toulouse, one and half hours
from the ski resorts of the Pyrenees, the wonderful wine region of St. Emillion
and the seaside of the Mediterranean and Atlantic.
Description
The property consists of the Manor House and a 3 double bedroom annex, many
outbuildings, a large private swimming pool and 11 hectares (25 acres) of land.
The Manor House can sleep 10-12 adults in 5 double bedrooms. There are 3
bathrooms, 2 living areas, a large kitchen, and a private enclosed courtyard.
The annex is joined to the main house and accessed either via the courtyard or
through its own entrance. It has 3 double bedrooms which can sleep 6 adults,
separate kitchen, sitting room and bathroom.
Region
The property is situated in the Gers Department of the Midi-Pyrenees which has
to be the most beautiful region in France (well we would say that!). It is such
a diverse Region that we have two pages of information on this site alone - wow!
There are numerous and varied activities to please all personalities, including
Golf, Skiing, Walking and Ski-Diving.
The nearest town, 2 kilometres away, is Vic-Fezensac. Although a small town, Vic
has a huge heart, staging as it does a large variety of festivals in its
magnificent bullfighting stadium.
The medieval town of Auch is 20 minutes away and has some wonderful old
buildings, notably it's cathedral, as well as places to eat.
Toulouse 1 hour away is a vibrant cosmopolitan city as well as being a
relatively unknown jewel of a French city.
For skiing, walking and some of the most dramatic mountain villages and views a
visit to the Pyrenees is a must.
Rub shoulders with the beautiful people in Biarritz and visit the romantically
dramatic Atlantic coast. Perhaps the wonderful sandy beaches and warmer waters
of the Med are more to your taste.
Finally, visit the finest vineyards the world has to offer and if you are
sensible try a few glasses (in moderation of course!).
Getting There
Toulouse and Bordeaux airports
are both within 1.5 hours drive.
