Converted Farm, Stunning Location

Converted comfortable farm near Boulogne-sur-Gesse, are you looking for a typical old French farm, with half-timbered walls in the South West of France? Would you like to live in a peaceful and spacious environment which can give you the real French feeling of being "À la Campagne"? But are you also looking for modern comforts such as a swimming pool, a fully equipped kitchen etc? Don't hesitate any longer! Come and look at this beautifully converted farmhouse with quality.

The farm is situated near a village that is part of the old "Comminges". This portion of the Haute Garonne is adjacent both to the Gers and the Haute Pyrenees. As a result, you can enjoy a rolling landscape with the everlasting snowy peaks of the Pyrenees on the horizon. In Boulogne sur Gesse, (9 km) you will find everything you need on a practical level, such as doctors, pharmacy, bakers, supermarkets and shops, with a vibrant regional market on Wednesdays. A little further away (21 km) lies St. Gaudens, with the theatre, hospital and large hardware stores.

On sporting and cultural levels, this region has much to offer such as golf courses, museums, picturesque villages and towns. Toulouse (Airport) is an hour's drive and the Pyrenees (where you can ski) and Spain are at a distance of 1 hour.

This beautifully restored farm is situated on a small rural road (virtually no traffic and noone overlooking you) not too far from the main road. An ideal combination because you can be peaceful but you won't have to travel too far to do your shopping for example. Surrounding the House is 4 ha of mainly grassland which is excellent for keeping horses (there is even a stable for two horses in the meadow).

The Garden, which gives you a stunning view of the Pyrenees, features a swimming pool (9m x 5m) with a large terrace and a covered seating area. At the entrance of the plot you find a shed with planning permission for extension.

Upon arrival at the house you can't miss the large terrace with summer kitchen (112 m2), complete with a fully equipped kitchen, fireplace, sitting and dining area. You can live outdoors from spring to late autumn! It all radiates a nice rural atmosphere. From the terrace you enter the spacious living room with its central wood-burning stove that heats the entire ground floor.

Everywhere you will find nice corners where you can relax. The spacious open kitchen with a passage leading to a small dining room is equipped with a cooking island with all modern appliances.

On the ground floor is another large bedroom, a bathroom with shower, a separate toilet, a small office and a large utility room. With a few adjustments, this area with its own private entrance, could be turned into a Chambre d'Hote or Gite.

On the first floor you will find a giant Master Bedroom with a large open bathroom, 3 other spacious bedrooms and a side room that can serve as an extra bedroom or where a second bathroom could be created.

The whole is renovated with great taste and attention to detail. This House should really be seen, it has so much to offer you! There are also plenty of opportunities to adjust the House to your own taste and desires.

The Department of Haute-Garonne, despite its ever growing population, still boasts beautiful scenery of undulating hills and valleys.

The region as a whole is a popular choice for an active holiday and the Haute-Garonne is ideal for mountainous activities including biking and walking and of course skiing during the winter. The department has four ski resorts.

If religious buildings are of some interest then the Haute-Garonne will not disappoint. Sites including the Toulouse basilica, the Saint Bertrand-de-Comminges cathedral and the Saint-Just basilica of Valcabrere are on the door-step.

Gascony plays a big part in the department and dishes are based on goose fat or oil flavoured with garlic, shallots, and spices. Goose and duck farms produce foie gras, which is then sold fresh or made into pate and terrines. Nothing is wasted, and the rest of the bird is made into confits, preserves used to make stew and soups.

Life in the mountain villages and farms of the Pyrenees has remained largely unchanged. Their southern climate means that it can be warm and sunny from as early as February. Roads are good and generally well sign-posted, although snow lies on the higher peaks until May and some of the highest passes may be closed. The climate is a cross between Atlantic Maritime and Mediterranean.

Toulouse is France's fourth biggest city and has a very lively atmosphere with a strong student presence. Stroll around the historic centre, walking alongside the Garonne and the Canal du Midi, or stop in one of the many pavement cafes for a delicious cup of coffee.
