Impressive Manor House On Hilltop

This impressive manor with free views over the lovely landscape of the Gers is situated close to the top of a hill. In a region that people call the 'Tuscany of France' we have this stunning house, property like this don't come on the market that often.

The house is quite big with nice sized rooms (25 m2) with high ceilings at both sides of the large entrance hall. At this moment it is used as a Bed & Breakfast with on the first floor 4 bedrooms with each its shower room and toilet. The attic is still convertible into more rooms.

The environment is so lovely and the French people are very social and will give you a warm welcome in your new country. The weather is good nearly all year round with warm summers and a short winter in February. No big roads through the countryside, although the road between Toulouse (airport Blagnac at an hour) and Bordeaux (beautiful city at a three hours drive) will be a 'French highway' one day.

So just relax on the rhythm of life here with the 2 hours lunch and time for a chat in the supermarket.

Behind the house next to the huge barn you will find the large pool. Close to that an entrance to a room that can be used as a summer kitchen (with shower room) with a terrace. The garden is lovely and well maintained. The vegetable garden is there for growing your own vegetables.

The house is not far from Auch (capital of the region with all amenities and activities) and Vic Fezensac where you can do your daily shopping, find restaurants, library, weekly market with Sue's British food stall, dentist, doctor, pharmacy and more.

A must for those who like an impressive house with big spaces.

The department of Gers is often described by those who know France as an excellent area to visit, if not the best area of France for Brits who want to relocate. It is not over-run however and indeed, the department has a diverse array of assets to discover, some of them are obvious; the rolling countryside, very mild climate, the Pyrenees mountains, whilst others remain more subtle like the hearty food, local culture, street markets and Gascon traditions. Foreigners often refer to the area as Gascony, referring to the former French province.

The department is generally an agricultural area where the local gastronomy is highly regarded by both French nationals and foreign expats. The most cultivated crops in Gers are Colza, Grain, Sunflowers and Corn. Some of the older locals may speak a Gascon patois, but its usage remains in decline among the younger generations.

The largest Gersoise towns in terms of number of inhabitants are Auch, Condom and Fleurance but even these are not overly large.

Weather and climate is influenced by the proximity to the Atlantic coast and Pyrenees mountains, the weather can be changeable and occasional strong rain showers are a blessing to the arable farmland throughout the department. The North and East of the department are dry due to its increased distance from the sea and mountains. Summers are often hot and dry with temperatures reaching over 35C, in fact Auch is one of the driest cities in France along with neighbouring Toulouse.
