Large Gascon House with Pool

Large Gascon house with outbuildings, land and mountain view, well designed layout and good planning have resulted in a manageable home which has so many facets. So, why would you want this home above all others?

Firstly, the installation of 'geothermie' (runs central heating and also cools rooms in hot weather) will keep you comfortable and also save you money. Low energy bills are important and particularly so when you have guests.

When family or friends do visit you will be relieved to find that each person / group has their own area and you retain your own 'space' so it is still your home. Excellent planning has resulted in a layout that works. Something which is essential even when you are 'the best of friends'!

Financially, the house is extremely costeffective and with solar panels for the hot water system and photovoltaic panels to generate the electricity to sell back to the distributor EDF (which can generate you a substantial refund each year).

Also there is a good source of income if you wish with an existing gite, separate apartment and impressive main home, pool with poolhouse /gym / sauna/hamman, people will feel spoilt for choice! And imagine the outdoor Jacuzzi a place to relax and unwind, soak up the bubbles as one gazes upwards at the stars!

There is something there for everybody. All ages, all personalities: water and sports facilities, local countryside walks.

What a wonderful place for your pets ! Cats, dogs, horses : the list could go on!

Selfsufficient (like the TV series 'The Good Life') you can enjoy a natural way of living, eating your own produce (nothing tastes finer!). Numerous mature fruit trees and bushes will burst with their fruitage to your delight! :figs, blackberries, blackcurrants, limes to name just a few! And the 'potager'!

And again, well thoughtout, the watering system all round means you can spend less time 'working' and more time enjoying!

For those culinary inclined, one can obtain local 'foie gras' and 'compote' and fresh milk and supplies (chicken, duck) ready for those spectacular dishes:quality fresh local food!

Most importantly, there is an attraction here that one cannot photograph something intangible:Maybe it is the calming environment, peaceful countryside, well away from main roads, stunning views of rolling hills and the Pyrenees. Rural and private but not completely isolated, you feel totally at ease.

The department of Hautes-Pyrenees is the southern-most department of the Midi Pyrenees region, its capital being the beautiful town of Tarbes. The department has a very interesting geography as two small sections belonging geographically to Aquitaine are administratively part of the Hautes-Pyrenees. The department is split into two very different landscapes: mountains to the south covering half of the department, valleys to the north where the majority of the towns and villages are.

The economy of the department is mainly agricultural and tourism. Inside Midi Pyrenees, smaller areas have traditional names such as the Comminges (east of Toulouse) or the famous Gascony. Hautes-Pyrenees is a very nice area to settle and one area to look out for (not very well known) is the Baronnies, a set of 30 villages which decided to preserve their rural traditions. An unspoilt area, they represent the rural idyll for anybody in search for absolute peace, authenticity and rest.
