Beautiful farmhouse with pool and magnificent views, a small paradise, that's the right name for this place. Are you looking for a holiday home in the sunny South West of France, fully equipped, complete with swimming pool and a view of undulating farmland and the Pyrenees with their snowy peaks in the background? Well then check out this beautifully converted farmhouse and make an appointment for a viewing.
The House, situated on a plot just over 1,7 hectares of land, is located on a quiet country road. The moment you step out of the car, you will be affected by the serene calmness of this spot. From the house and the swimming pool you have an unobstructed and stunning view of the beautiful landscape and the mighty Pyrenees on the horizon. By entering the house through the double front door, you will instantly notice the authentic red tiling on the floor. This, and the many authentic details, gives the House a genuine farmhouse atmosphere. Downstairs you will find a cozy living room complete with fireplace and a large wood burner that can also be used as an open fireplace. You will also find a spacious dining kitchen with French doors that open onto the veranda, which makes outdoor living in summer possible. There is also a large bedroom, a bathroom, a separate guest bathroom with shower and an intermediate space that can be used for many purposes (Office, game room etc.).
Upstairs on both sides of the large landing there are two spacious bedrooms where multiple beds can easily be added. Through a door on the landing you enter a large attic, which was used in the past. It is empty now, but there is enough space for expansion, such as extra bedrooms, bathroom etc.
On both sides of the House you will find a covered area, one of them is used as a Veranda. The other one (complete with pig pens) now serves as a 'carport ' but here are also possibilities for expansion to your own wishes.
This House is being used successfully by the current owner for rental by holiday guests. These guests are overall very enthusiastic about the accommodation, the swimming pool and the surrounding area.
The House is part of a small village community, with a very active and involved population which regularly organizes activities. For example, every year there is a very picturesque craft market where people are dressed in the traditional costumes and where the various occupations are demonstrated. The immediate vicinity of the House lends itself to lovely walks where you can enjoy the beautiful nature, forests and farmland. Also in terms of culture, the region has much to offer such as castles, museums, picturesque villages and towns. In Boulogne sur Gesse, (10 km) you will find everything you need on a practical level, such as doctors, pharmacy, shops, not to mention the vibrant regional market on Wednesdays. Toulouse (Airport) is an hour's drive and the Pyrenees, where you can ski, and Spain are within 1 hour.
This charming farm deserves some maintenance here and there¸ but you could move in directly and then adapt the house to your own needs. Hence the competitive price for this little gem in the French countryside.

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.
