Mauvezin (Gers) - Character farmhouse..

This lovely character farmhouse sits in a slightly elevated position with far-reaching views over rolling countryside. Only 2.5km from a pretty 13th century village with boulangerie/epicerie, post office and restaurant, the property is also ideally situated within easy reach of two lively market towns, and is about an hour from Toulouse international airport.

The property benefits from high grade equestrian facilities, with stable boxes and several large fenced paddocks with water supply, and electric fencing. There is also a training ring, and small dressage arena. A large open barn provides ample storage for hay and equipment.

The gardens immediately around the house are well maintained, and mainly laid to lawn, with beautiful panoramic views of the countryside. There is a swimming pool (6x12m) and a tennis court.

The house is very comfortable and full of character. The front door opens into a traditional central hallway with flagstone floor, and an impressive stone staircase. To the right of the hallway is a double aspect dining room with a working fireplace, and adjacent to this is the fully-equipped kitchen with French windows to an open terrace overlooking the garden and views beyond.

On the other side of the hallway is an elegant living room, again with working fireplace. There is access from this room to a large undeveloped 'chai', which is currently used for storage. Also on the ground floor is a w/c and a good sized utility room.

The living room leads to a study/library, with French windows opening on to the large front terrace. Stairs from the library lead to a separate bedroom wing of the house, with one twin and one double room, a bathroom and separate w/c.

On the first floor in the main part of the house are three large double bedrooms with wooden floors, and a bathroom and separate w/c. The double-aspect master bedroom has an en-suite bathroom with walk-in shower, bath and w/c.

The separate cottage is currently used mainly as an office and tack room. It has plumbing and electrics in place, and could be finished to provide a spacious maison d'amis.
