Secluded House In Amazing Gardens

What a stunning house! Set in an amazing spot, rural and nicely secluded, amidst the beautiful Gers countryside, with rolling hills and a sumptuous mountain view.

As you turn into the driveway your heart races, for this approach has such a majestic feel, thanks to the tall poplar trees lining each side, standing proud and to attention to welcome you home. Tucked away at the far end of the lovely parklike garden, this spacious home will surprise you because it seems to have two personalities, typically rural (with the charm of a Gascon house, green shutters almost mimic the surrounding foliage and countryside) but also contemporary (recently updated to create a modern, classic interior which is light and airy). Every room has a stunning view of either the mountains or rolling hills or the gardens. The result leaves you feeling refreshed and alive!

You can lead the 'quiet life' here, being set well away from any neighbours. Private, with no onlookers, you have beautiful terraces for soaking up that sunshine. Or potter in the garden tending the roses, sit on the granite bench by your pond as you listen to the sounds of Mother Nature, close your eyes and you can hear them better still!

But it is just as easy to visualise this being a great place for friends and family to meet, parties, social gatherings that could spill over onto the lawn, so much scope!

The house has two different levels for great variety and interaction to suit all tastes. Children will stride up the flights of stairs, and probably adore coming down another different one! But you equally have all that you need, at the end of your fingertips, on the ground floor. This versatility means that the property is well suited to people of all ages and personalities .A memorable place to live that will please every family member and is sure to impress your visitors!

The house is completely surrounded by the garden, lovingly maintained with lush lawn and mature trees and plants. A good sized plot, all on one level with its own orchard red and green apples, quinze, limes, red plums, hazelnuts, walnuts and pears for you to hand pick and enjoy! The large pond can be left as a lovely natural feature with the seating areas alongside. But it is ready to be transformed into a swimming pool, permission having already been granted for this, if you wish to do so.

A fabulous house with ample space:

GROUND FLOOR: hallway/lobby with stairs to main entrance, bedroom with patio doors, kitchen/dining room, utility room with wc, second kitchen with stairs to other side of house(which could be used for an apartment).

FIRST FLOOR: main entrance (accessible by exterior flight of stairs), lounge with feature fireplace/open working chimney, 2nd bedroom (with en-suite shower room), 3rd bedroom, bathroom, 4th bedroom (with en-suite bathroom, dressing room, storage cupboard), landing (with small kitchen work area plus storage space), and tiled terrace with open views as far as you can see!

There is a means of separating the house to create separate lodgings, either for additional income, to accommodate a large family, or for visitors . Easily done, there is no fixed separation, just a mere turn of the key to close off an adjoining door. 'Voila!'

You have peace and calm here and do feel as though you are right in the middle of rural France, despite being just a short walk away from the lively market town of Masseube. So, more than just a fabulous property, she offers you a great way of life. The time that you spend here will be quality time.

This house truly does prove that you can have the best of both worlds!

Masseube, with all the amenities, is just 3 minutes away - cafe bars, swimming complex and camp site, all commerces, vet, doctor, banks, pharmacies, petrol stations, garage, cinema, newsagent, 2 pizzerias, restaurants, rubbish tip, Spa shop, a large supermarket, local park for picnics and dog walks, market day twice a week, Horse festival yearly.

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.
