Elegant 300m2 Maison de Maître

in immaculate condition

A rare opportunity to become the custodian of a classic Gascon farmhouse.

Dating from 1840, this sumptuous property underwent a complete renovation ten years ago and presents in pristine condition. Beautifully decorated throughout, this property is perfect for anyone wanting to commence a new life in Gascony, without undergoing any renovation works.

This property is what we call a Champagne House – thus called, because the only thing left to do is open a glass of bubbly and celebrate.

The property benefits from a new roof installed one month ago which is under ten-year guarantee with a local artisan – who is an expert roofer or “Compagnon.” As seen throughout the property wherever renovations have been carried out, the roof is a work of art.

The property has been restored by the current owners with great sensitivity, resulting in a beautiful country home that blends comfort with timeless, understated elegance.

Set within a secluded hamlet in the highly desirable commune of Marsolan, the house sits midway between Condom and Lectoure, placing the full range of both towns’ amenities within easy reach.

The main house occupies the crest of a small valley. The immediate surroundings are laid to lawn and framed by mature signature trees on three sides with an elevated terrace area to the rear overlooking the countryside beyond.

Inside the property

The main door opens onto an impressive central hallway leading to a reception room on the right, with a gorgeous green ceiling and elegant tones of woodland throughout. The ambiance is very much a gentleman’s hunting lodge. This welcoming space is perfect for winter evenings by the fireside, a television area, or reading room.

Further along the central hallway, we find the entrance to a spacious kitchen which has been fully fitted and equipped to the highest standard. The kitchen combines contemporary and period features, with impressive oak beams, stone walls, and designer fittings and fixtures. There is central island and generous workspaces throughout. By the window there is a breakfast or coffee area. The kitchen doors open onto an elevated terrace, the perfect area for dining. Careful attention has been given to house soft lightening in the stone walls of the terrace for evening receptions.

The ground floor also houses a downstairs cloakroom/WC as well as a spacious laundry room.

The property extends into an impressive 75 m² reception area at the end of the central hallway.

This fantastic reception room is the heart of the home, and perfect for large family gatherings.

With a fireplace and wood-burning stove, the space has been imaginatively reinterpreted, and houses three distinct areas : a formal lounge, an informal seating area and a grand dining room with cathedral ceilings and a view up to the first floor.

The bedrooms

The home includes five large ensuite double bedrooms; one conveniently located on the ground floor with an ensuite bathroom.

Each of the bedrooms is generous in size, comfortable and elegant. The interior of this property was designed for a five-star luxury chambre d’hôte, but only ever used as a private home. It is easy to understand why one would want to keep this property all to oneself.
