General Overview:
Dating from 1853 this spacious Gascon home is situated in the Golden Triangle, the heart of the magnificent undulating countryside between the lovely village of Mas dAuvignan and the highly sought-after Lectoure, Gers. The property enjoys good views of the surrounding countryside and the location is very quiet with no nuisances.
This house has been renovated in a sophisticated and elegant manner and has an intimate family feeling. Its period features have been retained and lovingly enhanced, the house is luminous with high ceilings. There is a total habitable surface area of 343m² between the 4-bed house (one of which is a large dormitory in the attic) and the Maison d'Amis with one bedroom.
There is a superb, generously proportioned swimming pool, perfect for long hours of leisurely unwinding, with surrounding terrace. Two large covered terraces, one with a summer kitchen and the other with a Petanque pitch offer a pleasant shady recreation area. In terms of outbuildings there are two large barns adjoining the house which could serve to create further accommodation.
All situated on lovely grounds with beautiful gardens, 2 wells, and meadow of 1ha93a52ca (4.78 acres).
The House & Maison d'amis
Of a habitable surface area of 317m² the main house comprises 2 wings.
In the Gascon stone house (the East wing) there is a large reception hall with the classic layout of dining room-come-study with wood burner, opposite there is a cosy living room with fireplace. The flooring is the traditional tommette tiles typical of the region, exposed stone walls and built in cupboards.
On the first floor are two spacious bedrooms with built-in cupboards, original wooden floors, both are double aspect. There is a water closet with sink which serves both bedrooms.
In the West Wing, the adjoining barns have been carefully converted to living quarters. On the ground floor coming through from the East Wing a beautifully simple kitchen with French doors has been created. Exposed beams, exposed stone, and a wonderful mix of brick, wood and chic tile flooring makes one want to pass a lot of time in this space! The dining area has a built-in wood burner perfect for winter dining, whilst an outside terrace area serves for the al-fresco summer months.
On the ground floor in the West Wing there is a large family bathroom with Italian shower, WC, sink and plumbing for a bath. An adjoining bedroom offers downstairs sleeping quarters with lovely views over the garden, perfect for guests.

One follows a staircase up in to the attic space of the original house and finds a large dormitory which has currently 4 beds and a bathroom, perfect for housing children and visitors or as a large leisure room.
The Maison d'Amis of 27m² is private and secluded, set away from the main estate. It comprises a double bedroom with shower room consisting of Italian shower, WC and sink. Views over the neighbouring fields.
