A grand house dating back to 1810 with a guesthouse, a pool and 30 hectares of grounds that evoke Tuscany, on a hill two minutes from a spa town in France's beautiful Gers department. A small country lane that snakes through fields and groves leads to the estate. An electric wrought-iron gate, framed between tall stone pillars, takes you onto a long driveway lined with towering cypress trees. The whole property enjoys privacy at the top of a hill that overlooks a small valley. The estate covers around 30 hectares, including 15 hectares of landscaped parkland with Mediterranean plants and trees, as well as terraces and dry-stone retaining walls that evoke Tuscany. There are also two orchards, one of which is walled. At a lower level and set back, there is a swimming pool with a stone-tiled poolside area. The pool is 14 metres long and 7 metres wide. A flight of stone steps stretches up to large terraces upon which the grand Gascon house stands proudly, extended with a wing for guests in former annexes on the north side. A rectangular outbuilding with a caretaker's dwelling, workshops, a garage and a vast loft stands by a lane to a parking area. At the bottom of the plot, there is an agricultural storage building in which you can store tools for maintaining the parkland.<br />
