Great Escape
This home is conveniently situated between Lectoure and Condom in the North part of the Gers. Set in classic rolling countryside outside a small, pretty village, this location provides the perfect balance between peace and tranquility and easy access to local bars and restaurants, whilst still being within two hours of beautiful Bordeaux.
Built of Gersois stone, c1854, with a partial stone facade, the home was totally renovated in 2008, to a high standard, as befitting either a permanent family home with comprehensive heating and insulation, or, as a second home. This excellent and practically designed home, gives direct access to the pool and patio from the kitchen. There are wonderful, uninterrupted views over a small lake and open countryside towards Lectoure. The morning sun rises over the lake and shines its warmth into the principal bedroom through the ‘old barn’ window.
The Gers provides both a peaceful living environment with easy access to Toulouse, Bordeaux, the Pyrenees and both the Mediterranean and Atlantic beaches, how could you resist?
