- ***Gascony France*** Perfect location. It’s difficult to overstate the sense of tranquility which surrounds this property yet it’s close to major towns, festivals and airports. Restored 4 bedroom house with a medieval tower. Spacious bright kitchen (34m2). Bright sitting room (40m2) Magnificent master bedroom (80m2) on the top floor of the tower with vaulted ceiling and exposed stonework. Separate, charming 2 bedroom gite. 10 acres of well fenced fields and a spring fed lake. This incredible property dates back to medieval times, and still retains traces of the Knights Templar. It has been carefully restored by the current owners, and now consists of a large main house and an independent gîte. Set in the centre of its vast grounds, the property is completely isolated and offers complete peace and quiet and panoramic views of this idyllic setting. The grounds extend over more than 10 acres and are fully fenced. There are two lakes and agricultural shelters. House: The main house consists of a large bright living room (40m2) with a traditional pellet stove. A door leads into a large kitchen/dining room (34m2) with a double electric oven, induction hob and dishwasher. A glass door leads out to the terrace and garden, and double doors lead to the ground floor of the medieval tower which consists of an entrance hall, shower room and large utility room. Access to the first floor is via a staircase located in the living room. A landing distributes two double bedrooms and a room which is currently used as a dressing room / bedroom. The landing also leads to the 1st floor of the medieval tower, a large room which can be used as an office, library, games room ... The original stones are exposed and highlighted to reflect the age and authenticity of the tower. The bathroom, equipped with a freestanding bath and a large Italian shower, offers lovely views. COTTAGE: The gîte has its own independent entrance and private outdoor space. The ground floor contains an entrance hall, a laundry room/WC, a fitted kitchen and a lounge with a wood burning stove. A staircase leads to two large bedrooms, a bathroom (shower and bathtub) and a separate toilet The medieval tower: According to the archives, the first traces of this tower date back to 1250 and it seems that it was used by the Knights Templar. Their footprints can still be found there, which have been preserved. The tower consists of 3 floors, each 80m². Most of the ground floor and the 1st floor remain to be developed, but most of the structural work has already been carried out. On the 2nd floor of the tower is a magnificent suite (80m²), whose impressive framework and stones are exposed. On each wall, the windows offer spectacular views. The bathroom is equipped with a walk-in shower, WC and double sink. The property is located in the centre of its 10 acre plot. A good quality fence surrounds the land. A large shed (10x20 meters) is ideal for horses or agricultural work. There are also two agricultural shelters and two lakes on the land. Attached to the house, several terraces offer an ideal setting for summer meals. An above-ground swimming pool is used by the guests of the cottage. A 16m² workshop completes the outbuildings and is located at the rear of the main house.
