Once an old French farmhouse, the property was abandoned and fell into ruin before undergoing total renovation in 1978. Today, it stands proudly, as always, in the heart of Armagnac overlooking the calm, peaceful and undulating landscape of the beautiful Gers countryside. The house enjoys panoramic and far reaching views, to which the Pyrenees provide a perfect scenic background. The mountains are clearly visible from the south facing windows of the house or the south facing terrace.
Conveniently situated only a 10-15 minutes from the quaint market towns of Vic Fezensac, Eauze and Aignan, which have every possible amenity, the house stands only 3 kilometres from a small village, which has a hotel restaurant/bar, garage, general provisions store and boulangerie.
The garden, which measures a manageable yet ample 2510 sq metres, is laid mainly to lawn, featuring raised flower beds and a variety of fruit trees, which include fig, greengage, olive, peach, apple, cherry, plum and hazelnut. There are also mature palm trees growing in the garden. The present owners and have been careful to preserve the far reaching views by not over planting in the garden. Hence, the garden almost extends beyond its boundaries, affording views of the sunflower fields and rolling vineyards.
