Exceptional Gascon farmhouse with two thriving independent gîtes and 1.5 hectares of private parkland.
This charming, fully restored, former Armagnac estate (415 m2) was built in the early 19th century and lies on the fringes of the Parc Natural des Landes de Gascogne, one of the greatest expanses of forest in Western Europe and a haven for nature lovers.
The property nestles on a gently elevated site and is surrounded by undulating green hills, Armagnac vineyards and woodland. It is completely private and peaceful with glorious, unimpeded south facing views of the neighbouring Gers.
As well as the principle house, there are two well-established and popular gîtes, which can provide an immediate business opportunity for the new owners.
There is a recently installed swimming pool (10 m × 5 m) with a sun deck and outside shower - whilst, the extensive and beautifully maintained parkland has several private terraces and al fresco dining opportunities.
A rare find, this is a fantastic opportunity to move seamlessly into life in southwest France with immediate income potential.

Detailed description
With 10 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms, and in excellent condition throughout, there is still ample scope to develop further and the three properties could easily be reconfigured to your requirements. The main house and the first gîte, for example, could be combined to create a larger principle home and still provide a second independent guesthouse with its own gas central heating system. There are also two separate entrance gates and driveways for the main house and the two guesthouses.
One advantage of the current configuration is that both gîtes can be rented out simultaneously by extended families and friends, providing extra space and privacy.
There is fibre optic broadband (2GB) throughout the entire property.
