In Gascony, in the Gers, located in pretty undulating countryside, about 4 kms from a lively market town, this property is approached along a country road and then a 200 metre private driveway lined with trees and shrubs. The well-maintained complex of buildings consists of a stone house, completely restored, an adjoining two-storey gîte, a large old stone barn, 2 new garages, a potting shed and a 11m x 5m swimming pool, on 10 hectares (25 acres) of land.

The property offers the possibility of income from the gîte, or alternatively separate accommodation for visiting family or friends. Privately situated, the two houses are surrounded by 3.5 hectares of well-maintained parkland and orchard, and the remaining 6.5 hectares is farmed for wheat and sunflower crops. There are some lovely walks along paths through the property.

The house is located just outside a pretty medieval village with a shop, restaurant/bar/hotel, as well as many other restaurants close by. The medieval market towns of Bretenoux and St Céré are 6 and 9km away respectively, with wonderful architecture, a wide range of shops, restaurants, bank, supermarkets etc. The city of Brive-la-Gaillarde is about a 40 min car drive.
