Fleurance, Midi Pyrenees, Gers, 32500

A true Gascony estate covering almost 17 hectares, with numerous buildings with an Italian flavour. The estate dates back to the Middle Ages and was remodelled in the 18th century. Situated on one of the hills of Lomagne, you arrive by a small country road and enter the property, bordered by low golden stone walls, through the farmyard. Dotted with several farm buildings, old sheds, a dovecote, a pretty caretaker's cottage of approx. 100 m2 has been renovated, as has a vast sports hall of approx. 145 m2. An elegant avenue of chestnut trees leads to the main courtyard through a porch that protects the property from view and is flanked by a tower topped by a 19th century wind turbine that once supplied the property with running water. Forming a U shape, this part of the property has a very special atmosphere, with its chapel, the walls of which are pierced with multicoloured stained glass windows, the view overlooking the rolling, colourful countryside, the avenue of cedars leading to the woods, the stone pool, the swimming pool in the distance and finally the château in the centre. The south-facing facade is typical of the 18th century, with its numerous doors and windows providing a soft, constant light to the interior. As for the north facade, flanked by 3 towers of different architecture, one of which is adorned with 4 gargoyles, it offers other surprises such as old mullioned windows and loopholes, but also nearby, part of the old moat, which is still filled with water... There are many possibilities in this unusual place !
