Set back from a quiet road, close to the main village square, this grand Maison de Maître, in the heart of Gascony, dates back to medieval times. It has been documented that Henry of Navarre (Henri IV, King of France) stayed here during 1570’s although the house dates back even further. One of the founders of the French Academy, Jean de Silhon, was also born in the house and owned it all his life.
There is a lovely front garden with ornate iron gates, wisteria on the exterior walls and a splendid Magnolia grandiflora tree providing shade in the summer months. This is a magical and atmospheric space for outdoor living.
On the ground and first floors, there are impressive traditional red-tiled corridors, typical of the region, leading to the main living areas and bedrooms.
To the rear of the property, there is an impressive swimming pool that makes for a lovely alternative outdoor living space - significantly boosting the potential for holiday rental income.
In addition, there is a large high-ceilinged attic space, ideal for conversion, with an open terrace with wonderful views stretching out over the Lot et Garonne countryside.
Close by, and included in the sale, is an extra parcel of land (533 m sq), which would make a perfect ‘potagier’.
To the rear, there is also a large outbuilding on two levels ideal for storage.
This house is in need of some renovation work and refreshment (quotes are available on request for the essential works). It has been keenly priced accordingly to take account of what is required to bring it back to its original splendour.
Priced to sell, this is a unique opportunity to create an exceptional family home at a highly competitive price.
