Situated in the heart of Gabarret, this charming townhouse beautifully combines the warmth and character of a period home with the comfort and efficiency of modern living. Offering spacious, light-filled interiors, excellent energy performance (Class C) and exciting potential to develop the attic space, this versatile property presents a rare opportunity in one of the most desirable small towns of the Landes and Armagnac region.
