'Maison De Maître' with Large Mature Garden in Charming Gascon Market Town details

Property description

This stone house with accommodation on three floors and convertible attics offering in total in excess of 450 m²  has been immaculately restored to the highest possible standard using quality materials.

The generously proportioned rooms with ceiling heights up to 3m have numerous interesting original features, as might be expected of what was once the house of the tax collector of the 'Sun King', and evoke a sense of history and of gracious living whilst offering every modern comfort.

The mature garden of over 300 square metres is a delight. South facing and with a lovely productive fig tree offering its shade it offers room for a pool if required. The shady courtyard offers an equally attractive shaded outdoor area. Both have active wells for garden irrigation.

With the variety of access to the various floors, and between the various rooms, this extremely versatile layout offers great flexibility of use: from a large family home to various business uses including a small hotel or holiday apartments with owners accommodation. Further development of both cellars and attics would provide even greater potential.

Mirande known as 'La Jolie' is a small (pop 4000) but very active market town with excellent shopping, several bars and restaurants, banks, doctors and dentists. It has excellent sports and leisure facilities including an outdoor waterpark complex and an attractive lakeside park. There are  good schools at all levels. The elegant historic city of Auch, reputed to be the home of  d'Artagnan, offers further facilities just 24km away. The Pyreneen ski and spa  stations are little more than an hour away.
