This property in a nutshell
This striking stone house, complete with its distinctive tower, is a wonderful example of a traditional Gersoise home. Set within its own woodland and approached by a long, tree-lined driveway, the property has an immediate sense of character and quiet grandeur.
Although the thriving town of Mauvezin and its amenities are only a short drive away, arriving here feels like leaving the outside world behind. A deep sense of peace and calm pervades both inside and out. The only sounds are the century-old oak trees rustling in the breeze, perhaps joined by the distant echo of a tennis game or the gentle splash of the pool.

Let’s take a look inside
The main door of the house leads you straight into a magnificent reception room with a large open fireplace in the centre and a wood burner at the far end. With designated zones for reading, dining, music and games, this old barn is most definitely the hub of the house.
Off it and through impressively thick stone walls, the kitchen is large and airy. The working part has views of the garden which makes doing the dishes a pleasure. A vast utility room sits adjacent to the kitchen. An east- facing veranda and its terrace also leads from here and is the perfect setting for morning coffees and relaxed breakfasts.
Back through the reception room, there is another doorway leading to a downstairs guest room, shower room and snug TV room.
Halfway up the stairs is an intriguing wooden door which reveals a charming bathroom under the eaves. The sunken bath is an interesting feature.
Continuing upstairs, we find the second guest room and the master suite. The cosy guest room draws us in, and the master suite has its own shower room as well as lovely views of the garden which are a joy to wake up to.
Completing the main house, there is a tower behind the snug which has access to the garden so could become independent if required. It currently houses an office on the ground floor and a bedroom on each of the two floors above.
Step outside into the gardens and grounds
Outside the property boasts just under two hectares of trees and parkland. There’s plenty of space to lose yourself, or to sunbathe, or play a game of tennis on the private court, and cool off in the swimming pool.
A small outbuilding has been converted into a games room with storage for garden equipment on the side.

Who will love it?
The property will particularly appeal to those who value privacy without feeling isolated. Local amenities are within easy reach and Toulouse-Blagnac airport is only an hour away, yet once you arrive, the peaceful setting creates the sense of having the world to yourself.
It works equally well as a full-time home or as a holiday retreat, with the added flexibility of generating rental income during the summer months when not in use.
“A unique property which has been hugely enjoyed by the whole family as well as summer rentals over the last 20 years. The feeling of peace as you drive up to the property, the sound of the breeze rustling through the trees, complete privacy, and yet so much space to enjoy the outdoors.”
