A Restored Medieval Tower And A Historical Monument, With A Dwelling, 10 Min From A Charming

A restored medieval tower and a Historical Monument, with a dwelling, 10 min from a charming town in the Gers department, between Bordeaux and Toulouse. A small road, winding its way through the neighbouring fields, leads to a very sparsely populated hamlet, while the property’s medieval tower, which stands out from the landscape, is located at the entrance to a group of free-standing dwellings, set back and sheltered from sight. As for the lot, on which the two buildings face one another, it looks out over farmland, whose colours change according to the season, whereas, surrounded by a stone wall, which recalls the former fortified enclosure, and accessible via a tall carriage entranceway with a wrought-iron gate, the dwelling is completely shielded from view.

Along the enclosure wall, a grassy and shaded area provides vehicle parking, while the square-shaped tower grounds planted with trees, the latter of which are accessible via a small door located to the left of the property’s main entrance. In addition, the rectangular stone dwelling, placed perpendicular to the enclosure wall, features three floors, the top one of which is located under a sloping barrel tile roof highlighted by a triple genoise cornice, whereas an immense covered open-air structure abuts the dwelling’s southern end.

Accessible from the garden via a carriage door entrance followed by several steps that descend to this open-air space, this structure communicates with a passageway behind the dwelling, via an impressive wooden gate, while the ornamental garden, extending in front of the dwelling and communicating with the tower, features a variety of different vegetation, a covered well and low walls that define the separation between the grounds’ upper and lower sections.
