Proudly facing the majestic Pyrenees mountain range, bathed in light all year round and flooded with golden sunshine in summer, this property, one of the most fascinating in Lectoure, reflects the history of the Gascon city. This captivating and somewhat mysterious residence is a world unto itself with its two gardens, terraces on two levels, hidden corners, and peaceful nooks perfect for reading, dreaming, or escaping.
The place is difficult to describe as it is so magical and unique, but allow us to guide you through the discovery of a home where the unexpected competes with surprises.
Right in the heart of the city, we enter the premises, leaving behind the joyful bustle of local merchants—bakers, grocers, wine merchants, and tea salons. An ochre-colored passage reminiscent of a Spanish castle leads to a wrought iron gate protecting the entrance to the inner courtyard.
This property, cherished by the same family for over thirty years, reveals an unusual architecture composed of two building wings, with a central courtyard from which rises a monumental staircase dating back to 1702. The first building faces the main street, the second faces the Pyrenees.
The North and South wings are connected on the ground floor, first, and second floors by galleries whose floors and ceilings are made of original wood. Until now, the property has been used as a single house, but the space is equally suited to become two separate apartments with a shared courtyard, or even luxurious rentals with five fully equipped apartments (each with a kitchen and bathroom) and an artist’s studio on the top floor.
Two apartments are located on the North side, three on the South side, and the studio is under the attic.
From the inner courtyard, equipped with an old well, a few stone steps lead us under the South building to the former stables, currently used for storing gardening tools and dusty wine bottles.
The garden on the South side opens onto an old stone outbuilding, currently used as a garage, which in turn opens onto the back street, providing valuable access to the garden for property maintenance or green waste removal.
Having a parking space in Lectoure is precious, especially if it is accessible via the South ramparts. Indeed, during the summer periods (in addition to Fridays), the main street is closed to traffic on Mondays due to the night market.
