Saint Christaud Ancienne

SOUTH FRANCEProperty in the Gers Countryside with Complete PrivacyLocated just 10 minutes from all amenities, between Mirande and Marciac – the latter well-known for its annual Jazz in Marciac festival. A 235 m² Gascon house, fully renovated while preserving its authenticity. In summer, the house remains naturally and pleasantly cool thanks to the use of natural materials (stone, earth, lime, hemp), healthy insulation and double glazing. In winter, comfort is provided by a mass stove with heated bench and a bread oven (energy self-sufficient thanks to the wooded plots). The former henhouse has been converted upstairs into a large office/meeting room of 32 m², very bright with a fully glazed façade. The rest of the outbuildings comprise:A goat shed with hayloft (382 m²)A cheese production workshop with shop (113 m², built in 2015)A large hangar with concrete floor and electric door (261 m²)A barn to renovate on two levels (108 m²)Land: 19 hectares, divided into two parts and connected by a path (10 minutes on foot) that crosses a stream. Made up half of natural meadows and half of well-maintained woodland. Land with DPB (basic payment entitlements). The property was certified organic until 2023. Several ponds are scattered across the property, along with one well. Opposite the house there is an orchard with various fruit trees: cherry, plum, fig, apple, pear and mulberry. Business Opportunity – Goat Farming:The current owners propose the continuation of the goat-farming activity. The herd consists of 56 goats and 3 bucks, self-sufficient in hay and pasture. Facilities include a milking parlour, all equipment for the production of tomme cheeses, lactic cheeses and yoghurts, plus three maturing cellars. A shop with display window opens directly onto the entrance. The farm has also developed a green tourism activity, with an established client base including both individuals and professionals (sales in supermarkets and smaller outlets, as well as partnerships with local restaurants). Support in the handover to future owners is possible. Financial aid for takeover may also be available. Examples of future projects:Renovate the barn adjoining the house to create gîtes or guest rooms (100 m² on two levels, in a tourist area). Install unusual accommodation in the wooded areas of Pouylebon or create leisure activities such as a treetop adventure park. Develop an educational farm. The departmental road as well as the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage route pass directly in front of the property.
