STUNNING 34-HECTARE COUNTRY ESTATE WITH LAKE + CHIC MANOR HOUSE + 2 VILLAS + 3 GÎTES + SUPERB MOUNTAIN VIEWS This wonderful country estate is set amidst the rolling hills of the Gers. Forming a private hamlet, the property comprises a huge contemporary manor house (475m²), a large villa (270m²), a small villa (114m²), three gîtes/wooden chalets to rent out, several outbuildings, a private lake and 34 hectares of land, which includes meadows, woodland, orchards, vines... Located at the end of a private lane, the hillside estate overlooks a private lake and has fabulous views of the Pyrénées on the horizon. Formerly an agricultural property, the original buildings have been replaced by the manor house and villas - perfect for an extended family wishing to live together but in separate houses. The manor house has two elegant towers, one of which is ideal to use as a two-bedroom gîte. Most of the 11 bedrooms have en suite shower rooms, so would be perfect for accommodating B&B guests. Set away from the three houses are three gîtes/wooden chalets, which are rented out to holidaymakers and B&B guests during the summer months, the skiing season and for Christmas and New Year breaks. It might also be possible to create as many as five more gîtes (subject to permission). In addition, planning permission has been granted for an extension of 80m² to the smaller villa (foundations already in place), creating yet more accommodation. Set in an estate of 34 hectares, the land and several of the outbuildings would be suitable for transforming into stables for horses and other farm animals - and the south-facing slopes are ideal for growing flowers, for market gardening projects and even a vineyard!
