Access
Access to the estate is particularly private and attractive. A private, tree-lined driveway leads through the grounds towards the two principal dwellings. The secluded setting means that the property is sheltered from surrounding development while still being accessible from the Boulogne-sur-Gesse area. An electric entrance gate provides additional security and convenience.
The location between Toulouse and Tarbes makes the property well positioned for accessing the wider region, while the countryside setting provides the peace and privacy expected of a substantial rural estate. Its configuration would also be practical for guests, with separate accommodation, garages and extensive parking potential within the grounds
