House

Property Description

At the foot of one of the loveliest villages in the Gers, a former mill awaits. It sits quietly, watching the sky, the poplar trees, the lake.

The lake is right there, spread out among the trees. In the morning, it steams gently. At midday, it dozes under the sun. In the evening, it turns golden. The place is sheltered, almost hidden. On its 2.6 hectares, nothing is rushed.

On the ground floor, a large light-filled room, then an open kitchen leading into a generous dining area, and a simple, honest living room with a stone fireplace the likes of which they no longer make. The kind that makes you want to stay there all winter.

Upstairs, two large bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, as well as a smaller one, like a cocoon, with its bathroom in the hallway. At the top, a view one could never tire of. In the morning, the light bursts in without knocking.

Outside, the pool stretches out, unhurried, slowing down the hours. Nearby, a large stone outbuilding awaiting future ideas. And an Italian-style patio for late afternoons that seem to go on forever.

There is work to be done, of course. That's also part of the charm: the possibility of creating one or two additional bedrooms, a living space with a mezzanine, a bathroom. The house doesn't ask to be transformed, only to be understood.

This is a place for those who know that the truest luxury is that of simply having time.
