The plot covers an area of 1.2 acres and the garden surrounds the house.  Electric gates open to a private driveway that leads through the garden down to the house.  Bordered on one side by a lovely tranquil river and with views south down to the Pyrénées mountains.  There is a sheltered dining terrace by the house and a good sized ‘entertaining area’ where there is currently an above ground swimming pool.  There is also a ruined cottage that would need to be demolished and re-built, but the potential is there should you wish to create additional space (subject to planning).

Location

Masseube is a vibrant bastide town which has retained much of its’ historic buildings and architecture.  On the main street, the traditional 18th century half-timbered houses and covered galleries have been preserved.  From the ramparts of the town, the views of the Pyrénées are fantastic.  This area is a fantastic playground for walking, biking and riding enthusiasts, with over 300km of marked trails in the surrounding countryside.  There is a sports complex with tennis courts, table tennis and pétanque in the town and a golf course nearby.  The rivers Ger and Arrats provide plenty of opportunities to enjoy water-based sports with the Ile d’Ager a particular hub for locals and visitors alike.

Other towns and villages in the area that are well worth exploring might be Auch, Castelnau, Mirande, Tarbes and Boulogne-sur-Gesse.  The airport at Toulouse is 1hr 15 mins away
