4 Bed House for sale
Villecomtal-sur-Arros, Gers, Midi-Pyrenees, France
Full Description
This 4 bed farmhouse has just over an acre garden with a large swimming pool and lovely views towards the Pyrenees, however, if you are a keen walker, there is 300+hectare forest on the doorstep for you to explore.
At its heart, this is a period farmhouse built in 1852, incorporating parts of an earlier dwelling, now skill-fully enlarged with contemporary extensions giving a huge amount of light to the accommodation. The property is in excellent structural order and easy to maintain as a permanent home with air-source heat pumps providing economical hot water and central heating, under-floor throughout much of the ground floor.
With 360m2 habitable space including a sitting room, music room, library, dining room & games room, the property is ideal for large gatherings of family and friends and with the modern creature comforts, it is very comfortable for year round use.

The original farmhouse has been renovated with energy efficiency in mind. The central heating system is run by heat pumps and there is under-floor heating running through most of the ground floor.
Outside, the 4229m2 garden is fenced and easy to maintain. The swimming pool is 12 x 6m and there is a carport with undercover storage space for 2 vehicles.
The property is situated on a very quiet lane and whilst there are some neighbouring properties on the same road, with such a huge expanse of forest and the far reaching views to the mountains, there is a great sense of space here. The nearest shops are just 5km away and it's only 25km to Tarbes for the nearest train station.
