Spacious fully renovated chateau with 5* gite in Le Gers

This is an excellent opportunity to acquire a spacious comfortable family chateau with a state of the art 5* gîte which can sleep 18. The chateau has been completely renovated retaining and enhancing the original features and sympathetically adding the refinements required for 21st century living. The recently completed gîte is a former outbuilding which has been rebuilt and kitted out to exceptional standards and definitely has the wow factor. Each has its own entrance, swimming pool, parking and formal and informal gardens with far reaching views over the land and surrounding valley. The complex sits off a quiet country road but is within a few minutes of a bustling bastide town with a wide range of facilities. The main door of the chateau opens on to a long wide corridor with terracotta flooring from which the rooms flow. The doorways have stone work facings On one side is the formal lounge with its marble fireplace, large windows and french doors. The room on the other side is currently used as an office with two workstations. Moving along is the imposing wooden staircase and then a cloakroom with a bathroom behind in the turret. Opposite is a smaller living room again with a fireplace and french doors to a patio. Double glazed doors lead to an impressively large dining kitchen with an enormous island unit. The hand made fitted units line the walls and house all the modern appliances. There is a working fireplace with a specialist unit for cooking. There is a wing on one side with a large utility/ laundry room, a small sitting area which catches the early morning sun and a large space, one end of which is currently used as a games room and the other end a cinema room. There are french doors in the centre opening on to a patio and the gardens. The central wooden staircase leads to a wide corridor with a lot of built in storage. There are 4 large bedrooms, each with its individually styled bathroom or shower room. The master in particular has a central roll top bath and walk in shower. There is a further room currently with gym equipment and a smaller single room adjacent to it which could easily be converted to another ensuite bedroom. A former outbuilding has been completely rebuilt: the exterior walls are of local blonde stone and the wooden ceiling highlighted by the quality of the interior fittings and furniture give it the wow factor. With its double height living space and enormous windows and doors framing the gardens and surrounding land there is plenty of space for all the guests. There are patios and an outside barbecue area, a heated guest swimming pool with its pool house complete with its sound system and small external kitchen. The living space has a comfortable linked chairs with an enormous television; the central area has a long carved table; a galley kitchen fitted with every gadget and appliance necessary to produce fine cuisine. There is a smaller seating area on this level and another on the first floor overlooking the main area and a smaller set of computer or media stations. The luxury bedrooms are all of a good size, bright and individually styled with good storage and ensuite facilities. They are set over both levels: some are double, others twin and there are also some family suites. All in all a remarkable opportunity to live in a private luxury family size chateau and have a ready made business adjacent.
