MIRANDE, Charente 32300

Elegant mansion located in a village in the south of the Gers, offering beautiful bright volumes. Magnificent views towards the Pyrenees. Located on the south façade of the castelnau, which stretches on the crest of a hillside overlooking the Gers countryside and beyond, the Pyrenees, this former convent building is composed of a main house, an old chapel now deconsecrated on one side and a very large non-adjoining building used as a garage/workshop on the other side. The renovation has preserved the old features (woodwork, mouldings, fireplace, wooden floors) of an 18th century mansion, now functional, comfortable and easy to live in. High ceilings at the bottom and top. The main building consists of a large entrance hall leading to the living and dining room opening onto the garden and a shaded side terrace, ideal for summer meals with a well. Large fitted kitchen with large dining area. The beautiful central staircase leads to a large landing on which open 3 bedrooms (including a master suite with very recent shower room and dressing room), and a family bathroom. What was once a chapel can be reached from the inside of the house, halfway up the central staircase, or from the outside via an independent entrance, richly decorated with terracotta motifs from Toulouse. This part includes an entrance, a large office/library, 2 small rooms on the ground floor. Above, what must have been the loggia used during religious services, a large space remains to be developed. Note the characteristic wall decorations of religious buildings from the 19th century (in part). A large garage with automatic roller shutter completes the built part of the property. Small adjoining workshop opening onto one of the terraces. The terraced garden is totally privé.et enjoys magnificent panoramic open views. Subject to obtaining the building permit, it would be possible to create a superbly exposed swimming lane. Well maintained house, ideal for a family living there all year round or holiday stays. Possibility of reception. The village located on the Way of Saint James (Arles route) is active, with grocery/café, pharmacy, doctor's office and various cultural activities. Traditions are preserved there, such as the pouloïo, a banquet bringing together the inhabitants on the 1st Sunday in November. In the surrounding area, Auch is about 30 kms away. Marciac and its international jazz festival 25 kms away. The active market town of Mirande is about 12 kms away.
