Saint-Justin, Midi-Pyrénées 32230

Reference: PFYR-T205079. This could be a life-changing purchase. We are offering the possibility to acquire a fully restored country house, surrounded by 14 hectares of fully fenced land, consisting of pasture, hay meadows and woodland, with panoramic views over distant mountains. There is no sense of being isolated despite the quiet and private location of this property. It is within easy walking distance of a lively hamlet with a bar, convenience store and restaurant, and just 10 minutes by car from the vibrant town of Marciac, famous for its world-renowned jazz festival held for three weeks every August. Topping up on provisions is best done at the Wednesday morning market. In case you are not familiar with the Gers, it is a department in the far SW of France, known for its rural charm, rolling hills and agricultural heritage, particularly for its gastronomy and wines like Armagnac. It is a hidden gem, offering a peaceful pace of life and landscapes of sunflowers and medieval villages. There is no mass tourism and few, if any motorways. It is the real France that you might have thought did not exist any more. If you are struggling to place it on a map, it is two hours from Toulouse and Bordeaux (both with international airports).
