Classic, fully renovated Gers farmhouse (c.1790) in a secluded, peaceful valley | Other in Antras
5 Bedroom Place in Gers, Antras
Le Pastoureau (the shepherd) is a traditional Gers farmhouse, circa 1760, surrounded by fields and lying in a secluded, peaceful valley with narrow lanes, steep hills and spectacular views.
Enjoying more than an acre of lawn, it is blessed with a wealth of shade-giving trees that flower and fruit abundantly. There are walnuts, almonds, figs, quince, apricots and cherries, colourful dry gravel gardens and a profusion of lavender, rosemary and thyme.
Le Pastoureau lies in an area with no pollution, stunning views, a peaceful valley and the majesty of the Pyrenees at hand. It imbues the same magic.
Today, the property has been completely renovated and we have an English team who run the place in our absence together with a French Arborist d’Equipe and a lovely, smiley daily. Together, they manage every aspect of the house when we are in UK – which is be most of the time. More photos are available on the website www.pastoureau.com
