4 bed villa for sale

Bellegarde, Gers, Occitanie

Set in complete privacy on a 1.5-hectare plot, this beautifully presented home offers a rare combination of rural charm and modern eco-conscious living. The house is well insulated and equipped for year-round comfort with solar panels, three pompes à chaleur, and double-glazed windows. Every room has its own thermostat, controllable remotely via smartphone. Two wood-burning stoves—one in the kitchen and one in the salon—add cosy ambiance on cooler evenings.

Outdoor living is a true highlight. A standout feature is the stunning 6m x 4m marble-effect resin saltwater pool, imported from Australia. It includes integrated steps and spa jets —perfect for both relaxation and fun. Surrounded by hedging for privacy, the pool is accessed directly from the salon via double patio doors, with a paved area ideal for lounging before or after a swim. A private well supplies water to the garden and pool, promoting responsible and economical water use.

To the rear, a large terrace off the kitchen creates the perfect entertaining space. Part paved and part gravelled, it overlooks beautifully maintained gardens with mature trees, fruit trees, and uninterrupted views of the rolling Gers countryside. Thoughtfully designed to blend with the home, the terrace features exposed wooden beams and matching roof tiles. Electricity is already in place—ideal for string lights and alfresco dining on warm summer evenings.

In addition to the main home, the property offers a wealth of outbuildings:

A substantial two-storey stone barn (approx. 70m2 per level) that could remain as storage or be converted for guest accommodation, rentals, or workspace. The roof on this building has been replaced by the current owners.

A large hangar (165.2m2) with parking for two vehicles and generous storage space for wood or equipment.

The entrance is both elegant and secure: Wrought-iron electric gates set between stone pillars (one engraved with the house name) open onto a gravel driveway with ample parking. A rose-covered arch leads to a peaceful meditation area on the lawn, while a sizeable pond—enclosed by a small wooded area—enhances the feeling of seclusion and calm.

Inside, the home is bright, spacious, and full of character. A large landing fills the upper floor with light, and the layout makes excellent use of the generous interior. Original features—exposed stone walls, traditional colombage, ceiling beams, and dark wood floors—highlight the home’s heritage while blending seamlessly with its modern comforts and thoughtful renovations.

The home offers spacious and flexible accommodation across two floors, with quality finishes, original features, and thoughtful layout throughout.
