One-Off Feature

Labeau is a small 19th century farmhouse nestled high on a hillside in 7 acres of rolling countryside, with panoramic views across the Gers to the Pyrenees. The region of the Gers is truly rural France at its best. The house and barn have been sympathetically restored and a beautiful heated swimming pool added to create a wonderful family retreat.

General Info

Labeau has a truly wonderful position. Sitting high on a hillside, it commands a view that is quite breath-taking. You can see for miles across the rolling green hills of the Gers as far as the stunning snow capped Pyrénées. It is accessed by its own small track, only 2 minutes off the main road into neighbouring Auch and Mirande. Its neighbours comprise only of the tiny medieval church of Vicnau, which was recently renovated and one or two small properties positioned further down the lane. Mature trees screen these from view, ensuring that Labeau is private without being totally remote.

The Area Surrounding The Property / Accommodation

It really is rural France, home of Foie Gras and Armagnac and steeped in history. Labeau is ten minutes from Auch, the Capital of the Gers, and ten minutes from Mirande, a small market town. There are many medieval villages in the vicinity, many well worth a visit, particularly for their markets selling local produce. Various seasonal fetes and cultural events take place, from the world renowned August jazz festival in Marciac, to the Country and Western Festival in Mirande. For those who want action, there are many outdoor activities nearby, from golf to riding, water skiing to climbing or even canyoning in the Pyrenees. Most families come to relax and take time to slow down a little, enjoy the food and wine, clean air and beautiful scenery.
