Maison Coeur - Four Bedroom Villa, Sleeps 10

Maison Coeur was the original farmhouse on what used to be an Armagnac farm in the gorgeous Gers region of South West France – this is Musketeers, foie gras and Grand Armagnac country. The original stables and the original chai (where the Armagnac used to be stored) are still there, whilst the vines immediately surrounding the property have been replaced by fields of maize and sunflowers.

The property has been completely restored and brought back to life by the former owners in 2016 and is now under new ownership.

Maison Coeur is a beautiful spacious property where everything has been thought of, a real home-from-home full of personal touches and homely comforts. Recent upgrades include air-conditioning in the two living rooms, which also provide heat for the cooler months.

The nearest village, only 4km away, is Estang and there you'll find your morning croissants and a lovely restaurant and bar, a butcher, fresh produce and a pharmacy. If you need a large supermarket or other restaurants you need only travel to Cazaubon (13km), Nogaro (12km) or Eauze (23km) and there are some great weekly markets in Eauze, Barbotan and Vic Fezensac.

The area is also famous for the historical racing event held at the Nogaro circuit as well as the biggest jazz festival in Europe held at Marciac every summer.

And for winter getaways, you can be skiing in only two hours when not enjoying the warmth and comfort of the house and its woodburner.

Maison Coeur is a warm and enchanting family home amidst sweeping cornfields, dreamy hills and some of France’s most wonderful food and wine. It's not called Little Tuscany without good reason!

A post office, public tennis courts, public pool, church, rugby courts and a wine facility can also be reached on foot from the property. For a wider range of facilities including supermarkets and gourmet restaurants, head to the close by towns of Cazaubon (13km), Nogaro (12km) or Eauze (23km).

If you are fan of weekly markets, you won't be disappointed as there are plenty of options in the surrounding villages: Eauze, Barbotan and Vic Fezensac are just a few examples.

The popular motorsport race track Circuit Paul Armagnac is located in Nogaro.

Spring is a very interesting time of the year with several cultural and music events taking place in the whole region.
