Gascony farmhouse with guesthouse and land near Mongausy in the department of Gers in Midi-Pyrenees.

Mongausy is a tiny country village in the Gers. Only five miles away you will find Saramon with all the shops and schools you need for your daily living. It is also known for its leisure centre with lake and an annual world champion duck eating competition! Nearby Samatan hosts a thriving weekly market and is renowned for its foie gras.

Near Mongausy I have found you this charming Gascony farm and guesthouse with a sumptuous five acre plot of land. There is also the possibility of buying more land: a further 50 acres. This is a comfortable, four bedroomed family home with a really cosy feel to it.

Even more remarkable are the original features that are visible throughout this homely Gascony farm. You will admire the impressive oak beams and terracotta floor tiles for example.

A broad overview of what this typical Gascony farm has to offer: Sitting room with a closed wood-burning fireplace, dining room with open fire place, small kitchen (equipped) and a family bathroom with bath and toilet.

Taking a stroll to the back of the house we enter a large kitchen and practical pantry. Formerly this part of the farm was used for the production and storage of cheese. Now it also offers you a large office area, also useable as a guest suite.

Attached to the house, but with its own entrance, the farm accommodates a spacious, fully up to date, two bedroomed guesthouse. The guesthouse can accommodate up to six guests. This guesthouse (or gite in French) offers a spacious open plan sitting area, dining area and open plan kitchen - again with a stylish closed wood-burning fireplace. A family bathroom with bath and shower and separate toilet offers all convenience.

The department of Gers is often described by those who know France as an excellent area to visit, if not the best area of France for Brits who want to relocate. It is not over-run however and indeed, the department has a diverse array of assets to discover, some of them are obvious; the rolling countryside, very mild climate, the Pyrenees mountains, whilst others remain more subtle like the hearty food, local culture, street markets and Gascon traditions. Foreigners often refer to the area as Gascony, referring to the former French province.

The department is generally an agricultural area where the local gastronomy is highly regarded by both French nationals and foreign expats. The most cultivated crops in Gers are Colza, Grain, Sunflowers and Corn. Some of the older locals may speak a Gascon patois, but its usage remains in decline among the younger generations. The largest Gersoise towns in terms of number of inhabitants are Auch, Condom and Fleurance but even these are not overly large.
