About this property
Château de Gaujac is a handsome French home offering a country escape in rural Gascony. This welcoming detached abode sits at the edge of a tiny village of just 150 residents, where time seems to slip gently by. Across its two floors, the house blends traditional French architecture with charming furnishings, promising a restful stay for families and groups alike.
Inside, spacious living areas invite relaxed gathering, from the elegant music room with piano to a cosy lounge with UK TV and a second salon featuring an electric piano and games table. The kitchen is bright and impressively equipped, with dual ovens, an American-style fridge-freezer and air-conditioning for warm summer days. It feels like a step back in time across the four attractive bedrooms, each with gorgeous décor and en suite bathrooms.
Outside the château, discover the shaded loggia and flowering courtyards. At the heart of it all lies the private 14-metre pool, surrounded by loungers and framed by gardens. Long lunches are best enjoyed on the dining terrace, while the evening air is ideal for a game of table tennis or a glass of local wine. Cross the road and admire the chateau’s orchard with its plum, walnut, pear and fig trees alongside a rose garden with views towards the distant Pyrénées.
Château de Gaujac sits just 10 minutes from the market town of Lombez, where you’ll find a bakery, restaurant and the historic Lombez Cathedral. Golf enthusiasts can enjoy a course just a short distance away, while those seeking city culture are just over an hour from Toulouse. The wider Gers region offers a taste of authentic southwest France, with medieval villages, vineyards and sweeping countryside at every turn.
Château de Gaujac invites you to unwind in space, comfort and rural charm, far from the rush of everyday life.
On the edge of a tiny Gers village, Château de Gaujac offers a beautiful place to stay amid the gently rolling countryside of south-west France. With fewer than 150 inhabitants, the rural hamlet is surrounded by sunflower fields, quiet country lanes and the timeless charm of Gascony. The château sits along a country road, just opposite its own orchard and rose garden with views towards the Pyrenees.
Just 8km away, the historic village of Lombez provides essential amenities including a well-stocked supermarket and a restaurant. Don’t miss a visit to the 14th-century Lombez Cathedral, with its striking Gothic tower and atmospheric cloister. Nearby Samatan (10km) is a must for food lovers, especially its famous Monday market brimming with local duck, foie gras and seasonal produce.
Gimont (21km) and L’Isle-Jourdain (30km), both within easy reach, offer further glimpses into Gers’ slow-living charm. L’Isle-Jourdain’s lake is perfect for nature walks, picnics, tennis and summer watersports whilst there is fishing nearby on the Save River.
For lovers of the outdoors, this region is a quiet paradise. Meandering country trails invite scenic walks, bike rides or even horse-riding excursions through the idyllic landscape. Golf enthusiasts can tee off just 7km away at Golf du Château de Barbet. History buffs can explore the romantic Château de Caumont or head west to the impressive cathedral town of Auch (35km) for its Renaissance architecture and vibrant market scene.
A little further afield, the dynamic city of Toulouse (62km) makes for a rewarding day trip. Just an hour’s drive away, it offers a rich blend of art, rose-tinted architecture, aerospace heritage and canal-side dining.
But the heart of your stay lies in the authentic pleasures of the Gers: leisurely mornings, rustic charm and the unforgettable flavours of the local cuisine.
