About this property
Framed by the unspoilt landscapes of rural Gers, this authentic country estate offers an opportunity to experience simple, traditional living in picturesque surroundings. Set across 27 acres of private grounds, Lagahe combines two charming stone buildings encircling a sunlit central courtyard, with views that stretch over rolling fields and rotational sunflowers. It is a place for long afternoons and starlit evenings, where rustic charm meets gentle practicality.
Inside the main house, original character flows through the large, comfortable living and dining areas. Beamed ceilings, cool tiled floors and classic furnishings create an atmosphere that is both welcoming and unpretentious. Each of the four ensuite double bedrooms reflects the home’s lived-in warmth, with a further study and fully equipped kitchen completing the space. Across the courtyard, the garden house provides a fifth ensuite bedroom and its own kitchen and lounge (with extra single beds for children), perfect for added privacy or multi-generational stays.
Life here gravitates naturally outdoors. A large, lawned garden blends into the surrounding meadows and woodland, while the heart of the property is its central courtyard, bursting with greenery, herbs and the gentle chatter of shared meals. Just beyond, the private swimming pool cool refreshment on sun-drenched days, complete with a pool house, sun terrace and drinks fridge for easy living.
Located just off the road leading to the lively market town of Mauvezin (3km), guests have easy access to local shops, restaurants and seasonal festivals. The town’s hilltop setting, historic architecture and famously quirky garlic fête lend a distinct charm, while the broader Gers region is a patchwork of rivers, fields and medieval villages waiting to be discovered. Auch is within half an hour, and Toulouse is just an hour’s drive away.
Surrounded by the rolling hills of the Lomagne countryside, Lagahe offers a traditional retreat amid the rural beauty of the Gers department in southwest France. Just five minutes by car from the lively market town of Mauvezin, and just off two D-roads leading to local villages, this holiday abode is perfectly placed for exploring a landscape shaped by tradition, gastronomy and warm-hearted community life.
The nearby bastide town of Mauvezin (3km) is a local gem, perched between the Gimone and Arratz rivers and centred around a striking 14th-century market hall. Its weekly markets and vibrant summer calendar bring the square to life, especially during the famous Garlic Festival, where sculpted garlic, music and dancing take centre stage. The village offers all essential amenities, as well as cafés, bakeries and traditional restaurants for a taste of local life.
Country roads lead to Sarrant (6km) and Montfort (12km), two charming medieval villages where cobbled streets and artisan shops invite slow, scenic strolls. A little further afield in pretty Saint-Clar (23km), the Maison de l’Ail celebrates Lomagne garlic, the region’s culinary crown jewel. Meanwhile, dine out in restaurants that showcase the importance in Gersois cuisine, especially the richly flavoured duck dishes for which the area is famed. This is a place where food is heritage, and every meal is a celebration of the land.
Auch (31km), the historic capital of Gers and just half an hour away, offers a larger town atmosphere with elegant squares, soaring cathedral towers and narrow lanes lined with boutiques and bistros. For a day in the city, Toulouse is only an hour’s drive – a dynamic cultural hub with chic pedestrianised streets, stylish shopping and a buzzing riverside dining scene.
Whether you’re exploring idyllic villages, enjoying long countryside lunches or simply soaking up rural France, Lagahe is an ideal base to experience the understated charm and gourmet pleasures of the Gers.
