Midi-Pyrénées, Gers, Montréal, France

A43206NJD32 - A harmonious collection of stone buildings typical of the Gers, the property immediately evokes the charm and authenticity of Gascony. Pale stone façades are complemented by traditional deep red shutters — a distinctive regional feature that adds warmth and character.

The main house is welcoming and practical, entered via a central kitchen (18 m²) which forms the heart of the home. From here, the accommodation flows into a cosy living room (17 m²) with wood-burning stove and dual-aspect windows, and two generously proportioned bedrooms (both 17 m²). A shower room (6 m²) completes the layout.

One bedroom benefits from independent access via French doors opening onto a terrace, offering flexibility for guests. Across this terrace, a separate stone room (12.5 m²) provides a third bedroom with its own entrance.

The independent guest cottage adds further appeal, offering ideal accommodation for visiting family or potential rental use. The ground floor comprises an open-plan living and dining space (22 m²) centred around an original stone fireplace, with provision for a wood-burning stove. Above, a charming sleeping area (18 m²) with exposed beams enjoys elevated views across the surrounding countryside.

Barns & Outbuildings

A particularly attractive feature of the property is the extensive range of barns and outbuildings, offering exceptional flexibility and development potential.

A large barn (75 m²), accessed directly from behind the kitchen, is currently arranged as a spacious dining and entertaining area. Double barn doors open to both front and rear, creating a natural indoor–outdoor flow. This space also includes a shower room and WC, with stairs leading to a substantial converted attic (approx. 74 m² and 36 m²), currently arranged as two sleeping areas beneath exposed timber rafters.

An adjoining barn (78 m²) offers further scope for development, with an additional converted attic space above (78 m²), ideal for creating further accommodation or studio space.

A smaller barn (20 m²) remains unconverted, while a large garage (40 m²) with electricity provides practical storage or workshop potential. A substantial covered hanger to the front of the property offers additional space for vehicles or equipment.

Together, these buildings present a rare opportunity to significantly expand the living footprint, subject to any necessary permissions.

Land & Setting

The property is set within approximately 14,065 m² (1.4 hectares) of land, surrounding the buildings and opening onto unspoilt countryside.

The elevated position provides far-reaching views across fields and gently rolling landscapes, with the Pyrenees visible on the horizon in clear weather — a particularly special feature that enhances the sense of space and tranquillity.

The hamlet is home to the charming Église Saint-Jean-Baptiste de Balarin, reflecting the area’s long-standing architectural heritage, while the nearby Château de Balarin adds to the historical character and quiet charm of the setting.
