Midi-Pyrénées, Gers, Lectoure, France

At Bliss, we have a particular fondness for exceptional and truly unique homes, and this remarkable contemporary property is unlike anything else we have had the privilege of presenting.

Set in a peaceful location midway between Lectoure and Condom, the house is approached along a quiet country lane winding through beautiful woodland. Hidden within this natural setting, its striking contemporary architecture comes as a complete surprise.

Surrounded by mature trees and gently sloping grounds leading towards a small private lake, the clean architectural lines of the house create a spectacular contrast with the surrounding countryside. Yet the combination of glass, metal and brick allows the property to sit harmoniously within the landscape.

The house stands in approximately 1.9 hectares of grounds and has been designed with exceptional attention to detail, using refined, high-quality materials throughout. Entirely arranged on one level, it is filled with natural light thanks to large sliding windows that disappear into the walls, opening the interiors directly onto the garden and terraces.

At the heart of the property is an impressive 106 m² living space where the kitchen, dining area and sitting room flow seamlessly together. Much of the kitchen equipment is discreetly concealed behind fitted doors, creating an elegant and uncluttered interior. A fireplace with insert provides warmth and atmosphere, while large travertine tiles extend visually towards the south-facing terrace, also finished in travertine and overlooking the garden and lake.

The accommodation includes three spacious bedrooms, one bathroom and two shower rooms, one with a sauna. A fourth bedroom with bathroom and WC is accessible directly from the terrace, making it ideal for guests.

The property also benefits from an excellent level of technical equipment, including integrated indoor and outdoor sound systems, adjustable lighting, a high-definition BENQ home cinema, solar hot water, underfloor heating via an air-to-water heat pump, bespoke Technal aluminium double-glazed windows, and a high-end fitted kitchen.

Outside, the carefully designed landscaping continues the same level of refinement. The swimming pool, equipped with a counter-current system, features an ingenious sliding resin terrace that can completely cover the pool when not in use.

Elegant, original and beautifully integrated into its surroundings, this is above all a home designed for comfortable living, entertaining and enjoying an exceptional natural setting.
