Lot Et Garonne

Le Basque is between Castillonnes & Villereal

 

We would like to extend a very warm welcome to visitors to our new site and hope that you enjoy reading about our luxuriously restored 14th century farm house set in its own grounds of 15 acres of woodlands/meadows & lawns with private pool (12m x 6m non-fenced) & a barn of 350 m2

The house was lived in by Henry IV of France at some point during his reign and he was assassinated in Paris in 1610, albeit being perhaps the most liked of all French King’s.  The immediate land area is know as “Basque” and this was Henry IV’s name.

Francoise Valadie’s family (Estate agents in the Market Hall of Villereal) owned the house for some time and sold it during the 1960’s, her father hid in the cellar under the dining room floor during the 1939/45 war as he was a member of the resistance (the trap door remains to this day).

Le Basque has 4/5 Bedrooms, 3 Bathrooms one with Jacuzzi, Spacious Living Room, Dining Room, Country Kitchen/Breakfast Room. The house sleeps 8/10 and pets are welcome.

The house has Central Heating, Wood Burning Stove, "Paul Bouse" double oven gas/electric range and Sky TV.
Le Basque offers every luxury and total privacy and tranquillity within its own grounds. It has magnificent views over the surrounding countryside and rolling hills beyond. Situated between the beautiful medieval towns of Castillonnes & Villereal, Issigeac & Monflanquin all of which have their markets on different days. The house is full of character and has beamed ceilings throughout. There is every modern convenience including a "Paul Bouse" double oven gas/electric range & hobs, including a childproof computerised none-residual heat hob, microwave, dishwasher, washing machine, dryer. There are 4 substantial double bedrooms one of which is a twin. In between the main bedroom and en-suite bathroom there is a large dressing room which has a bunk-bed for children.

There are both covered and uncovered terraces with an outside eating area and barbecue. The pool is salt rather than chloride and is maintained regularly. There are many fine walks to be taken either in the grounds or in the surrounding countryside.

Why not take your next holiday at our magnificent house and make it an experience that you'll never forget!
