Case in vendita a Francia

Located between Masseube and Lannemezan is this grand and prestigious estate for sale offering 647m2 of living space and five hectares (12 acres) of grounds. Its new owner will have an impressive and distinguished property.The marriage of modern and mature has been particularly successful in this building which dates from the 17th century and was formerly a monastic farm.Sought-after by glossy magazines, this property has allied old charm with spectacular contemporary architecture to become one of the multipurpose jewels of the region in terms of aesthetics, elegance and technology.At times a multi generational home with its two dwellings, eight bedrooms and five bathrooms, a gite or maison d'hotes, an equestrian property or an aeronautical base, this estate will meet all your demands.In these two buildings, the mature and the modern meet permanently, recapturing the famous debate which shook 17th century literature.This 'L' shaped farm house consists of an older east wing and a modern south wing. They are separated by three stable boxes which leave the impression that horses are part of the family and home as illustrated in the photo taken of the little girl from the spacious 133m2 living room.This immense living space is incontestably the main room or the nerve centre of the property. Without introducing technical aspects at this point (underfloor heating and cooling systems, technical prowess of the conception and fabrication of the unsupported gangway, double sided fireplace etc:) this space inspires serenity and alternates concrete, wood, metal and glass whilst respecting the equilibrium of the materials and Asian traditions of well-being.The contemporary wing of the house will appeal due to its austere kitchen (Bulthaup), master bedroom suite with private bathroom and walk-in wardrobe and, without forgetting, the cinema projection room with integrated Bose speakers and covered terrace. The interior heated pool has a computer controlled wave machine and a particularly precise and automated climate control system reducing humidity to such an extent as to never see condensation on the sliding patio doors.The east wing has features typical of more traditional homes in the region: spacious rooms, cement tile or terra cotta flooring, half-timbered walls, mud walls and lime-based paints.Outside, an equestrian paradise is available with five hectares of fenced pastures, shelters, a well, a pond and automated feeding pens. The land is perfect for adding an outdoor pool. There is also a double garage and a workshop.It is possible to acquire a further nine attached hectares and rent two spaces for housing small aircraft in the hangar of a nearby airstrip.You will be close to all commerce and services, 1h from skiing and from thermal spa, 1h30 from Toulouse and airport, 2h from the Atlantic coast and 3h from the Mediterranean coast.
