    retreat.

 

 

La Jeanne 

This beautiful rural property is situated on the outskirts of a small village yet just a short drive from the bustling market and popular tourist town of Aire Sur L'Adour (8km) and the charming village of Riscle (8km).

 

Aire Sur L'Adour

 

 

The main town which lies on the river Adour on the border of the departments of the Gers and the Landes of Southwest France has an intriguing mixture of old and new.

 

Traditional French architecture  blends almost invisibly with modern shops, bars, open markets, supermarkets, banks, restaurants and   sports facilities.

 

The area is famous for  delicious foie gras and fabulous healthy Madiran wines and Armagnac.

View to the West

 

 

The word "Gite"  is used quite liberally in France and for some conjures up images of   large complexes of renovated farmhouses, barns, cow sheds or cellars.

La Jeanne Holiday Cottage is a completely self contained self catering holiday cottage comfortably accommodating up to six    people .The cottage has recently been completely refurbished to the highest standard.

 

What's inside ?

The main  door opens into a large fully fitted kitchen diner with exposed beams and tiled floor and leads into the bright lounge with a wooden staircase. Electric radiators and wood burner  provide heating for winter nights.

A hallway from the lounge gives access to a large double bedroom, a toilet, huge hand basin, hydrotherapy shower cubicle and an automatic washing machine.

 

Lower floor  lounge

 

A door in the hallway allows access to the

rear of the property and the private driveway.

The wooden staircase from the lounge leads

to the first floor which is a fabulous attic conversion.

The mixture of the old and modern features creates a warm and stylish space and comprises 2 large double bedrooms separated by a 2nd lounge or further bedroom should the need arise.

 

 

What's outside ?

A  private vehicle access and lawn large

 enough for tennis, large gravelled patio area with shrubs and flowered rockeries, a second private lawn area for sunbathing and raised decked patio area with family sized   (5 mtr. dia.) above ground pool.

 

The patio is a real sun trap  overlooking unspoilt valleys to the wine producing village of Saint-Mont.
