PROPERTY DETAILS
Located at the heart of the medieval hilltop village of Lavardens this well-appointed house dating back to the 12th century enjoys wonderful views. Lavardens is a small listed village of 114 inhabitants with a general store, a restaurant, a café-brasserie, and a military-style chateau which features frequent exhibitions - all just 50 metres from the house. There are also several working artisans' studios adding to the pleasant atmosphere of the village.
At Castéra-Verduzan (9km) there are tennis courts, bike hire, horse riding, a leisure lake with a beach for swimming, fishing and windsurfing, a thermal spa and a casino. The area enjoys many village fêtes and night markets in the summer, with day markets in most of the villages and towns nearby. The beautiful town of Auch with its impressive cathedral and very good restaurants is just 20km away. There are 18 hole golf courses in Auch (20km) and Eauze (41km). Fleurance (15km) has a 9 hole course.
This is a beautiful part of France. It's quite rare to find a spacious and well-appointed 12th century village house with a private pool at the centre of a picturesque village with restaurants and wonderful views.
