Gem of a Small Village Farm for Renovation
Home Page
Farm for sale in Mielan, Gers, France

This lovely small former farm (93m² habitable) sits off a small country road on the outskirts of a small and peaceful village east of Rabastens, close to all shops, banks and schools, and has a huge amount more to offer in its extensive outbuildings, sitting in 4,700m² of wooded land.

You pass through the gates into a pretty courtyard in front of the house, and enter the doorway in the middle of the south facing façade of the house. This leads into the kitchen area (10m²) to the left, and the living room (26m²), with open fireplace and stone sink, to the right, Off the kitchen is a bathroom (6.6m²) and separate wc (1m²), and off the living room is the bedroom (12.5m²).

These rooms all have original ‘tommettes’ – local red fired floor tiles, highly prized – and lots of charm.

To the left of the kitchen, with separate access from the garden, is the ‘L’ shaped cellar (36.5m² ground floor area), with an original bread oven.

From the kitchen a staircase takes you to the first floor loft area which covers the entire house and cellar ground floor area (93m²), offering enormous potential for conversion to further living accommodation.

The other outbuildings just add to the great potential of this property. To the right of the living room is a hangar (open sided barn) extending the depth of the house, leading into a workshop, which further leads into an enormous former stable backing on to the bedroom and the cellar. All these buildings could be converted to create a wonderful large family home, or sectioned off to create gites or a granny annexe, or both…..

In the garden you find a former ‘borie’, shepherd’s hut, not so small and on two floors (20m² each), which could equally be utilised as a gite, or childrens play den, or garden storage….

The grounds total 4,700m², of which about a third, immediately around the house, is flat and could welcome a pool, then a third rises up a hill and is planted with oaks and walnuts with a feast of wild mushrooms in the autumn (cêpes, chanterelles etc), and the remainder on top of the hill is planted with cherry trees.

The main aspect of the house is to the south, and current areas habitable need some refreshment. The walls are of local stone, the roof is tiled, the window frames are wood. The roofs of the hangar and the stable are of tile and canal tile. Heating is provided by a wood burner in the open fire, hot water is from an immersion, and there is a septic tank.

The property is situated just five minutes from most shops, less than 10 minutes from the market town of Rabastens de Bigorre with all amenities, 25mins from Tarbes (TGV, golf, motorway), 1 hour from Pau (Ryanair), 1hr 45mins from Biarritz (also Ryanair) and the Atlantic beach resorts, 1hr 15mins from Spain, and from the top ski resorts, 1hr 45mins from Toulouse (Easyjet, Flybe, BMIBaby, Aer Lingus), and 3 hours from the Mediterranean..
