Among the Vines of Armagnac, A Renovated Lakeside Residence
Set among the serene vineyards of Armagnac opposite a country lake, this circa 1830 farmhouse was renovated in 2024 in homage to regional architectural traditions. The Gascon country showplace retains its ancient stones, exposed timbers and tiled roofs, the sleekly redefined residence presenting a timelessly romantic retreat overlooking a glimmering country lake.
A Romantic French Country Retreat in the Armagnac Vineyards
Its four bedrooms, 3.5-hectare landscaped park and lavender-surrounded pool offering rural tranquility with a hefty dose of romance, this former farmhouse has been transformed into a genteel country manor, its 2024 renovation earning it a place on France’s “Most Beautiful Homes” list.
While the residence’s exterior reveals country living charms in its exposed stone, shaded patios and neatly manicured gardens, the villa’s interiors offer a more modern focus. Clean lines and minimalist styling present a serenely luxurious atmosphere, a place where four king bedrooms are dedicated to deep rest, two rooms featuring en-suite bathrooms.
Décor was created in a nod to ancient history and modern design. This is a residence where Roman busts meet modern accents such as Togo armchairs, a USM bar, contemplative (and deep!) soaking tubs, and a hidden home cinema, combined with farm-style furnishings such as wood tables, pale stone floors and a fireplace.
Outdoors, the lounger-lined pool stretches toward the lake’s banks, flower beds are abundant with blooms and fragrant shrubs, and badminton and boules courts offer added leisure. Outdoor entertainment areas are outfitted with a barbecue grill/plancha, a pizza oven, and outdoor kitchen, and there is watersport equipment available for guest use. A private forest extends around the private lake and its ponds,
Amenities include breakfast service, a concierge and daily cleaning. A chef and driver can be added. The property is available for retreats, seminars and photo shoots on request. And the 24/7 concierge can assist in creating experiences such as Armagnac vineyard tours and tastings, guided mountain biking or kayaking, and in-villa massage.
Around
In the heart of Gascony, in the hamlet of Lagardère, about 10 minutes from Vic Fezensac village, this traditional retreat is located in the tranquil rural region of the Gers, an area of castles and abbeys, vineyards and rural romance.
The home’s park offers hours of recreation, its forests alive with small wildlife, its lake great for kayaking and fishing, and its gaming courts set up for pétanque and badminton battles. The nearby bastide towns of Fources and Larressingle make for great day trips, as does the Abbey of Flaran. Market villages nearby include Vic Fezensac and Eauze, and many of the regional Armagnac vineyards are open for tours and tastings. There are traditional French restaurants, bakeries and inns within a half hour’s drive, and the Chateau of Lavardens is about 25 minutes away and open to visit.
