LECTOURE, Midi-Pyrénées, Address available on request

An 18th-century farmhouse to be redesigned, 10 minutes from the town of Lectoure in Gascony, with a view of the Pyrenees. Hedges demarcate this 7,000m² plot of land without diminishing its sweeping views of the surrounding countryside. Fruit trees dot the property. The building's south elevation stands out on the horizon. It follows the hill's crest. Low stone walls at the property's entrance underline the horizontality of the old edifice. A majestic ash tree towers beside it. There is a covered well next to the house too.

The different built sections form a rectangular shape. They include a dwelling, a barn and a cowshed. The edifice is typical of rural dwellings that were built in France's Gers department in the 18th and 19th centuries. The elevations are mainly made of earthen bricks or adobe. Some parts, such as the base courses, are made of limestone. The quoins and window and door surrounds are made of dressed stone left exposed. A double-row génoise cornice runs along the top of the elevations. Red barrel tiles cover the building's half-hipped roof.
