Pardaillan, Aquitaine 47120

This magnificent country mansion was once described as a living work of art by its owner; the famous British royal painter Norman Douglas Hutchinson. As you approach the house, nestled high up in a peaceful setting, with no close neighbors to disturb your privacy, you will immediately understand why.Each of its spacious and bright rooms seems to flow harmoniously into a perfect composition. This impression continues outside, in the gardens designed by Hutchinson himself. The parterre leads to the courtyard, the water lily pond, the terrace and then the swimming pool - so many hidden and surprising wonders, to be discovered behind the shrubs and ancient topiaries.Having recently undergone extensive renovations (including the installation of a new roof, modern central heating system and double-glazed windows), this country manor house elegantly blends its timeless beauty with the comforts of a 21st century home. Whether it's a main residence or a charming holiday home, it will welcome and inspire you.
