We are looking for a house sitter from 12th January to 2nd February to look after our house and our two affectionate cats.
We are located in the heart of the Armagnac region about 10 minutes from the town of Condom - half way between Agen and Auch in Gers department of the Midi-Pyrenees region. Toulouse is about 1.5 hours away and Bordeaux 2 hours in the other direction. Skiing approximately 2 hours away to the South. San Sebastian 2.5 hours drive away. Plenty of areas to explore in the secret region of the Gers - known as the Tuscany of France.
Our house is an old maison de maitre which we have been renovating for the past three years and which is mostly now completed with all modern conveniences installed (oil, wood and electric heating throughout, all new utilities, windows, insulation etc).
We are rural based about 4 kms from nearest town shopping and restaurants and about 10 kms from larger supermarkets and restaurant choice.
Our 2 hectares of land comprises a lake and small ponds but is largely low maintenence in winter so no gardening to do.
Whether you wish to snuggle in for winter (English cable TV and Wifi throughout) or want to explore the nature (woods adjacent, walking and jogging trails, electric bicycles in barn) - the house can cater to all tastes.
South facing house and terraces so can be lovely on the terrrace taking in valley and lake views in the sun during mild winters.
Swimming pool closed for winter.
Accomdation for our sitters would be in a two bedroom two storey extension complete with own kitchen, dining living area, two bathrooms and covered terrace..
