Overview

Poulhaumont

This large, 19th-century beamed farmhouse nestles in four acres of complete seclusion in the Pyrénées foothills, just an hour's drive south of Toulouse airport. The detached holiday property snuggles up against thick woods at the end of a long private drive and boasts large gardens. It has been extensively renovated to a very good standard and offers five bedrooms, a spacious first floor veranda overlooking the gardens, a games room and a very private large swimming pool with impressive views. A small river runs by the border of the grounds, with small beaches and fishing possibiilities. Located in the ancient region of Gascony, surrounded by gently undulating hills and unspoilt countryside with a dramatic backdrop provided by the Pyrénées, the area makes for excellent walking and cycling. Day excursions not to be missed include ‘La Ville Rose’ of Toulouse and the world famous, medieval fortified city of Carcassonne - to visit Carcassonne is to be transported to the Middle Ages.
