Beautiful Private Property Set in Landscaped Grounds, Saint-Maurin, France, Montargen - La Seoune

Montargen, which is old french and means mountain of silver, is a beautiful private property set in 3.1 hectares (7.8 acres) of landscaped grounds on the slopes of a secluded valley on the outskirts of the ancient village of Saint-Maurin in South West France. The main property is the Manoir, a large 13th century farmhouse. La Seoune and Le Sempesserre (named after local rivers) are the two accessible self-catering holiday gites converted from the propertys guest house. This property is thought to have been built at a later date, possibly during the French revolution in the late 18th century to serve as a staging post for horseback travellers and messengers.

All three properties are south-facing and share the same landscaped grounds, maintained to a high standard with the aid of an automatic irrigation system. The property is accessed through electric gates. The 12m x 6m shared private swimming pool is situated immediately outside the gites in a sheltered area of the gardens. The neighbours are mostly French farmers, as the property is surrounded by unspoilt working arable farmlands, unchanged for centuries. The grounds contain, amongst other things, a ruined tower and natural springs with black and golden carp and local frogs populating the spring pools. There are ‘resident’ deer that wander the property and offer occasional sightings to the vigilant.
