Pretty Farmhouse with Stunning Views of Pyrenees and 12m Swimming Pool

Menjoun is a 19th centuary farmhouse lovingly restored in 2019 by Guy and Andrew, who have many years experience of successfully running high quality gites in this stunning area. Located in one of the most beautiful and authentic regions of S.W. France, this spacious, sunny and stylishly furnished property boasts 3 large comfortable bedrooms, a huge, well equiped kitchen and dining area situated in a beautifully converted barn, and a comfortable through to kitchen sitting room, all with spectacular views across to the stunning Pyrenees or behind to the pretty Nère Valley and the Chateau d'Eoux. The house retains its original wooden beams and the ground floor has been entirely covered in beautiful, clear travertine stone. The large 12 x 4 meter, travertine terraced pool is West facing and receives sun all day. Just perfect for sunset drinks! Because the pool has steps and has a single depth of 135 cm, it is safe for children and pool games. An electronic pool cover enables you to cover the pool at night and guard the daytime heat. The very large downstairs bedroom has a comfortable walk in shower room attached, with toilet and sink. The two sizable attic rooms share a good sized bathroom with bath, toilet and sink. The adjacent hall has a cot for babies should it be required. The house is extremely quiet and is situated in a small hamlet of 3 houses surrounded by beautiful, hilly countryside. The track leading to the house is a cul de sac. You will be lucky to see a single car pass in a week! Situated just 50 minutes from the stunning, historic city of Toulouse, with its large airport and magnificent renaissance heart, fine restaurants, shops and museums, Benque is close to the lovely medieval village of Aurignac with its restaurants, cafés, beer garden and great shops, including 2 butchers, 3 bakers, a small supermarket, fruit and veg shop, a small cinema, a gym and a pharmacy close to a modern doctors clinique. The thriving Saturday morning market is a must for those wishing to buy organic and locally grown produce. Spain is just one hour away and it is only 2 hours drive to Narbonne Plage on the Mediterranean Sea or 2 and a half to Biarritz and the Atlantic Coast. Other easily accessible sites include Carcasonne, Albi and Pau.
