About this property

Charming farmhouse with private heated pool and amazing mountain views.

A Puntos is a traditional French farmhouse with amazing mountain views, private heated pool all set within a very large landscaped garden.

Sitting on the edge of the sleepy hamlet of Mont de Marrast in the Gers, A Puntos is a modernised Gascon farmhouse which retains many of its original features including oak beams, floorboards, floor tiles and fireplaces.

The property is accessed by a long private driveway and set in 2.5 acres of gardens. Facing due south and on a high on a ridge, both the house and the swimming pool bask in daylong sunshine and command fabulous, uninterrupted views of the Pyrenees.

There is exclusive use of 10 x 5 metre pool, with Roman steps, which is surrounded by a paved area that has 8 sun loungers. There is also a shaded pergola with a rattan seating area where you can cool off, have a drink or just sit back, relax and enjoy the peace and quiet. Pool heating has been installed, as with a pool alarm and there is a thermal blanket to keep the pool warm at night.

A Puntos has a covered terrace with seating for 8 which is accessed by French doors from the kitchen. It is raised above the garden, shaded and has wonderful views toward the south of the Gers and the mountains. This is perfect for a sunny breakfast or a more shaded lunch or dinner with friends and family.
There is also a herb garden, a traditional weber charcoal BBQ alongside a large Gas Barbecue. There is an additional another outdoor table that will seat 8 and a separate seating area for relaxing.

The kitchen has a traditional large French table with seating for 8 and is equipped to a high standard with a wood stove, separate oven and gas hob, microwave, dishwasher, American style fridge freezer and a large washing machine. There is also a Sonos sound system in the kitchen and a new SAGE expresso coffee machine.

The lounge has a 45 inch HD smart TV, British Freesat, DVD player and Amazon HD FireStick alongside an internet MESH system which provides full internet coverage across the property which has enough bandwidth to easily stream films on multiple devices access to Netflix or Amazon Prime. There is also a selection of books, DVDs and games available which includes an outdoor petanque and croquet set.

There are 4 comfortable, spacious and well equipped bedrooms (4 king sized beds) along with modernised bathrooms on each floor, one of which has a large walk in shower room.

Come and enjoy the local food, wine and relaxing atmosphere of A Puntos where you can enjoy long lazy days with friends and family either on the terrace, around the pool or just anywhere in the large and beautiful landscaped gardens.

De belles vacances familiales dans une belle maison de campagne
Nous avons passé de très bonnes vacances familiales ce mois d'août. La maison correspond fidèlement aux photos publiées. Située bien au calme avec une vue magnifique. La maison est par ailleurs très bien équipée (bonne litterie, parasols, outils de cuisine, tv, internet, bbq, ...). Last but not least, les propriétaires sont très sympathiques !

Wonderful family holiday
The farmhouse is beautifully renovated, the kitchen is well equipped, all mod-cons, great wifi. The pool is fantastic! The location is relatively remote, in a peaceful spot nestled between two very small villages. The local town (Tries) has everything you need for daily essentials, butcher, bakers, grocers, plus an Intermarche. For larger supermarkets (hypermarkets), various options are further afield near Auch or Tarbes. Grand Frais in Tarbes was fun. There are plenty of fantastic local markets, we enjoyed Mirande and the huge market at Lannemezan, which also seems to have some good restaurant options. Marciac is a beautiful town, and a must when the Jazz festival is on, there's lots to see and free music in the main square and a few other locations in town. We enjoyed some trips to the nearby Castelnau-Magnoac which has a good little market, a reservoir with pedalos (about 5km walk around it), and a fantastic bakery/patisserie La P'tite Boheme We made a couple of day trips to the Pyrenees, although most destinations in the mountains are a couple of hours drive each way. Graeme and Kirsty stay next door (next house along) and were never intrusive but were available to help when we needed it, and have a wealth of local knowledge to share. Thanks both for helping make it an awesome and memorable holiday for all of us!

Nous avons passé un très bon séjour à Mont-de-Marrast entre amis. La maison convient bien à 2 couples avec enfants. La maison est très agréable, le terrain avec la piscine est très bien aménagé avec une vue superbe sur les Pyrénées (par beau temps). Graeme était très disponible, accueillant et attentionné pendant toute la durée de notre séjour.

Perfect
Many times in the past we have been disappointed on arrival at a house that has sounded perfect in the advertising, but not this time. For us this was the perfect spot. It is a beautifully appointed house in a wonderful position. Lying by the pool in complete silence looking out across farmland to the Pyrenees, is all we did and all that we wanted to do. There is, of course, plenty of good eating in the pretty villages around - Marciac and Bassoues, for example - and the usual excellent markets for various foods. The house is very well equipped with every gadget and device - good dishwasher, good washing machine, good TV, good lighting and excellent bathrooms. Outside there is a beautiful pool with high quality pool furniture all set in a large garden. What more can I say?

La maison est fidèle à la description qui en a été faite. Les hôtes sont charmants, discrets, et entretiennent le jardin et la piscine pendant que tout le monde dort encore. La literie est excellente, les salles de bains très vastes et confortables, la cuisine très bien équipée. Nous avons vraiment apprécié la salle à manger extérieure. Le terrain est immense, ce qui garantit le calme et une très très belle vue sur les Pyrennées et la magnifique campagne vallonnée. Nous avons visité la région, et avons apprécié la beauté des paysages, et l'accueils des locaux. Nous reviendrons sans doute !

We both live in Scotland, work in the UK and try to get over to France as much as we can.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with the property as soon as we saw it. We love the house itself, the big gardens, the pool, which we have now heated, and the amazing views over the mountains. It really is a getaway from all the hustle and bustle of our busy city life's.

What makes this property unique

What is special about A Puntos.....I would say everything but then, I suppose, I am biased. If I had to pick one thing, it would be sitting on the terrace, with a warm breeze in my face looking at the mountains and enjoying the peace and tranquility. Obviously, with a glass of wine!!!
