Les Deux Lacs

Converted from a large ancient stone barn, there is great scope for modifying the design shown below with its four/ five bedrooms each with en suite bathroom. It is very feasible to have four to six bedrooms on the extensive groundfloor. The walls have been completely renovated and an entirely new roof constructed, but utilising many of the old tiles.
For Les Deux Lacs (the Two Lakes) a large garden is available and the lie of the land would lend itself to an additional terrace being constructed from the local stone, which was originally quarried on the Tachau Estate only 100 yards from this former barn. There is a choice of excellent sites for a swimming pool.

Freehold: E 252,520.

Le Mont St Jean

This desirable 6000 sqM building site is at the hill of St John midway between the upper and lower hamlets of Tachau. It has outline planning permission (Certificate d'Urbanisation) for a typical Lot & Garonne three bedroom house, constructed wherever possible in local materials, utilising Roman clay tiled roofing, stone (or stone clad) walling or corner stones with crepi rendering over French brick.
There are existing supplies of electricity and water to this site but the purchaser should ascertain the veracity of these services. The nearest telephone pole is a few yards away. For the fosse toutes eaux there is a suitable ditch running in front of the building site.

This tranquil site has 360 degree brilliant views over unspoilt countryside and has an attractive oak copse as part of its garden.

Freehold: E 48,510.

Les Canards

Constructed on the site of one of the older barns on the Tachau Estate, also on part of the footprint of the first stone house on this ancient farmstead, exposing some of the 400 year old wall. The farmhouse kitchen is vast, leading into a substantial dining room and extensive salon, with large entrance hall. The mansion has five bedrooms, one en suite. Backing onto a charming courtyard, all the rooms are of a very generous size and, wherever possible, old materials have been re-used to provide a building of great character. The garden faces towards open fields, woodland and our lakes beyond 'Les Canards' (The Ducks). An extensive flagstone slabbed patio leads onto two lawned terraced areas, both with well stocked flower beds. In addition, there is a smaller rear garden adjacent to the pretty gravelled courtyard, originally one of the farmyards. There is plenty of space on the lower lawn for a sizeable swimming pool. Alternatively, this beautiful large house can be rented at E1250 per month on a long let basis. It benefits from modern electric central heating throughout. The tenants are responsible for paying their own water, electricity and rates.

Freehold: E 350,000.
