If you're looking for privacy, peace & quiet plus extraordinary views, then this renovated country home is perfect. And if you know a bit about the South West of France then you'll know that the 'Gers' is known as one of the most sought-after country locations.
Auch, which is the departmental capita,l is only 30 minutes drive from this property while Toulouse international airport is 45 minutes' drive. Beautifully renovated and situated on an elevated position, the residence offers unobstructed views for many kilometres over the French countryside and beyond to the Pyrenees and Spain on the horizon.

The main residence, while unpretentious, is luxuriously appointed and presented with a very comfortable, well thought-out floor plan. Over 560m2 of floor space has been carefully designed to provide a sense of comfort with rooms connecting comfortably as one moves through the ground floor.

During the renovation the owner took great care to make the most of original stone and wood features with the 200 bottle subterranean wine cellar being of particular note!
The Pyrenees mountain range provides a spectacular backdrop to the unobstructed views over rolling hills and for ski-lovers the mountain ski resorts can be reached in 90 minutes. The drinking water is supplied from the Barousse source in the mountains.

Mount Ascutney, Vermont - Travels With Phil
Mount Ascutney is the site of a State Park in eastern Vermont. At 2,270 feet above the surrounding territory, it has a great view from the summit. On a good day, you can see at least 4 states.
Mt Ascutney Recreational Trail Guide Link:
My Ascutney Parkway Brochure:
History: The origin of “Ascutney” is from the Abenaki “Cas-Cad-Nac,” meaning “mountain of the rocky summit;” an appropriate name for this prominent mountain peak rising abruptly from the Connecticut River valley. A permanent settlement, “Ascutegnik,” of peoples of the Cowasuck band of Abenaki tribe existed on lands near the mouth of the Sugar River. In modern geographic terms, this is across the Connecticut River from Ascutney Village on Route 131. Native peoples likely hunted, fished and camped around the mountain particularly at lower elevations.
Over time, European settlers adopted the place name “Ascutney” to refer to both the white settlement on the western side of the Connecticut River, and the prominent mountain peak. The mountain has long been featured in the history of Ascutney Village, the towns of Weathersfield and Windsor, which it lies in, and in the state of Vermont. Mount Ascutney was home to the first purposebuilt hiking trail in the United States. A group of local residents constructed a trail in 1825 to coincide with the visit of dignitary Marie-Joseph Paul Yves Roch Gilbert du Motier, Marquis de Lafayette (known commonly as General Lafayette, a French aristocrat and military officer in the American Revolutionary War). While Lafayette didn’t end up visiting the area, the trail became popular regionally. The next trail was built in 1858 and approximates the current-day Windsor Trail. This carriage-road style trail led to the high-elevation Tip Top House, which capitalized on summit tourism which was popular at the time. The modern trail system dates to the late 19th century and now consists of 4 base-to-summit trails on state land. The Ascutney Trails Association, the oldest trail organization in the United States, was formed in 1903. Park development occurred in the 1930’s as part of the Civilian Conservation Corps and in the early 1960’s with campground expansion,. The Futures Trail was built in 1983. Most recently, a new camping loop of cabins opened in 2018.
Across the river from Windsor, Vermont in the rural town of Cornish, New Hampshire, a collective of artists and sculptors settled with the peak of activity from the 1880’s to the 1930’s. Thus, the area became referred to as the Cornish Colony. Notable artists that lived in the area were Augustus Saint-Gaudens, Maxfield Parrish, Charles Platt, Thomas Dewing and writers Winston Churchill and J.D. Salinger. The estate of Augustus Saint-Gaudens is now Saint-Gaudens National Historical Park, part of the National Park System. - Travels with Phil copyrighted by Phil Konstantin -

Rock Creek Cemetery Grief Monument
Grave of Clover Adams, Washington DC society hostess who committed suicide, reportedly because of her husband's close relationship with someone else.
The memorial in Rock Creek Cemetery was done by Augustus Saint -Gaudens in 1915.
The Adams Memorial is a grave marker located in Section E of Rock Creek Cemetery, Washington, D.C., that features a cast bronze allegorical sculpture by Augustus Saint-Gaudens. The shrouded figure is seated against a granite block, which forms one side of a hexagonal plot, designed by architect Stanford White.
Erected in 1891, the monument was commissioned by author/historian Henry Adams (a member of the Adams political family) as a memorial to his wife, Marian Clover Hooper Adams. Marian Adams, suffering from depression, had died by suicide through the ingestion of potassium cyanide, which she otherwise used to retouch photographs. Adams advised Saint-Gaudens to contemplate iconic images from Buddhist devotional art. One such subject, Kwannon (also known as Guan Yin, the Bodhisattva of compassion), is frequently depicted as a seated figure draped in cloth. In particular, a painting of Kannon by Kanō Motonobu, in the collection of theMuseum of Fine Arts, Boston and shown to Saint-Gaudens by John LaFarge, is said to have played a major role in influencing the conception and design of this sculpture. Saint-Gaudens may also have been influenced by Parisian funerary art from his stay in France.
On March 16, 1972, the Adams Memorial was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Liege, carillon of Saint-Barthelemy's church.
Le carillon provient de l'abbaye de Val-Saint-Lambert et se trouve dans la tour sud. Il est de Mathias van den Gheyn (Louvain) et date de 1774. Ce n'est que récemment, après un restauration profonde de l'église qu'il a été remis en fonction. Les cloches de volée devraient suivre dans la tour nord.
De beiaard is afkomstig van de abdij van Val-Saint-Lambert en bevindt zich in de zuidertoren. Hij is van Mathias van den Gheyn (Leuven) en dateert van 1774. Hij werd slechts onlangs opnieuw in gebruik genomen, na de grondige restauratie van de kerk. De luidklokken in de noordertoren zouden moeten volgen.
The carillon is coming from the abbey of Val-Saint-Lambert and is located in the South tower. It was cast by Mathias van den Gheyn (Leuven) in 1774. Only recently it was taken back in use, after a profound restoration of the church. The ringing bells will follow in the North tower.
