Maison Des Sculptures | 6-Bedroom Villa with Private Pool in CONDOM

Fourteen guests arrive at a cobbled street in Condom, southwestern France, and step into an 18th-century mansion where contemporary art meets centuries-old stone walls. Maison Des Sculptures sleeps 15 guests across 6 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms, offering the kind of space where multi-generational families and friend groups abandon their usual hierarchies and become something closer to a creative commune for a week.

Inside Maison Des Sculptures

The ground floor announces itself with architectural confidence. A living room anchors one corner with a working fireplace; the adjacent dining room—also fireplace-equipped—seats 17 around a single table, its doors opening directly onto the gardens. The kitchen commands respect: a traditional cooking piano with dual ovens, a professional-grade hob, a central plancha griddle, two sinks, a steam oven, microwave, espresso machine, and chest freezer suggest the owners anticipated serious cooking ambitions. An adjoining library with fireplace provides a secondary living space, with two children’s beds (70x200cm) nestled into its quieter corner. A reading room offers solitude when needed, while ground-floor WC facilities serve the entertaining spaces.

One ground-floor bedroom features a 140cm double bed with direct access to both the gardens and a full private bathroom (shower, bath, WC)—ideal for guests prioritizing ground-level access or mobility considerations.

The first floor holds five additional bedrooms across a more compact footprint. The master bedroom commands a king-size bed (180cm), an adjoining sitting room, and a private bathroom with shower and WC. A queen-size bedroom (160cm) comes with its own shower, bath, and WC. The most versatile sleeping arrangement—a duplex bedroom with mezzanine—combines a 140cm double bed with three single beds (90cm), plus a private bathroom with bath and WC, making it the obvious choice for families with multiple children or for creating flexible sleeping configurations. Two further bedrooms each contain 140cm and 160cm double beds respectively, sharing a full bathroom (shower, bath, WC) between them. Every first-floor bedroom frames either street views or garden-facing windows, meaning natural light and fresh air throughout the sleeping quarters.

Beneath the main structure, a 200-square-meter vaulted stone cellar maintains its original character—unrenovated, atmospheric, and housing the villa’s wine collection. This is not a climate-controlled showcase but rather an authentic storage space where the owners’ personally blended vintages age quietly.

Outdoor Spaces and Living

Step outside and the gardens immediately establish their own architectural language. A 4×9-meter swimming pool (1.5-meter depth) operates May through late September and features a safety alarm system—essential detail for households including young children. The orangerie functions as a covered summer dining room, extending the entertaining season well into shoulder months. An Italian garden scattered with stone sculptures creates focal points; a fountain catches light and sound. Wrought iron furniture on a shaded patio provides morning coffee territory or evening aperitif space with sightlines down toward the lower town. A second garden occupies the area at the base of the ramparts, doubling the outdoor territory and providing distinct zones for different moods—active play versus quiet reflection. Charcoal barbecue facilities complete the outdoor kitchen arrangement. A garage with additional refrigeration accommodates one vehicle and practical storage.

Location: Condom and the Surrounding Area

Condom itself—the cathedral town in France’s Gers department, not the subject of English humor—sits at the intersection of gastronomy, medieval architecture, and wine culture. Maison Des Sculptures occupies a location approximately 300 meters from the Cathédrale Saint-Pierre de Condom, a 16th-century Gothic structure that dominates the town’s skyline and serves as the visual anchor for exploration. The Wednesday morning market spreads around this cathedral, where vendors sell seasonal produce (melons, kiwis, garlic), artisanal goat cheeses, foie gras, and magret de canard alongside fresh vegetables and regional products.

Within walking distance, traditional cafés serve Armagnac—the region’s protected designation brandy—alongside casual dining. A small Armagnac museum occupies a nearby building, offering context for the local production heritage. Restaurant options range from casual bistros to fine-dining establishments; locals and visitors eat equally well at either end of the spectrum.

For boat activities, the Petite Baïse river (flowing directly through town) offers summer motorboat rentals and canoe/kayak excursions. Beaucaire, approximately 15 kilometers south, provides additional water sports access. The countryside surrounding Condom—rolling agricultural land punctuated by villages—invites cycling, walking, and horseback riding. The Santiago de Compostela pilgrimage route passes through Larressingle (6km away) and Montréal (15km), both classed as France’s “Plus Beaux Villages” (Most Beautiful Villages). Fourcès, also 13 kilometers distant, similarly deserves the designation. Lectoure and Fleurance—each roughly 30 minutes drive—offer larger market towns with weekly markets and gastronomic heritage. Auch, the historic capital of Gascony, lies 45 kilometers northeast. Summer night markets in surrounding Gascon villages create atmospheric evening outings, while the Marciac Jazz Festival (approximately one hour’s drive) draws music enthusiasts annually.

Hot-air balloon rides operate seasonally from several locations across the Gers. Local “Base de Loisirs” (leisure areas) provide summer swimming spots beyond the private pool. Winery visits and vineyard estates dot the landscape—the region produces excellent dry whites and lighter reds alongside the famous Armagnac.

Toulouse-Blagnac Airport (approximately 90 kilometers, roughly 90 minutes’ drive) serves as the primary air gateway. Transfers can be arranged through the villa’s management company.

Who This Villa Suits Best

Maison Des Sculptures functions optimally for multi-generational family gatherings where sleeping arrangements must accommodate both adults seeking privacy and children requiring flexibility. Three separate bathroom suites on the first floor alone prevent morning bottlenecks. Friend groups numbering eight to fifteen similarly appreciate the space distribution—bedrooms scattered across floors and a ground-floor bedroom offering guests different comfort preferences.

The kitchen and dining arrangements suit households intent on shared meal preparation and long-table dining. The library with children’s beds accommodates families who want flexible sleeping arrangements without requiring a separate nursery room. The pool supports families with children (safety alarm included) but also appeals to adult groups simply wanting afternoon cooling breaks.

Couples and small groups of four to six would find the space unnecessarily expansive; the villa’s pricing reflects its maximum capacity, making it less economical for smaller parties.
