DVF land registry data does not identify manor houses as such: the benchmarks below cover sales of houses over 300 m² of living space on 0.05 to 10 ha, above €1,000/m², tracked by our observatory. They frame the market for large residences without describing it entirely: an estate with 30 ha of parkland or a listed monument sold with its farmland falls outside this scope.

The Gascon manor stands out for its use of foraine brick, a flat pinkish fired-clay brick, combined with stone or rammed earth depending on the area, under shallow-pitched canal-tile roofs. The dovecote, round, square or set on arcades, is the most emblematic feature of the Gers landscape and once signalled the landowner's rank in the local community. Many residences still carry a corner or stair tower, inherited from the medieval castelnau towns built near neighbouring bastides, along with segmental-arched openings typical of Gascon brickwork and fine genoise cornices under the eaves.
Farm outbuildings, barns, drying sheds and dovecotes set apart from the main house, reflect farming long oriented towards mixed crops, Armagnac vines and livestock. A manor to renovate is found mainly in the more remote areas of the Astarac and the Ténarèze, at more approachable prices. Recent restorations keep the brick exposed or lime-rendered, with careful repair of the canal tiles, which are sensitive to temperature swings.
The Astarac, to the south around Mirande and Masseube, keeps a scattered rural settlement on rolling hills suited to livestock farming and mixed crops. The Lomagne, to the north-west towards Fleurance and Lectoure, keeps plain residences amid fertile grain-growing land. The Armagnac, to the west around Éauze and Cazaubon, combines manors and wine-growing gentleman's residences at the heart of the Armagnac vineyard. The Ténarèze, between Condom and Auch, completes this geography with residences often close to the bastide and castelnau towns that have structured the area since the Middle Ages and still shape its identity.
The department has no TGV station; rail access runs through Auch, served by TER with a connection to Toulouse, where Toulouse-Matabiau station is found. Toulouse-Blagnac airport remains within a little over an hour's drive from most parts of the department. The most sought-after areas remain the Ténarèze and the surroundings of Auch; the more rural Astarac offers comparable properties on markedly more accessible terms for a similar size.
A share of the department's manors are registered historic monuments or recorded in the regional heritage inventory, particularly near listed bastide and castelnau towns, which brings exterior works under the approval of the Architecte des Bâtiments de France. The status of adjoining farmland, Armagnac vines or let grain plots, should be clarified before any purchase, as should any planting rights attached to the estate and their separate value.
On the technical side, have the canal tiles and roof timbers checked, and inspect poorly ventilated rooms in brick residences for dry rot, which can spread unseen behind old plaster. Any non-collective drainage system should be checked for compliance, a frequent finding outside the towns, and the legal status of rural access tracks crossing the estate ought to be confirmed at the mairie beforehand.
