From an elevated position within its own private grounds of 24 hectares, this renovated typical Basque farmhouse affords magnificent views of the surrounding countryside and the Pyrenean mountain range On the edge of a small village just 10 minutes from the popular spa town of Salies de Béarn and the medieval town of Sauveterre de Béarn, the property is ideally located for family holidays and offers scope for development into a bed and breakfast / holiday rental business

Previously the site of an old hunting lodge on the edge of the woods, the current dwelling dates back to the 18th century and has undergone extensive modernisation by the current owners The beautiful adjoining stone barn (350m2 over 2 floors) is thought to pre-date the farmhouse and would be ideal for conversion into further guest accommodation

The south-facing farmhouse, approached via a quiet lane, offers a light and spacious living environment Nestled within the large parkland of 24 hectares, which includes many mature fruit trees, a well, a pond and a small parcel of woods, the property enjoys a tranquil location, although not entirely isolated, with the nearest neighbours just a few hundred metres away
