An Historic 18c Chartreuse; the original residence to a 50 hectares vineyard owned by Seigneur d’Arricau The Chartreuse would serve perfectly as a ‘Chambres d’Hotes’ or B&B business (or as a large family residence), due to its internal layout and its proximity to the famous Jazz festival town of Marciac

Situated 25 minutes north east of Pau; 10 minutes from Marciac; 20 minutes from Tarbes Pau airport 45 minutes; Tarbes / Lourdes 35 minutes; Toulouse airport 2 hours

The Estate includes, the Chartreuse with its two bedroom apartment; a large independent two bedroom gite; 2 additional barns, both of which could be converted into gites; and a 12x5m swimming pool set within a hectare of landscaped gardens The Chartreuse with its elegant yet formal facade has been sympathetically restored by its present owners

The Chartreuse is situated in a popular market town, set back from the road and well screened by its high stone walls and wrought iron entrance gates The local town has all the necessary amenities, including a medical centre, pharmacy, banks and a couple of good restaurants / bars There are also weekly markets and annual festivals in the local towns

The local area attracts many tourists in August due to the Jazz festival town of Marciac Other local activities include golf, horse-riding and bull fighting In addition, within one or two hours drive away, there is skiing, rafting and canoeing in the Pyrénées and surfing along the Atlantic coast
