This 17th century Manoir has been professionally refurbished and is beautifully presented. It dominates its hillside, with far reaching views across the unspoilt open countryside and down to its private carp lake.
The estate includes the Manoir with its adjoining former barn; the pool house with its covered summer dining terrace; a swimming pool; the stable block with 3 boxes, a private lake and 19 ½ hectares of land.
Situated in the beautiful undulating countryside of the Madiran vineyards, just 15 minutes from a popular market town and 25 minutes from the beautiful historical city of Pau. One hour from the ski slopes of the Pyrénées and one hour from the Atlantic Coast, around Biarritz. Pau airport 20 minutes; Tarbes / Lourdes airport 25 mins; Toulouse airport 2 hours.

The Manoir has retained its period atmosphere, as well as having a lovely ‘homely’ feel. This period atmosphere is created with the wealth of its original features; its oak carved internal doors, its mixture of stone, wood and marble fireplaces, its exposed beamed ceilings, its 250 year old terracotta dining room floor and its magnificent oak staircase which rises to a galleried landing.
The room layout is appealing with the reception rooms and three of the bedrooms all facing east and benefiting from the magnificent views and plenty of natural daylight.

THE GROUNDS
The grounds have been beautifully landscaped around the estate to provide an array of colour throughout the year. The salt-water swimming pool, with its natural stone surround is situated to the south side of the property; it measures 12x6m and benefits from a new liner, which was fitted in 2008. The pool equipment is housed in the small stone barn, as is a solar panelled heating system, which needs a little maintenance to operate fully. There is a covered dining terrace (68m2), next to the swimming pool, perfect for hot summer days. The original bread oven and evier (stone sink) are located here.

THE STABLE BLOCK
The Stable Block is located to the north-east of the property. There are 3 boxes (14.8, 15.5 & 25.9m2), as well as a garage / hay store (19.8m2) and a hen house (4.9m2). Next to the Stable Block is a large fenced pasture.

This is an immaculate classic Manoir. To find such a beautiful property, in a perfect location is very rare. We are delighted to be marketing it.
