Breathtaking Views, Close to a Vibrant Market Town

Description

A charming 19th Century Basque farmhouse ensemble, situated in an elevated position with stunning views to the south of the Pyrenees mountains and foothills and, to the west, the bustling market town of Saint Palais.

Tastefully renovated, retaining many original features, the property offers 3 bedrooms on the first floor, plus an additional guest bedroom and office in the attic space. A newly fitted kitchen opens onto the covered dining terrace and gardens beyond of just under a half acre – plenty of room to install a swimming pool. The attached barn serves as a garage and storage, but could be converted to extend the living accommodation or an independent gîte.

The property is situated on the edge of its village, overlooking the lively market town of Saint Palais where you will find a good choice of restaurants and cafés, a cinema, public swimming pool, boutiques, brocantes and supermarkets. The popular weekly market is held on Friday mornings where you can buy anything from fashion clothing to livestock ! The area is ideal for activity holidays, situated along the Pilgrims’ walk to Santiago (Chemin de St Jacques) and also offers white water rafting, kayaking, canoeing, horse riding and moto-cross. The coast at Biarritz and the Spanish border at St Jean Pied de Port can be reached in 45 minutes.
