A Beautifully Presented Béarnaise Home with Breathtaking Views and 6.5 Hectares

Description

A 17th Century Béarnaise Farmhouse and adjoining barn which have been subject to a professional refurbishment to provide a spacious and beautifully appointed 6 bedroom family home. This exceptional property benefits from an elevated situation with panoramic views across it’s village and the Pyrénées mountains to the front and rolling countryside from the 6.5 Hectare private gardens and luxury 14 X 6M covered swimming pool.

Every detail of the restoration has been carefully attended to; from the immaculately re-pointed stone facade, to the quality fixtures and furnishings inside. The ground floor provides a large entrance hall leading to a study / salon, utility room, WC, the fitted kitchen and a 70m2 grand salon, both with patio doors accessing the covered dining terrace and gardens. The first and second floors provide a Master bedroom suite and 5 further bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.

Situated one hour from the ski stations of the Pyrenees, the cosmopolitan coastal resorts around Biarritz and also the Spanish border, the area is a popular tourist destination. The local 14th century fortified town of Navarrenx and Mauleon – famous for its espadrills – offer a good choice of restaurants, shops and supermarkets and can be reached in just 10 minutes. Nearby activities include Golf (5 minutes), salmon fishing, white water rafting, kayaking, skiing and surfing. Weekly markets are held in all the local towns and there are also plenty of annual festivals to enjoy throughout the summer months.
