A Magnificent 17C Béarnaise Ensemble with Panoramic Views

Description

Location, location, location! This exceptional Béarnaise character home sits in a superb elevated position with panoramic views across undulating countryside and the chain of the Pyrenees mountains.

In the hamlet of its picturesque hilltop village, this enchanting 17C stone farm ensemble with an enclosed interior courtyard, has recently undergone a professional and sympathetic renovation including a damp proofing course, double glazing and insect screens on all windows, a roof revision, upgraded plumbing and electrics and a new, compliant septic tank. The property now serves as a luxurious and comfortable family home, whilst retaining its period authenticity and original features.

The ensemble is approached through wrought iron gates into mature gardens, with a circular entrance drive. Living accommodation is provided over two floors including a large sitting room with a welcoming stone hearth, a high quality fitted kitchen, utility and guest WC facilities, created in a seamless and sympathetic new extension, a separate dining room, leading to an outdoor dining terrace and three private bedrooms suites - each with their own bath or shower room. The sumptuous master suite occupies 60m2 alone, incorporating a spacious bedroom, a walk-through dressing room, private WC and full bathroom with underfloor heating, a walk-in shower and a roll-top bath, positioned to enjoy the Pyrenees view!

Outside, the enclosed inner courtyard has been beautifully landscaped to include a kitchen herb and vegetable garden. The outbuildings include an attractive open-sided loggia with cobblestone patterned flooring, a boiler room / workshop with a small office above and a large barn with new secure solid oak doors, electrics and a concrete floor.

This splendid property is situated close to many popular tourist towns of the beautiful Bearn region. The ski slopes of the Pyrenees and the Atlantic coast around Biarritz can be reached in around one hour.
