The main house comprises 295m2 of living space. It is built of river stones with an original architectural style, consisting of a main building and a tower.
A small house at the entrance to the property, a barn, several outbuildings, and a swimming pool complete the ensemble.

The main house is spread over three levels. It comprises an entrance hall, a living room, a dining room, a kitchen, an office, four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a shower room, and a dressing room.
There is a recently restored tower of approximately 87m2.
The windows are still single-glazed.

The lovely estate grounds feature landscaped gardens, meadows, woodland, and a pond.

Located between the Atlantic coast and the Pyrenees, the property is also in easy reach to airports, motorways and TGV train stations.
