Property Description
A fascinating chateau dating back to the early 17C ; the existing buildings, the Gate, the Watch Tower, and its Stone Ramparts testify to the ostentation of its original construction. Superb far reaching views extend from the remains of its stone ramparts which surround the chateau’s park. The Chateau is approached via a private tree lined avenue from the village. Its original Stone Arched Entrance leads into the front gardens, which are surrounded by the Chateau’s original stone ramparts. Stone steps rise to the main entrance with its period double entrance doors set under a balcony.
The property contains a wealth of original features including its fireplaces with plaster mouldings; its period doors and windows; and its terracotta tiles and wide board oak flooring. The chateau has retained its period atmosphere and although 'habitable', it needs professional restoration to bring it back to its former glory.
The total land measures 2.3 hectares. The immediate south facing garden is currently laid to lawn with centenarian trees principally oak and cedar. The estate also includes a small vineyard, an orchard with over 100 fruit trees, a vegetable garden just behind the village church and a large grazing field.
Situated one hour from the ski slopes of the Pyrénées and one hour from the Atlantic Coast, around Biarritz. Just 25 minutes north west of Pau, 5 minutes from Garlin and 15 minutes from Lembeye. Pau airport 25 minutes; Tarbes / Lourdes 40 minutes; Toulouse airport 2 hours.
