19th Century Bearnaise Farmhouse Set in 2.7 Hectares of Land

Property Description

Enjoying an elevated position, in the hamlet of its village, with beautiful views across the countryside and the distant Pyrenees mountains, this well-maintained farmhouse with attached barn offers huge potential for development.

The 19th century property has been a working farm until recent years, but still retains 2.7 hectares (almost 7 acres) of private land in a peaceful environment. The main farmhouse consists of two reception rooms on the ground floor, a dining room with a large fireplace and a basic kitchen and bathroom. The upper floor provides four good size bedrooms with original parquet flooring and access to the attic, which could be converted into more rooms. The beautiful attached stone barn offers 380m2 over two floors, currently used for storing agricultural materials, but could be transformed into a wonderful externsion of the farmhouse.

The roof tiles of both the house and barn were renewed approximately 15 years ago, at the same time the facades of the farmhouse were renewed. Overall, the property appears to be in good structural condition, just requiring modernisation and / or further development of the interior. Electricity and plumbing would also require upgrading, as well as the septic tank.

The attraction of this farm ensemble is its beautiful location and scope for development into a spacious country home, or a magnificent main residence in the barn, using the attached farmhouse as a guest annex, or gîte. Sitting in the hills above its pretty village, just 10 minutes from the 14 century fortified town of Navarrenx and the medieval town of Sauveterre de Bearn, with views across to the Pyrenees, this property is ideally located in this popular region of Aquitaine.
