For Sale - Sole Agency
French Character Homes is delighted to be marketing this beautifully presented property, which originates from an early 19C Béarnaise farmhouse. Situated on the edge of its village and amongst the most beautiful undulating countryside; the motivation for restoring such a building is apparent. During the comprehensive restorations in 2002, the property was re-modeled to adapt to modern day life: window openings were enlarged and double glazed; the building was re-roofed, re-plumbed and re-wired; electric shutters and fly screens were installed; a large double garage was added, together with electronic entrance gates and a surveillance camera.
The origins of the farmhouse are still evident with its exposed beamed ceilings and original wine cellar, but the property now has an almost Scandinavian feel with its exposed bare wood beams, wooden internal doors, white paintwork and large windows facilitating natural sunlight throughout the day.
The property stands in 8,556 square meters of mature grounds to include a 5x10m salt-water swimming pool (with an automatic safety shutter) a covered dining terrace and an orchard with cherry, fig, apple, abricot and plum trees.
The property has an idyllic location with views of the rolling hills and Pyrenees mountains. The market towns of Benejacq and Pontacq are just a 5 minutes drive; the riverside town of Nay is 10 minutes away; the pilgrimage town of Lourdes can be reached in 15 minutes and the historic city of Pau in half an hour. Lourdes airport 15 mins; Pau airport 30 mins and Toulouse International Airport 90 minutes.
Possibility to be PURCHASED FURNISHED. Please request further details.
