Perched high on its hillside with breathtaking views across the Pyrenees mountain range, this beautifully presented, spacious family home is conveniently situated just a short drive from the popular medieval tourist town of Sauveterre de Bearn.
The priveleged position becomes evident upon entering the property gates, via a tree-lined, gravel drive, leading to the picturesque Bearnaise villa with its majestic views and private grounds of around 7 acres including woodlands below. Constructed in 1968, the architectural style sympathetically reflects the local period bearnaise properties, employing materials such as terracotta tile floors, exposed ceiling beams and a feature fireplace, river-stone wall and carved staircase gracing the generous central reception room. French doors are featured in all of the ground floor living rooms, allowing an abundance of light to flood through the property and, most importantly, giving direct access to the south facing terrace and in-ground swimming pool with mountain views.
The ground floor comprises of an ample entrance hall with double front doors, leading to a ground floor cloakroom with W/C, a large reception room, with wood-burning stove, a fully fitted kitchen, with a separate utility area, two double bedrooms with private en-suite barthroom facilities and the garage, currently used for storage and for housing the central heating boiler. The upper floor provides a second, mezzanine reception room, with integrated wood carved bookcases, three further bedrooms; one of which includes an en-suite shower room, and a family bathroom.
The medieval hilltop town of Sauveterre de Bearn, overlooking the Oloron River, hosts many cultural festivals throughout the year and has a friendly, convivial atmosphere, with a weekly market selling local produce, bars, cafes and restaurants.
