Property Overview

FCH1015

Under Offer

A little oasis of paradise privately located in an area of natural beauty within the Basque Country! This 19th century former Water Mill and Barn were lovingly restored to create two independent dwellings.  A third dwelling, known as the Summerhouse, was then added to serve as a covered dining area with an additional guest bedroom above.  

The ensemble was acquired by its present owners in 2015.  They immediately instructed the landscaping of the grounds to include new dining terraces, connecting stone paths and the planting of hundreds of new species of plants to offer an array of  interesting colours throughout the year.  

Not only is the setting is idyllic, but the restoration is faultless. Notable features are the gallery kitchen in the water mill which overhangs the river,  and the Louis XIII fireplace in the converted barn.  Both properties have independant heat exchange pumps providing heating and air-conditioning plus more efficient wood burning stoves.  

Viewing is highly recommended!

The Pays Basque region, rich in culture and history, is ideally situated just over one hour from the beaches of the Atlantic Ocean and less than one hour from the ski slopes of the Pyrénées.  The local town of Mauléon-Licharre offers restaurants, cafés, boutiques, butchers, an organic farm shop and two supermarkets. The weekly local farmers' markets are not to be missed, in the Haute Ville and  in the Basse Ville which is overlooked by the Chateau de Mauléon. The thermal spa town of Salies-de-Béarn; the fortified town of Navarrenx and the riverside town of Oloron Ste Marie can all be reached in under 30 minutes. Pau airport is a 50 minute drive away; Biarritz airport just over an hour; Toulouse and Bordeaux airports are two hours drive.
