Although the origins of this charming country house date back to the 18th century, the building was reconstructed in 2001 - and the property now has a unique blend of traditional and contemporary architectural features.
At the front of the house is a gravel courtyard for outdoor parking, along with a garage and a carport. To the right of the garage is a gate to a fabulous swimming pool and a covered terrace; which is equipped with a summer kitchen.
The front door of the house opens into an entrance hall with a cloakroom/WC and a staircase to the first floor. Opposite the front door is a spacious kitchen with an adjoining utility room, a walk-in pantry and access to a covered terrace.
To the left of the kitchen is a splendid open-plan main room with a wood-burning stove, a sitting area, a dining area and an office area. Floor-to-ceiling picture windows open out to a west-facing terrace. Beyond the main room is a master bedroom with an en suite bathroom and separate WC.
Also on the ground floor and to the right of he kitchen is a self-contained 4-person gîte, which has a private west-facing terrace. This gîte could be enlarged in the future, if desired.
Upstairs, there is a sunny sitting area, an office/study and three B&B bedrooms. Each B&B room has its own shower, but they share a WC.
The second gîte and the wellness & spa suite have their own private entrance, which is accessible from an exterior walkway on the property's first floor. The gîte has two bedrooms and a super south-west-facing roof terrace; the wellness and spa suite comprises a treatment room, a sauna, a walk-in shower and a separate WC.
Outside, the beautifully maintained grounds of 31,729m2 extend beyond the house to the south and west, with plenty of grazing land for horses... And the panoramic views of Pyrénées beyond are simply stunning!
This gorgeous country house is located in the beautiful Béarn, between the mountains and the sea. The property is hugely convenient for people working in and around Lourdes (15 - 20 minutes), Pau and Tarbes (both 30 - 35 minutes) - and Tarbes-Lourdes-Pyrénées airport is just 20 minutes away. The closest tgv station is 10 minutes away.
If you love skiing, surfing and water sports, there are ski resorts in the Pyrénées just 45 - 60 minutes away - and Atlantic beaches 90 minutes to the west. Closer to home, there are rivers for white-water rafting and canoeing, or you can visit several leisure lakes with swimming and beaches, as well as exciting water sports!

The potential!
This wonderful property has living space of 318m2 (house + 2 gîtes), making it ideal for a spacious family home or a luxurious holiday home... And with seven bedrooms to choose from, you will have plenty of room to accommodate your friends and family when they come to visit you!
The property is perfectly located for anyone who works in Lourdes, Tarbes or Pau, with Safran Helicopter Engines 20 minutes away and TotalEnergies HQ 30 minutes away. If you work from home or need an office/consulting room for your business, you might like to create office space in one of the gîtes or in the wellness suite, which would allow you to have a private entrance.
Should you wish to continue to offer gîte and B&B accommodation to holidaymakers, you can open up for business straight away, since much of the furniture in the gîtes and B&B bedrooms will be included in the sale. If, in the future, you would like to enlarge either of the gîtes or create one or two extra B&B bedrooms, there is unconverted space on both the ground floor (30m2) and the first floor (32.5m2).
Tourists visit this wonderful area all year round, especially Lourdes, Pau and the Pyrénées, with visitors hoping to find cosy gîte and B&B accommodation where they can relax and unwind. In addition, you have your very own wellness and spa suite on site, which will delight your visitors throughout their stay!
Should you wish to accommodate larger groups, you can rent out both gîtes and all three B&B bedrooms to groups of up to 15 people. You might like to host activities and workshops for your clients, such as yoga retreats, cycling and walking tours, visits to cheesemakers and vineyards, cultural masterclasses, corporate team-building breaks... And when the weather’s perfect, the activities and workshops can take place outside in the beautiful grounds!
The property is close to the Chemin-de-St-Jacques-de-Compostelle pilgrim route (8km) and is on both the pan-European "Route d'Artagnan" bridleway and the GR782 hiking trail - so you are likely to have year-round demand for accommodation from walkers, pilgrims and horse-riders, along with their horses, who can stay in your very own stables! As well as offering delicious breakfasts, you could serve hearty suppers that your clients can enjoy as the sun sets over the Pyrénées...

The local area
This charming country house is located about 5 minutes from two large villages which have boulangeries, shops, bars, restaurants, medical services and pharmacies. You can also buy delicious fresh produce year-round at the local farmers' markets in Pontacq and Nay. For a wider range of shops and services, the towns of Lourdes (15 minutes), Pau and Tarbes (35 minutes) are easily accessible from the property.
There are schools for younger children in the village - and both Nay and Pau have excellent collège-lycées, which offer a range of study options (some in English), as well as the chance to specialise in theatre, dance, sports... And even horse-riding! In addition, The International School of Béarn in Pau, which follows the English national curriculum, is just 25 minutes away and awards UK qualifications.
The Pyrénées National Park is to the south of the property and extends 100km through the mountains that border France and Spain. There are many amazing hiking, cycling and horse-riding trails to follow, as well as lakes, waterfalls and the famous Cirque de Gavarnie to discover!
