Description
...
Dating back to the 19th century, this delightful country property is within walking distance of a village with a boulangerie and a local shop. Set around an inner courtyard, the property comprises a farmhouse (in need of works), a barn, a large gîte (built in 1996) and a separate office/reception area.
The front door of the farmhouse (152m²) opens into a sunny sitting room/dining room with a wooden staircase to the upper floors and an open fireplace with a hot-air heating system. Behind this room is a kitchen with an adjoining utility room/pantry. Please note that kitchen units and equipment will need to be installed.
The first floor comprises a bedroom, a bathroom (bath and walk-in shower) and a separate WC. NB: these first-floor rooms have sloping ceilings. The second floor has two further bedrooms and access to unconverted loft space (approx. 60m²), which could be used to create a loft-style bedroom with en suite shower room (permission required).
Built in 1996, the separate gîte (344m²) was originally built to accommodate groups of children (age 3 and above) and is therefore certified for groups of up to 34 people. In addition, two shower rooms and two WCs are adapted for wheelchair users. All furniture and equipment will be included in the sale.
The ground floor of the gîte has a dormitory-style bedroom, a smaller bedroom, four shower rooms and four WCs. Upstairs, there are three further dormitory-style bedrooms, two large shower rooms and two WCs.
Back on the ground floor, the gîte has a light and airy function room/dining room (80m²) with doors out to the courtyard and grounds - perfect for hosting private events and weddings, workshops and courses... Adjoining the function room is an equipped semi-professional kitchen with storage rooms and cloakroom facilities.
The stone barn (165m²), which is on the far side of the courtyard, has a hayloft and a wine press. Currently used for storage, it could also be used as a stable for horses.
Beyond the courtyard, there is a dining terrace with a built-in barbecue and bread/pizza oven. The terrace overlooks the land, where there is plenty of room for a swimming pool, summer kitchen, boules piste, children's play area...
The local village - which is within easy walking and cycling distance - has a boulangerie, a grocery shop and a primary school. The nearby bastide town of Navarrenx (15 minutes) has a bilingual school (French/English) - and the "International School of Béarn" in Pau is just 30 minutes away. Pyrenean ski resorts are just over an hour away to the south - and the surfing and family beaches on the Atlantic coast are about an hour away to the west.

THE LAND
The property has a total of 17.79 hectares (43.9 acres) of meadowland and woodland, about half of which is on the other side of the lane.
In addition, the property has...
- an inner courtyard with a reception/office next to the entrance
- a dining terrace with a built-in barbecue and pizza/bread oven
- a bergerie (approx. 100m²) on the far side of the land
- some vines (in need of complete restoration)
- access to a stream
THE POTENTIAL!
Located halfway between ski resorts in the Pyrénées and beautiful beaches on the Atlantic coast, this unique rural property with 17 hectares of land has huge potential... whatever your project!
Although the farmhouse will need renovation works, it has already been modernised, has double-glazed windows and a heating system. For anyone who works from home, there is already a separate office next to the entrance gates - and the property is also within easy commuting distance of Mourenx, Orthez and Pau. If you are a family with children, there are many excellent schools in the area, including The International School of Béarn in Pau (35 minutes).
The land and outbuildings should be ideal for an agricultural or horticultural project. If you have horses or other animals, the barn and the bergerie could be used as a stable - and the land, which is a mixture of meadows and woodland, should be perfect for grazing. There is also more than enough room for creating a paddock.
Built in 1996, the property's large gîte can accommodate guests almost immediately, although you might want to modernise the showers and refresh the décor before you open for business. All the furniture and equipment will be included in the sale.
Previously used as gîte for accommodating groups of children (age 3 and above), the building is certified for groups of up to 34 people. In addition, two of the six shower rooms and two of the six WCs are adapted for wheelchair users. You could, therefore, re-establish the gîte as a holiday venue for groups of children...
... or you could welcome large groups of adults and children for sporting and activity holidays, such as yoga and wellness retreats, cycling, horse-riding and golfing tours, courses in photography, music, cooking, Jurançon wine-tasting, or workshops in art, craft, writing...
The function room and the semi-professional kitchen also make the property ideal for hosting private weddings and events if guests are staying at the property - and there is also more than enough room in the grounds to erect marquees and pergolas for celebrating fairytale weddings and celebrations outside in the summer sunshine!
With some modifications to the interior layout, the gîte could also be used for corporate conferences and seminars, especially if you are able to offer corporate clients excellent accommodation. The building might also be suitable for the creation of a boutique hotel or Bed & Breakfast suites.
If the kitchen is upgraded, it might be possible to use the gîte's function room as a tearoom, a country pub or a restaurant - and diners will be delighted to stay overnight or for a weekend break in your luxurious bedroom suites!
The installation of a swimming pool in the grounds should also increase demand!
NB: please note that planning permission would be required for the installation of a swimming pool + for any conversion/change of use of buildings for residential and/or professional purposes
