French Ski Property

Property Description

This 19c Maison de Maitre beautifully epitomizes local architecture, with its symmetrical facade and its former barn creating an L shape The property is conveniently situated within walking distance of its 14th century fortified town and yet has an unusually large private garden of 5,600m2 bordering a small river The property is located just 35 minutes from the beautiful historic city of Pau and one hour from the Atlantic coast around Biarritz and one hour from the ski slopes Pau airport 40 minutes; Biarritz airport 50 minutes; St Sebastian airport 90 minutes

The estate includes the Maison de Maitre (350m2);

A 4 bedroom independent house (115m2), whichwas its former barn; a large out-building (200m2); and 5,600m2 of land which includes 3 building plots TheMaison de Maitre and the former barn are currently independent of each other The former barn has been converted into an independent 4 bedrooms house, which is currently rented, but would become vacant on completion

The large out-building (200m2), could be converted into a stunning indoor swimming pool with sliding doors over-looking the gardens; it would equally work well as a guest cottage for purchasers looking to develop a bed and breakfast / holiday rental business

The area is a perfect tourist destination; the local 14th century town has a good choice of restaurants and shops, as well as its art galleries and brocantes Nearby activities include golf, white water rafting, surfing, skiing, canoeing, hang-gliding, riding and kayaking Weekly markets are held in Naverrenx, Sauveterre de Bearn, St Palais, Oloron and Peyrehorade The local town of Salies de Bearn has a therapeutic spa as well as a 12 hole golf course There are also plenty of annual festivals in the surrounding towns
