Property Description
Beautifully renovated and full of character, this charming village house is arranged over three floors and enjoys a peaceful setting in one of the most picturesque valleys of the French Pyrenees.
The entrance hall leads to a cosy sitting room, a large utility room and an impressive staircase that forms the heart of the home. The first floor accommodates the first of four bedrooms, along with a bright living room featuring an attractive stone fireplace and a charming gallery overlooking the staircase. From here, there are lovely views across the village and surrounding mountains.
The fully equipped kitchen opens onto a welcoming dining room, which in turn provides direct access to the landscaped gardens and two attractive terraces, perfect for outdoor dining and relaxation.
An elegant spiral staircase leads to the second floor, where three further bedrooms are located. One bedroom enjoys direct access to a spacious terrace, while all rooms benefit from views of either the village or the mountains. This floor also includes a family bathroom with a bathtub and a separate WC.
Outside, the private gardens and terraces have been thoughtfully planted and create a peaceful outdoor living space. The uninterrupted mountain views provide a wonderful backdrop throughout the year.
An adjoining barn of approximately 50 m² is currently used as a garage and wood store, and there is an additional parking space directly in front of the barn.
The property is situated in a historic village just 25 minutes south of Oloron-Sainte-Marie, with its train station, shops and services. An important stop on the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage route, the village has a rich religious heritage and continues to welcome pilgrims travelling along the Via Tolosana. Local amenities include a restaurant, butcher and bread depot, while further services can be found within a 10-minute drive.
The surrounding valley offers an exceptional range of outdoor activities, including hiking on the GR10 and the Camino routes, canyoning, white-water sports, paragliding and several ski resorts during the winter months.
The Spanish border is approximately 30 minutes away, while the airports of Pau, Tarbes-Lourdes and Biarritz can all be reached within 1 hour 30 minutes. The Atlantic coast, including the beaches of Capbreton and Biarritz, is around two hours from the property.
Combining character, comfort and an outstanding natural setting, this is a wonderful opportunity as a permanent residence, holiday home or tourism-related project in the French Pyrenees.
