A Beautifully Converted Stone Bergerie with Swimming Pool and Mountain Views

Property Description

Situated in a pretty village just 10 minutes from the medieval hilltop town of Sauveterre de Bearn and 15 minutes from the historical market towns of Navarrenx, Saint Palais and Mauleon, this converted stone bergerie enjoys a peaceful location in mature, landscaped gardens with an in-ground swimming pool and views across to the Pyrenees mountains.

This beautiful family home is immaculately presented throughout, offering generous living space on the ground floor and four bedrooms on the upper floor; the master bedroom with its own private bathroom suite. The upper floor configuration allows for the possibility to separate the living quarters, in order to provide an independant guest annex or gite with two bedrooms.

Accommodation on the ground floor is centred around an elegant sitting room, adorned by a first floor galleried mezzanine, open to the exposed ceiling beams. A large, fully equipped 40m2 dining kitchen with with feature fireplace and patio doors accessing the south east facing covered dining terrace provides a wonderful room for the family and for entertaining guests. A preparation kitchen and utility room and WC leads from the main kitchen, also giving access to the gardens to the rear of the bergerie with raised herb beds. A formal dining room, shower room with WC, and a cloakroom extend from the other side of the sitting room.

The first floor accommodation provides four bedrooms and two bathrooms, plus a generous office space on the mezzanine. A separate entrance staircase to the north elevation of the bergerie allows the possiblity to divide the upper floor accommodation to offer a two bedroom independent appartment with its own sitting room, kitchenette and picturesque balcony. The village itself is located on the walkers route to Santiago, ‘le Chemin de St. Jacques de Compostelle’, providing the opportunity to compliment summer holiday rental income with a steady stream of B&B business from walkers outside of the summer season.

Outside, the pretty gardens of a little over a quarter acre have been beautifully landscaped with mature planting and views extending across the countryside to the Pyrenees mountains. With its gated entrance, the property is entirely private with an in-ground swimming pool, ideal for a full time residence or a holiday home in this desirable location. The property also offers a 30m2 garage and off street parking for several vehicles.
