Property Description

Situated at an altitude of 250m within the Madiran wine region, this three bedroom villa, with its wooden guest cabin, presents a wonderful turn-key solution holiday home, or permanent residence with the convenience of being just 40 minutes north of the historic city of Pau, its airport and its international school.

Built to an attractive, contemporary design in 2007, the property boasts underfloor heating, double glazing, recently wired electrics and plumbing.

The property is accessed via a quiet country lane, through private gates opening into a large gravelled courtyard with ample space for several cars. On a clear day, the Pyrenees mountain range dominates the horizon!
Once inside, light floods the house from the large expanse of glazing running through all the rooms. The layout is thoughtful and effective, with a large dining kitchen leading onto a delightful wisteria ladened terrace; a superb sitting room with cathedral-height ceiling and wood-burning stove; three double bedrooms each with French doors leading onto the south-west facing terrace; a beautifully appointed bathroom; a shower room; a utility room and a garage with a covered area currently used to store the firewood. A charming wooden chalet serving as a fourth bedroom and a 8x5m pool with a generous terrace, completes this beautiful property which sits in 6,800m2 of grounds laid to garden, woodland and vines.

This property would appeal to someone looking for a rural property with great views, with easy access onto the A65 connecting Pau to Bordeaux. Heading east of the property are the pretty market towns of Lembeye and Maubourguet.
Pau is the capital city of the Pyrenees Atlantic and has an excellent choice of schools as well as offering leisure & sporting facilities such as rugby, basketball, handball, kayaking.
