Description

This exceptional property, formerly a hunting lodge of Gaston Fébus (1331-1391), was later, according to legend, the home of Jeanne d'Albret (1528-1572) and her son, the future Henry IV.

Over the years, the property was acquired by prominent French families (Maurice Escande, Cécile Sorel, etc.) who wished to live away from the limelight.

A true haven of peace, this estate offers a unique living environment.

The main house comprises 295 square meters of living space.

It is built of river stones with an original architectural style, consisting of a main building and a tower. A small house at the entrance to the property, a barn, several outbuildings, and a swimming pool complete the ensemble.

The house is spread over three levels. It includes an entrance, a living room, a dining room, a kitchen and a dining area, an office, 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a shower room, a dressing room and two rooms to be converted, accessible by an independent staircase located between the house and the barn.

The recently restored tower is approximately 87 square meters. The windows are still single-glazed.

The grounds are wooded and pleasant. They consist of landscaped gardens, meadows, woods, and a pond. All of this is situated on approximately 43 000 square meters of adjoining land.

Located between the Atlantic coast and the Pyrenees, the property is also in easy reach to airports, motorways and TGV train stations.

The department of Pyrenees-Atlantiques is situated in the Aquitaine region of South-West France, it is called Pyrenees-Atlantiques due to its geographical location being bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the west and the Pyrenees mountains to the South. Given the proximity with Spain, this department has always conserved special economical and cultural links with the neighbouring country.

Pyrenees-Atlantiques included the former provinces of Bearn, Gascony and Guyenne. The southern part of the department forms the homeland for the French Basque community. The Basques have a long tradition in this part of France and this presence is very evident in the local Basque language, history and local culture.

Thanks to quality accommodation and cheap flights to the Pyrenees airports of Pau & Biarritz, the Pyrenees-Atlantiques is increasingly appealing to holidaymakers, nature lovers and property purchasers from France and abroad.
