Situated in the Pyrenees Atlantique department, in the hills of Jurançon, 5 km from the centre of Pau is this luxurious property...
Everything is in harmony and this splendid architect-designed building has much beauty.
In the beginning the property was just a small Bearnaise stone house (dating from 1740), renovated and fully restored in 1995 (new outbuildings added), bringing the total surface area to 400 m² comprising:
- The principal building surrounded by a superb park (cherries, olives, lavender, lemons, flowering bushes...)
- Swimming pool with pool house and apartment
- Two adjoining garages (76 m²) with electric doors
- An enclosure for horses, mature grounds with oak, acacias, chestnuts...
This property truly is a haven of peace built around the swimming pool within magnificent, structured, mature grounds of over 1 hectare with vineyards.
The property is accessed via a driveway that cuts through woodland; the last corner brings the property into view with its ochre coloured façade depicting not only a Mediterranean villa but also the colour scheme of Moroccan architecture.
On the ground floor, the living/dining room (50 m²) has two beautiful, original country fireplaces; this room opens into a magnificently fitted kitchen (40 m²) with eating area followed by a utility room (9 m) then a covered terrace (31 m²) - summer room with no walls - with a roof for sun protection, a games room (44 m²) with a bar and a reading/music room...
