Should you wish to rent out the farmhouse as a gîte or offer B&B accommodation to holidaymakers, your visitors will love being close to exciting ski resorts in the Pyrénées, chic beach resorts on the Atlantic coast... but most of all, the property's unique magical setting...

If this charming Basque-Country farmhouse sounds perfect for you, contact me quickly!

...

If your dream is to find a charming hideaway in the Pyrénées where you can welcome friends and family in comfort and style, this delightful farmhouse in the Basque Country will be perfect for you!

Renovated in 2012, many of the property's original architectural features have been retained to create Basque character with contemporary comfort... In addition, photovoltaic solar panels on the roof help to generate electricity for the reversible air-conditioning in this eco-friendly farmhouse.

Set in hillside gardens of 2,052m², the farmhouse has 140m² of habitable space, along with 75m² of unconverted space in an adjoining two-storey workshop. The property also has a south-facing terrace, a summer kitchen with covered dining terrace and glorious panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. Completely private and secluded, the location of the farmhouse is a veritable haven of peace and tranquillity...

From the local village, a winding country lane takes you up to the farmhouse and then continues on to two neighbouring properties (150 metres and 1 km further up the hill). There is space to park in front of the farmhouse or in a courtyard behind the farmhouse; you can also park one car in a small garage that adjoins the workshop or two cars in a double garage, which is accessible from the courtyard behind the farmhouse. A door at the back of the double garage leads out to the side of the farmhouse, where stone steps lead down to a garden shed and the south-facing terrace, which is next to the kitchen.

At the front of the farmhouse, stone steps lead up to the property's front door, which opens into a light and airy sitting room/dining room. The room has exposed stone walls and a double-faced wood-burning insert. Adjoining the sitting room/dining room is a modern kitchen, which also has exposed stone walls, a traditional stone sink and the other face of the wood-burning insert. At the far end of the kitchen is a staircase up to the first floor - and just behind the staircase on the ground floor, there are doors to a walk-in pantry/wine cellar, a family bathroom (bath and shower) and a separate WC.

On the first floor of the farmhouse, a gallery-style landing leads around to a master bedroom with built-in wardrobes and a spacious family shower room with a WC. From the landing, a door gives access to two more bedrooms and an open-plan room, which is currently used as a games room. This area could also be used to create an office, an additional bedroom, an additional shower room, a home cinema, a gym... Please note that some of the first-floor rooms have sloping ceilings.

A door at the far end of the games room opens into the first floor of an adjoining, unconverted two-storey workshop. The ground floor is accessible from the first floor via wooden stairs, or from the sitting room/dining room on the ground floor. Part of the workshop's ground floor is currently used as a utility room. The two-storey workshop is an ideal size for converting into a gîte or B&B rooms - and the adjoining single garage could also be incorporated, if desired (permission required).

The delightful south-facing terrace is accessible from the kitchen - and from the terrace, stone steps lead up to a large summer kitchen, which has a built-in barbecue, a bar and a covered dining area. Beyond the summer kitchen is a vegetable garden area and a potting shed. There is enough flat land for a children's play area, a boules piste and perhaps even a small plunge pool (permission required)!

Located in the Soule region in the Basque Country, this cosy farmhouse is about 20 minutes away from the lively towns of Tardets-Sorholus and Mauléon-Licharre. The local village is a 5-minute drive.

Whatever the season, there are always things to see and do... For mountain lovers, there are walking trails straight from the farmhouse and ski resorts just 45 minutes a little higher up in the Pyrénées... or if you prefer watersports, there are fast-flowing rivers nearby for canoeing, white-water rafting and wild swimming. For a more relaxing day out, head to the picturesque leisure lakes in the Béarn or to the beach resorts on the Atlantic coast, which are perfect for family picnics, swimming, surfing and sunbathing!

The hillside garden has been beautifully terraced with natural stone.

THE POTENTIAL!

This wonderful Basque farmhouse is perfect for a cosy family home, a holiday home, a weekend pied-à-terre...

If you work in the Basque Country or the Béarn, the major towns (St-Palais, Mauléon-Licharre, Tardets-Sorholus, Oloron-Ste-Marie...) are all easily accessible from the property. If you work from home, the workshop's ground floor and/or first floor would be perfect for an office (permission required).

The region is very popular with tourists all year round, so if you are hoping to generate an income from the property, the farmhouse could be rented out as a gîte, especially during the summer months, the skiing season and for Christmas and New Year. Alternatively, the two-storey workshop could be converted into a self-contained gîte or luxurious B&B suites (permission required).

Holidaymakers will adore the property's glorious south-facing terrace and summer kitchen... and the addition of a small plunge pool (permission required) or hot tub, would be an added attraction. You are likely to generate lots of bookings... and your guests will definitely be reluctant to leave your little corner of paradise when their holidays come to an end!
