This elegant and impeccably presented 18th-century country residence sits just 25 minutes from the Basque coast, offering approximately 400 m² of refined living space set within 4,200 m² of exquisitely landscaped grounds, with views of the Pyrenees mountains and the rolling Basque countryside towards the River Adour, flowing westwards to Bayonne. The property underwent comprehensive renovations between 2020 and 2023, including the installation of a new heating system with replacement copper pipework, powered by two energy-efficient heat pumps serving the ground and first floors, together with new reversible air conditioning units on the second floor; new hot water tanks; the creation of six en-suite bathrooms; insulation to all ceilings, floors and walls; and the installation of solar panels on the dépendance roof — all of which have contributed to its exceptional A energy rating. In addition, the present owners have installed a compliant new sanitation system, a water softener, and a 20,000L rainwater recuperation tank connected to a pump supplying the toilet flushing system; laid new travertine flooring throughout the ground floor; repainted the interior; added block paving to the inner driveway and parking area; and installed a heated 11 x 3m saltwater swimming pool with a reinforced liner. The property today offers an exceptional turnkey solution and includes the principal furniture from the five guest bedrooms. The entrance is marked by large wrought iron gates opening onto a long driveway, arriving at a neatly arranged block-paved parking area leading to the south side of the property, the 28 m² dépendance, boules terrain, and sympathetically landscaped gardens with a saltwater pool overlooking the rolling Basque countryside. To the right of the entrance sits a garage and a stone dining terrace shaded by overhanging plane trees. Set in a peaceful yet far from isolated position, the property enjoys easy access to the River Adour and its cycle path linking westwards to Bayonne and eastwards towards Pau, as well as proximity to nearby lakes and authentic Basque villages. The lifestyle here achieves a rare balance between tranquillity, space and accessibility. While offering a genuine sense of countryside, the property remains exceptionally well connected to the Atlantic coast, the Pyrenean ski resorts and beyond, with high-speed rail links to Paris from Bayonne and convenient international access via Biarritz airport.
