Description

Located 10 mins from Pau city centre is this 12-hectare estate comprising a 750m2 chateau, outbuildings of 500m2 and 230m2, a 50m2 caretaker’s cottage and a swimming pool. Set in a quiet location with a breathtaking view of the Pyrenees, it is perfect for those seeking a country estate without being far from the city.

A 600m private track from the main road leads across woods and pastures to this chateau nestled in the greenery.

Three hectares of the land, once authorisation granted, may be replanted with grapevines and eventually classed as ‘Appellation Controlee’, the highest grade accorded, to the area’s renowned Jurancon white wine.

The property was constructed between the 16th and 17th centuries and is characterised by its refined architecture with a tower, a remarkable crested roof, beautiful facade and exceptional panorama.

You will be at 350m altitude.

The ground floor has an entrance hall with a staircase serving the upper floors. You will appreciate the spacious living and dining room with fireplace, reception room, east-wing staircase, toilet, kitchen, study and toilet.
