Description

Located 10 minutes south of Tarbes, this Californian house measures 135 m2 and is composed of a huge living room with an open fireplace, 3 bedrooms (one being a master), a bathroom, two studies and a workshop/garage, all on a tree-filled and fenced in garden of 1700 m2, with a swimming pool.

You’re going to adore this Californian detached house characterized by its large roof overhangs, which gives it a unique style. The many patio doors provide an enormous amount of light, as well as access to the exterior. Its character is traditional with its high ceilings, its mezzanine, its solid wood beams and its exposed Douglas fir roof structure, hewed by a craftsman.

This wooden detached house is a rare piece of work due to a patented and prize-winning process meeting the earthquake-resistant requirements of the Pyrenees. Its designer: the architect Jean-Pierre Lasmolles.

The highlight is the collection of interests outside, with the swimming pool, the pergola, the verandah, the garden and the species of fruit trees.

You enter into the living room (34 m2), which faces south. The hearth of the open fireplace is visible at 360° and will warm you during winter evenings. The living room opens onto and communicates with a big room (29 m2) that is composed of a dining room and a kitchen. The walls on the south and west side have patio doors, allowing lots of light to shine in and having panoramic views of the exterior. The kitchen is equipped and has an adjoining pantry (2 m2).

From the living area you can enter the verandah, which faces north and allows you to enjoy the exterior during all seasons. A staircase leads to the mezzanine (9 m2), which is ideal to use as a study. You’ll be able to work with views of the Pyrenees in front of you.
