Built in the 1784, this exquisite manor house of 404m2 is in a tranquil, rural setting, not far from Biarritz, Bayonne and chic Atlantic beaches.
The approach to the property is along a 200-metre private drive, secured by electric gates. The drive opens into a courtyard at the front of the property, which has ample space for parking up to seven cars. There is also a pretty garage of 20m2.
From the courtyard, elegant stone steps lead up to the front door of the manor house. The front door opens into a delightful entrance hall and corridor, which extended to the back of the house, where a door opens out to the grounds. Doors along the corridor open into a a sitting room and a small dining on the right - and a large dining room and a kitchen on the left.
Facing east and south, the spacious kitchen has lovely views of the surrounding countryside and to the Pyrénées beyond. From the kitchen, a corridor leads to a utility room and the large dining room. The dining room faces south and west and has a traditional open fireplace with a "Finoptim" insert.
Opposite this room and on the other side of the entrance corridor is a cosy sitting room of 35m2 with a wonderful "Stûv" log-burner. From this room, French doors open out to the west-facing terrace and grounds.

The second floor also has three bedroom suites, each with its own en suite bathroom or shower room. In addition, there is a huge gym (49m2) which could be converted into more living space or used as an office, a home cinema, a games room...

At the back of the house, there is a west-facing terrace, which is perfect for dining alfresco. Adjacent to the terrace is a partially renovated outbuilding (25m2), which, subject to permission, you might want to use as self-contained accommodation for friends and family... A gîte to rent out to holidaymakers... A summer kitchen with a covered dining area...
From the terrace, stepping stones lead to the fabulous heated swimming pool, which catches the sun all day long. For an added touch of luxury, you can look forward to sunbathing by the pool as you listen to some relaxing music courtesy of the property's amazing outdoor sound system!
There are many things to see and do in the local area. From the manor house, a quiet country lane takes you down to the river, where you can walk and cycle along the riverbank...
