Built in 2000, this super hillside villa of 105m2 is set in a quiet mountain village in the Pyrénées, yet is just minutes away from the lively town of Laruns, which has shops, restaurants, bars, schools and many clubs, activities and amenities to suit all ages.
The property is located at the end of a lane, not far from the centre of the village. From the lane, gates open into a private driveway, which slopes down gently to a private parking area in front of the villa. To the left is a small outbuilding, which has a log store and lockable storage.
The villa's front door opens into a small entrance hall area, which leads into a spacious open-plan sitting room/dining room of about 35m2. French doors open out to a west-facing terrace and to the garden beyond. Adjoining the sitting room/dining room is a kitchen with a pantry/storage room.
Also on the ground floor is a master bedroom of about 15m2 with a small dressing room, and French doors out to a south-facing terrace. The bedroom is next to a recently renovated shower room.
From the sitting room/dining room, stairs lead up to the first floor, which has a large bedroom of about 16m2 (floor area) and a smaller bedroom of about 9.5m2 (floor area). Nb: Please note that both first-floor bedrooms have sloping ceilings.
The villa is set in a hillside garden of 1,700m2. Planted with mature trees and shrubs, which should be easy to maintain, the garden is a veritable haven for all the family! There is a small summer kitchen for outdoor dining - and you have enough flat land for a swimming pool (permission required), a children's play area, a boules piste...
The villa's terraces face south and west and are the perfect spot for sunny breakfasts, long, lazy lunches and delicious suppers under the stars, as you enjoy the simply magnificent views of the Pyrénées!
The villa is a short cycle/walk away from the town of Laruns, where you will find a supermarket, boulangeries, bars, restaurants primary schools and a secondary school (collège), where you can learn the language of Béarnais whistling! In addition, the town has a swimming pool, an Escape Game, an adventure park, numerous sporting activities...
For mountain lovers, there are several ski resorts 15 - 30 minutes away in the Pyrénées. If you prefer watersports, there are numerous lakes and rivers to explore, along with beach resorts on the Atlantic coast, which are perfect for surfing and family days out.

If you are looking for an investment property, the villa could be rented out either on a long-term basis, or as a gîte to holidaymakers for short-term stays during the summer months, the skiing season and at Christmas and New Year. Your guests will love the location, the views and the villa's stylish fixtures, fittings and décor.
There is year-round demand for top-quality holiday accommodation in the Vallée d'Ossau, especially if it's in peaceful, tranquil surroundings with stunning mountain views!
You might also consider offering B&B accommodation to walkers and cyclists exploring the area. Along with providing accommodation and a delicious breakfast, evening meals would undoubtedly be popular, as would picnic lunch hampers full of local Béarnaise delicacies, including the famous Ossau-Iraty Brebis cheese!

This lovely villa is located in a mountain village in the very popular Vallée d'Ossau in the Béarn.

The Vallée d’Ossau extends up to the Spanish border, where you can ski at the Formigal ski resort (45 minutes), or much closer to home at Eaux-Bonnes/Gourette, which is just 15 minutes away. A little further on, the Artouste ski resort has a small open-sided train, which takes you high up into the mountains during the summer months.
For walkers, there are many nearby mountain trails directly accessible from the villa.
