luxury real estate for sale Artix, France

Within a short drive from the market town of Orthez, this beautiful medieval château is a hidden gem located in the heart of the beautiful French countryside. The historic 12th century building was the property of the Peyré (altered to Peyrer by Jean-Armand du Peyrer) family during the period of the musketeers, and the family's coat of arms is in evidence throughout. The historic mullioned windows are also characteristic of Henri de Navarre's, later Henry IV, château in Pau. Indeed all the original features including the oak panelling, large stone fireplaces have been lovingly maintained by the present owners. The château provides an entrance hall, three large reception rooms, a dining room, a kitchen, ten bedrooms (two with en suite bathrooms), a dressing room, an independent bathroom, an independent shower room (to be completed), two independent WCs, a utility room, a conservatory, a wine cellar and an overground pool. The property includes six separate outbuildings including two gites (of which one is the former gatehouse and offers an overground pool), a barn, a fortified farm and an orangerie. The château is located under one hour from the Atlantic ocean and the coastal resort of Biarritz and approximately 90 minutes from the nearest ski stations in the Pyrenees mountain range. Airports, TGV train stations as well as motorway access are between 20 and 45 minutes from the property.

64370 - MORLANNE - ESTATE - MANSION & COTTAGE - 380 m² - 12 ROOMS - 7 BEDROOMS - OUTBUILDINGS/BARNS 270 m² - GARDEN-ORCHARD-MEAREA-WOODS AND STREAM ON 10 HA - ABSOLUTE QUIET Efficity, the agency that estimates your property online, and Guénaëlle Guégan offer you this beautiful property on an exceptional site, facing south, on the hillside and overlooking the hilly landscapes of Béarn, on the borders of Chalosse. Built on vast, single-unit land of nearly 10 hectares, made up of meadows, undergrowth and forest, it is as you progress along its access path which runs along the stream, that we discover this beautiful mansion built at the end of the 18th/early 19th century and that we fall under the spell of this peaceful and welcoming place. This house of approximately 320 m² of living space is made up, on the ground floor, of an entrance hall leading to the large 65m² living room with fireplace, the kitchen opening onto a large south-facing terrace and communicating with a bedroom. 25m² which can be used as a dining room, office or other; a bathroom and a separate toilet complete this first level, from which you can go down into the cellar. On the first floor, there are four bedrooms; including one with its private bathroom, a bathroom and a separate toilet. On the second floor, and last level, two large bedrooms in the attic offer sleeping areas or office spaces, games or other areas and an accessible attic of 50 m² which can be converted allows many additional possibilities. Outside, a gîte or guest house built as an extension of a small building in 1998 in the style of a palombière offers a living area of approximately 60 m² and is organized in a row of a living room, a kitchen-dining room and a spacious bedroom with its bathroom and separate WC; a balcony/terrace accompanies this construction throughout, offering an outdoor space among the trees. Finally, three outbuildings are arranged, to the northwest of the house, into a barn of 150 m², a lean-to/shed of 110 m² and a workshop of 9 m². Halfway between Orthez and Pau, the A64 and A65 motorways and the Pau-Pyrénées airport are less than 30 minutes away.

This highly desirable Enclos Béarnaise enjoys a privileged hillside position with uninterrupted views across rolling countryside to the Pyrenees mountain range beyond. Tucked away in a private location, its pretty stone facade gives way to a deceptively spacious and delightfully comfortable home.  The property has been subject to two major renovations.  The former farmhouse dates back to 1850 and was originally rescued from its ruined state in 2000 by its previous owner, who was a skilled artist having studied in the renowned Ecole Boule in Paris.  The building was partially rebuilt using original and reclaimed materials to respect its true origins.  It was later acquired by its present architect owners in 2007 who initially set about to improve the energy efficiency of the farmhouse and personalise it to their requirements. In 2013, the adjoining barn was converted and extended to the south with a facade of full-height glass doors to draw in the exceptional views from the rolling countryside to the Pyrenees mountain range beyond. A number of eco-friendly measures have been taken to make the house low cost and energy efficient, including full double glazing, good insulation and the use of geothermic underfloor heating.  The property now boasts 270m2 of habitable space.  The ground floor offers a vast living/dining room which leads into an open plan kitchen; a spacious utility room;  two double bedrooms; a bathroom; two offices; and a guest cloakroom.  A cast iron spiral staircase leads to an impressive open plan mezzanine, currently used as an architect's office. In addition, a shower and WC on this floor allow for easy conversion into a parental suite should one so wish. To the other side of the house, the original wooden staircase leads to a further two bedrooms, a WC and shower room. The partially enclosed gardens of just over 3000m² include a gravelled entrance, terraces to the south, outdoor lighting, a large atelier that is fully insulated and could be easily transformed into a separate gite,  a car port and finally a small workshop for garden tools.  The little village with school, an organic vegetable farmer and a number of active sporting clubs, sits in rural countryside midway between the tourist town of Morlanne and the market town of Hagetmau, both of which can be reached in just over 10 minutes drive. The prefecture town of Mont de Marsan and the historic town of Pau can both be reached in approx 45 minutes.  Pau airport can be reached within 35 minutes, Tarbes-Lourdes airport within an hour and Biarritz within 80 minutes.  If you are seeking a professionally thought through renovation with high end finishes, a private and peaceful location, plenty of light, plenty of character and a home that flows beautifully, look no further. All this and spectacular mountain views? It's really is all here!! Information on the risks to which this property is exposed is available on the website Géorisques - https://www.georisques.gouv.fr

This building would also be ideal for Bed & Breakfast guests who may prefer to book short breaks during the low-season months. There is a growing demand for B&B accommodation from tourists visiting this beautiful area, especially during the summer months, the skiing season and for Christmas and New Year. You could even consider providing evening meals and picnic hampers for your guests' day trips... especially if the hampers are full of tasty Béarnaise and Basque delicacies! The Courtyard Garden bedrooms could also be used for accommodating Bed & Breakfast guests - or with the addition of a kitchen (or by redesigning the large summer kitchen), this part of the property could be used as a "gîte de groupe" where a large group of up to 15 people share the accommodation. This would make it possible to run residential holidays for horse-riding, rambling, cycling, skiing, mountain climbing... Your B&B accommodation would also appeal to horse-riders following the trans-European horse-riding bridleway - the "Route d'Artagnan" - which passes just 500 metres away, with many riders hoping to book overnight stays for themselves... and their horses! If you have horses yourself, it should be possible to build a shelter on the land or perhaps convert the garage or the adjoining wine cellar/storage room into a stable. This amazing property also has a large function room for hosting workshops, courses, weddings or corporate events. There is an ever-expanding market for yoga and wellness retreats, as well as holidays based around painting, photography, dance, music, theatre, gastronomy or wine-tasting... and when the weather’s perfect, the activities could take place in the delightful courtyard garden and grounds. Should you wish to set up a sports centre, a gym or a spa business, the function room, along with the swimming pool, sauna, jacuzzi and hammam, make this an ideal venue.
