CastleMont (64)

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, which offers 530m² of habitable surface area, 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 reception room, a wine cellar and an overground pool. The property includes 4 separate outbuildings including a gite, a barn, a fortified farm (which contains a two bedroom farmhouse), and a large hen house made with river stones.
The 2 bedroom gite set in its own walled garden, could readily be offered as a seasonal holiday let with minimal investment.
The property offers a unique commercial opportunity to develop all of the outbuildings offering a number of options such as Wellness/Yoga retreat, Wedding Venue, shops, bars and/or tearooms (subject to planning and obtaining the necessary licences) making this a destination of choice.
There is also an annex joined to the back of the chateau with 3 bedrooms. There is a great potential for refurbishment in this area, and it could be a separate rental property with a private entrance.
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.
(This property is also available for 850,000€ to include the gatehouse and Orangery.)
