iad France - Germain Ponçon offers you: There are places that seem suspended in time. Dwellings that bear the imprints of history, whispers of the past, and the discreet echo of generations that have inhabited them. This castle, hidden in the hills of southwestern France, is one of those.\n\nBuilt around 1585 on the heights of an ancient Béarnaise fief, it was the residence of a noble lineage loyal to Henri de Navarre. Erected as a fortified manor, it transformed over time into a refined residence, a testimony to the transition between defensive Renaissance and the art of living in the 18th century. Bright lounges, large fireplaces, generous volumes: everything here invites serenity. And from the heights of the estate, the view now stretches to the majestic and soothing Pic du Midi d'Ossau.\n\nTurbulent periods have not spared this dwelling, particularly at the end of the 18th century. But far from collapsing, it has reinvented itself. Successive transformations in the 19th century, a more familial use, followed by a long period of dormancy, preceded its recent renaissance.\n\nAt the dawn of the 21st century, the castle was completely restored by enthusiasts, respecting its architectural identity. Today, it presents itself once again to the eye, lovingly restored, except for one of its towers, preserved in its state to allow the imagination of its future owner to roam freely.\n\nWith a living area of about 400 m², it offers a vast reception hall, spacious bedrooms, and tastefully preserved antique elements: stone and wooden staircases, exposed beams, period fireplaces... Modern comforts (heating, electricity, equipped kitchen, shower rooms, and bathroom) are discreetly integrated.\n\nThe park of nearly 1 hectare surrounds the building with its centenary vegetation, while the almost 10 hectares of the estate offer meadows, woods, and private paths. An idyllic natural setting, without any overlooking properties, for a peaceful life or hospitality projects.\n\nA 100 m² barn can accommodate your projects such as stables, storage, or conversion into a guesthouse... A 54 m² cellar adds additional charm and potential for wine enthusiasts.\n\nLocated 35 minutes from Pau, equipped with a TGV train station and an international airport, the castle benefits from a strategic location combining absolute tranquility and accessibility. The Atlantic beaches and the peaks of the Pyrenees are about 1 hour and 30 minutes away.\n\nThis property reveals itself only to those who can read its ancient lines. It does not present itself as a simple real estate property but as an exceptional place, full of soul, ready to welcome a life project, a family home, a hospitality space, or an artist's dream.\n\nAnonymous by choice, this castle awaits you, ready to write a new page of history.\n\nAnd what if it were yours?\n\nAgency fees are the responsibility of the seller.
