Castles with terrace for sale Tartas, France

ELEGANT 19th-CENTURY HILLTOP CHÂTEAU + 10 ACRES + POOL & TENNIS + IDEAL CHIC HOTEL/B&B/EVENTS/CORPORATE HQ... This delightful château of 468m² is located in a tiny hilltop hamlet close to a charming rural village in the beautiful Béarn, close to Atlantic beach resorts and Pyrenean ski resorts. The pretty towns of Salies-de-Béarn and Orthez are 10 minutes away; Pau and Bayonne are 40 - 45 minutes away via the nearby motorway. Although in need of some finishing, the new owners can move in straight away and will immediately feel at home! Further renovation works are required on the lower-ground-floor (garden level), but this definitely increases the potential of this stylish property, since you will have the chance to design the layout of this immense area of 150m² to suit your own particular project... Located at the end of a winding country lane, the château is accessible via a private drive, which leads around to a small parking area. Built in 1898, the property is set in an estate of 4.16 hectares (10 acres) with a swimming pool, a tennis court (in need of rehabilitation) and various terraces for outdoor dining. Stone steps at the front of the château lead up to the front door, which opens into an impressive central entrance hall. The light and airy hall is dominated by an elegant double staircase, which leads up to the first floor of the property. A door at the far end of the hall opens out to two sets of stone steps, which echo the shape of the double staircase and which lead down to the grounds, the swimming pool and the tennis court. Set around the entrance hall, the ground floor of the château comprises a large sitting room, a dining room with an open fireplace, a library/study/office and a kitchen. A wooden staircase next to the library/study/office leads down to the château's lower ground floor (garden level), which is partially renovated. There was previously a kitchen, a sitting room, three bedrooms and a bathroom on this floor, so the space could easily be transformed into a self-contained apartment, if desired. There is still a useable utility room, along with a shower cubicle. Doors from this floor open out directly into the gardens and grounds. From the entrance hall, the beautiful double staircase leads up to a huge landing on the first floor. From the landing, a door opens out onto a lovely balcony with views of the swimming pool and grounds. The first-floor rooms are set around the landing and comprise two master bedrooms, each with an en suite bathroom (bath, shower, handbasin & WC), two further bedrooms, each with an en suite shower room (shower & handbasin) and a separate WC with a handbasin. It would be possible to use the second floor as a self-contained apartment, since there was previously a small kitchen area in one of the rooms, which is now used as a children's bedroom/guest bedroom. There are four further bedrooms on this floor, along with a family bathroom (bath, shower, handbasin & WC) and a shower room (shower, handbasin & WC). There is also a sunny sitting room, which could be used as a study/office/games room/playroom/home cinema...
