In the medieval district of Sainte-Croix, where Place Saint-Pierre forms the heart of an area steeped in over a thousand years of history, a jewel lies hidden. This magnificent character house for sale in Oloron-Sainte-Marie is part of the city's architectural heritage. A building from the 18th century integrated into the AVAP (Area for the Enhancement of Architecture and Heritage), it combines the depth of the old with the comfort of contemporary renovation. A rare opportunity in this area. A character house in Oloron-Sainte-Marie, a true historical gem.
Approximately 260 m2 of living space unfolds over several levels, rhythmic with stone walls, generous heights, and the timeless charm of Béarn buildings. A fireplace, period flooring, and generous volumes: the whole exudes this atmosphere of benevolence and serenity characteristic of residences that have traversed the centuries. The kitchen is fully equipped, with both gas and electric options. A laundry room completes the service areas. Double glazing ensures thermal comfort, complemented by a new air/water heat pump from 2026 (no energy investments required).
This character house in Oloron-Sainte-Marie also consists of six bedrooms, two of which (on the second floor) are equipped with their own shower room, private toilets, and reversible air conditioning. The spatial organization of the property, designed for everyone's comfort, meets the needs of both a large family and a guest house project, with a natural capacity of four rooms. A rare garden in the city center, the only one overlooking Place Saint-Pierre.
Rare in the city center: an intimate private garden offers a lovely unobstructed view. It is one of the most unique assets of this character house in Oloron-Sainte-Marie. A small cocoon just steps away from all amenities, it creates a counterpoint of greenery and calm within a lively historic district. The independent annex of 20 m2 (ideal for a liberal profession, a consultation office, or a meditation/yoga space) enhances the exceptional versatility of the whole. A garage and a parking space with a charging station for electric vehicles complete the property.
A prime location, everything within walking distance. Oloron-Sainte-Marie, the historical capital of Haut-Béarn, is accessible by train and Pau airport, and can be easily explored on foot. Primary schools, a middle school, a high school, shops, transport, restaurants: everything is accessible without a car. The Sainte-Marie Cathedral, classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site for the Santiago de Compostela Pilgrimage Routes, is just a few minutes' walk away. The Aspe and Ossau valleys and ski resorts are less than an hour's drive away, the Basque Country an hour and a half away, and you can reach Spain (Zaragoza) in less than three hours.
This character house in Oloron-Sainte-Marie is a heritage building with high potential. The building is integrated into the heritage of the town of Oloron-Sainte-Marie. Its configuration (six bedrooms with private bathrooms, independent annex, garden in the city center) naturally lends itself to a guest house project that can accommodate four rooms, in line with the historical vocation of the site.
