From the kitchen, a door opens into a delightful summer kitchen with a pizza oven. Beyond this room is a fantastic yoga studio/function room with a cathedral ceiling and a bar/office area.

The guest cottage/gîte would also be perfect for using as an office/consulting room.

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. Clients from Pau will love the short trip out to the property where they can relax in the tranquil countryside environment...

This unique 17th Century Château, located at the end of its private driveway, surrounded by lush countryside, offers 550m² of accommodation, along with rustic French barns and a substantial loft space which could all be converted into more habitable space. The Château was originally built in 1680, and remained within the same French family for over 300 years. The property has been lovingly restored in recent years and benefits today from a central heating system, updated plumbing and modern electrics, along with elegantly decorated rooms. This country home is bursting with charm with its polished wood paneling, authentic oak floors, beautifully restored staircases and grand reception area. Every detail added to the property was thoughtfully put together. Even the corner stones of the main house were placed so that the building is perfectly aligned with the equinox. Having served as a family home for over 300 years, the property provides formal elegance with modern comforts. Living accommodation comprises 5 reception rooms, 8 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 3 en-suites, a utility, and scullery. Alongside the main Château, you will find « La Pigeonnaire », a charming 2 bedroom guardian’s cottage which currently serves as an idyllic gîte for holiday makers. In addition, there is a large two-storey barn, which so far has provided the perfect area for entertaining, along with its covered dining terrace that overlooks the surrounding fields, and a 10m x 5m salt-water swimming pool. Next to the barn is a pool house with its own original bread oven. There is also an open barn that currently serves as a woodstore, and a decorative kiosk close to the vegetable garden. The grounds comprise woodland, pasture and a stunningly maintained garden with 2 spring water wells. The property is located within the commune of Sainte Colombe, a charming village with a great local school and a recently renovated tennis court. The market town of Hagetmau, known for its Olympic-sized swimming pool, is only a short drive, where you can enjoy the local markets, restaurants and bars, and a stroll through the historical centre. The area is rich in culture and history, and the market town of Saint Sever, with its UNESCO World Heritage Site Abbey, is also only a 10 minute drive. Just over an hour’s drive to the stunning Atlantic Coast, or the Pyrenees mountain range, the Château is located in one of the most sought after areas of France. The relaxed lifestyle, the accessibility to the outdoors, and the unbelievable gastronomy, make this place a real gem. The property would make the ideal family home, but also has the potential to run one to several businesses. Pau, Lourdes and Biarritz airports are also all easily accessible.

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 six separate outbuildings including two gites (of which one is the former gatehouse and offers an overground pool), a barn, a fortified farm (which contains a two bedroom farmhouse) and an orangerie. The property offers a unique commerical 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. One of the gites is currently a very successful airbnb rental, generating a nice income in high season. 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.
