Description

This family home, dating back to 1860, is situated in the upper town on a promontory, and overlooks the Pays d'Orthe plain, which is traversed by the "Gaves Réunis" (confluence of the Gave de Pau and Gave d'Oloron rivers) in the south of the Landes department. Two low-lying meadows or alluvial plains flank the site.

You are welcomed into the large reception room by a pretty terrace. Furthermore, the ground floor offers open plan living (kitchen, dining room and cosy snug), a shower room with WC and a utility room/pantry. A large terrace is adjacent to the kitchen.

The first floor comprises four bedrooms, dressing room, bathroom and private WC. The large landing leads also to the second floor, the attic, that could easily be transformed into further accommodation. The views from the property are to historical monuments and the lush green countryside and the river.

High ceilings (3.80m) allow light to flow through the property. The stone exposed walls were treated with lime, so they can breathe. The property benefits from double glazing, a heat pump air-air and a recently installed hot water boiler.

The area boasts of history and historical monuments like the Arthous Abbey (12th century), the Hastingues town gate (14th century), the Saint-Sauveur Church, the Château d'Estrac (18th century), and so much more.

Perfectly situated at 30-40 minutes from the towns of Bayonne and the coastal resort of Biarritz on the Atlantic ocean, the property also has easy access to motorways, train stations and airports.

Landes is part of the current region of Nouvelle-Aquitaine and is surrounded by the departments of Gironde, Lot-et-Garonne, Gers, and Pyrénées-Atlantiques, as well as the Atlantic Ocean on the west. With an area stretching over more than 9000 km, Landes is, after Gironde, the second largest department of the metropolitan French territory.

In terms of agriculture, Landes is known for its large pine forests which are the raw material for a timber and resin industries in the region. The forests were planted in the early nineteenth century to prevent erosion of the region’s sandy soil by the sea.
