A truly exceptional property where heritage, nature, quality of life, and business potential come together to create a unique estate in the heart of the Béarnaise Pyrenees.

Nestled in the beautiful Aspe Valley, surrounded by breathtaking natural scenery, this magnificent 18th-century stone residence offers an exceptional lifestyle combining authenticity, comfort, and refined country living.

Meticulously renovated using premium materials while preserving its original architectural character, the property retains all the charm of its historic heritage. Exposed stone walls, original timber beams, generous living spaces, and high-quality finishes create a warm, elegant, and welcoming atmosphere throughout.

Occupying an elevated position overlooking the valley, the property enjoys spectacular panoramic views across the Pyrenees. Ideally located just minutes from Oloron-Sainte-Marie, one hour from Pau International Airport, 40 minutes from the Spanish border, and on the route to the La Pierre Saint-Martin ski resort.

The estate extends over almost 1.8 hectares (approximately 4.4 acres), including around 6,000 m2 of beautifully landscaped gardens. An orchard, a variety of mature trees, natural hedgerows, and expansive outdoor relaxation areas create a peaceful haven offering complete privacy and tranquillity. A stylish 5 × 10-metre swimming pool blends seamlessly into this exceptional setting.

The property offers more than 410 m2 (4,400 sq ft) of living accommodation, comprising a private residence of approximately 210 m2 and a separate guest accommodation area of around 200 m2.

The main house features spacious, light-filled reception rooms, a fully equipped kitchen, four bedrooms-including an elegant principal suite-and a practical layout designed for comfortable everyday living.

The commercial accommodation, successfully operated as a Bed & Breakfast since 2016, is fully operational and ready to continue immediately. It includes five beautifully appointed guest rooms, each with its own en-suite shower room, a welcoming dining room with a wood-burning stove, a bar area, a fully equipped professional kitchen, a walk-in cold room, and all the equipment required to continue the business without interruption.

A magnificent stone barn of approximately 150 m2 (1,615 sq ft) on the ground floor completes the estate and offers outstanding development potential. It could be converted into holiday cottages, a reception venue, a wellness centre, artists' studios, or an additional private residence.

With sustainability in mind, the property is equipped with a solar tracker system, enabling significant self-consumption of electricity and reducing energy costs by up to 50%.

Equally suited as an exceptional family home or an established hospitality business, the estate offers remarkable flexibility. Its layout, generous proportions, and existing facilities provide excellent opportunities for a wide range of projects, including boutique hospitality, wellness retreats, private events, group accommodation, or a multigenerational family residence.

Rarely available, this outstanding estate will appeal to discerning buyers seeking a character property with an established and profitable hospitality business in one of the most desirable locations of the Béarnaise Pyrenees.
