Magnificent castle with guest houses, outbuildings and 2.46 hectares of mature gardens and woodland

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 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 conservatory, 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 and an orangerie. 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.
