Exceptional estate nestled within its 4 hectares of grounds in a peaceful location
This exceptional property, formerly a hunting lodge of Gaston Fébus (1331-1391), was later, according to legend, the home of Jeanne d'Albret (1528-1572) and her son, the future Henry IV.
Over the years, the property was acquired by prominent French families (Maurice Escande, Cécile Sorel, etc.) who wished to live away from the limelight.
A true haven of peace, this estate offers a unique living environment.
The main house comprises 295 square meters of living space.
It is built of river stones with an original architectural style, consisting of a main building and a tower. A small house at the entrance to the property, a barn, several outbuildings, and a swimming pool complete the ensemble.
The house is spread over three levels. It includes an entrance, a living room, a dining room, a kitchen and a dining area, an office, 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a shower room, a dressing room and two rooms to be converted, accessible by an independent staircase located between the house and the barn.
The recently restored tower is approximately 87 square meters. The windows are still single-glazed.
The grounds are wooded and pleasant. They consist of landscaped gardens, meadows, woods, and a pond. All of this is situated on approximately 43 000 square meters of adjoining land.
Located between the Atlantic coast and the Pyrenees, the property is also in easy reach to airports, motorways and TGV train stations.

Discuss an Offer
If this or other properties are of potential serious interest, you may wish to speak in confidence and without obligation or commitment with a sympathetic senior negotiator to discuss what flexibility there may be in the price.
Getting the right deal can be a question of good timing and we have that information.
Whatever you read in the press, it is simply not true that one can apply a percentage discount to the price of any property we like the look of. And it is a real shame to fall in love with a property that is beyond what you wish to spend or can afford.
To arrange a callback, please email in-confidence@beauxvillages.com
