South of Bagnères, just fifteen minutes from the top ski resort of the Pyreneees 'la Mongie', nestling in the stunning environment of the mountains with 3,970 m² of land, this gorgeous three bedroom Bigourdane farm (213 m² living space), also boasts an acitve gîte plus 160 m² of outbuildings with further potential.
The buildings are arranged in a 'U' with the main aspect to the south. The main house, a large barn, and two gîtes (one is in need of renovation) are organised around a large grassy courtyard.
The main house has been very tastefully renovated. On the ground floor you enter the huge living room/dining room with open fireplace (61 m²). The large kitchen (30 m²) faces south east, and boasts an 'insert' - a fitted, glass fronted and vented wood burner - very efficient form of heating. There is also a bathroom, wc and a cellar (25 m²). All these rooms have kept their natural rustic style, with much exposed wood and lovely floor tiles.
A wooden staircase takes you to the first floor, with wooden floors throughout. The rooms upstairs lead off a large mezzanine ( 31 m²). There are two bedrooms ( 20 m² and 14 m²), with access the the pretty south facing balcony (5 m²). There is another large room on this floor which still awaits renovation.
The second floor consists of a lovely and well lit attic bedroom, measuring 23 m² excluding eave space.
The house has been built in a very traditional fashion, with local stone walls. The barn forms an 'L' off the main house and faces west. This offers potential of 100 m² on the ground floor, with the same on the first floor.
The building continues, with further outbuildings forming the other leg of the 'U'. These are not overlooked, part has already been converted into a gîte, sleeping two, and currently generates €7,000 per annum. This accommodation consists of a living room/kitchen, a shower room/wc on the ground floor (22 m²), and the bedroom on the first floor (11 m²).
Adjoined to this, there is the possibility of creating a second gîte, on three floors, to sleep 4. The ground floor surface area is 30 m². If this was done you could considerably increase your annual income.
This lovely 18th century farm sits in grounds totalling 3,970 m², bordered by a very pretty mountain stream, in the midst of the beautiful countryside of the foothills of the mountains.
There is very little work to be done on the main house, which is very well maintained and sympathetically restored. The slate roofs were renovated in 1980 and 1999, the windows are double glazed and the joinery wood, there is central heeating in the main house augmented by the 'insert' in the living room, and the gîte has electric heating. There is a septic tank.
The property is just 10km from the spa town of Bagnères de Bigorre, just fifteen minutes from the lower ski slopes, 25 km from Tournay and from the motorway, 30km from the large market town of Tarbes (TGV), 1 hour from Pau (Ryanair), 1hr45mins from Toulouse (TGV, motorail, International Airport - Easyjet, Flybe, BMIBaby), and just over two hours from Biarritz and the Atlantic beach resorts.
