Located in a village just 20 minutes from Pau, this authentic Enclos Béarnais is a fully preserved historic farmstead offering more than 340 sqm of living space. The property includes a traditional main house, numerous outbuildings and a generous plot surrounded by nature – ideal for individual residential or project-based use. 

The Main House 
The ground floor welcomes you with a charming entrance hall featuring original tiled floors (9.5 sqm), a dining room (30 sqm), a spacious living room (36 sqm), a bedroom suite (27 sqm), a large eat-in kitchen (32 sqm), a utility room (22 sqm) and a bathroom. 

A traditional wooden staircase leads to the upper floor, which comprises four bright bedrooms (ranging from 22 to 30 sqm), an additional room (22 sqm), and a separate WC. Three further rooms (14, 16 and 19 sqm) offer flexible space for a studio, home office or guest accommodation. 

The large attic, still to be converted, presents further potential – perhaps for guest rooms or a spacious loft.

The Grounds
Set on approximately 8,500 sqm of land with mature trees and a peaceful atmosphere, this property is ideal for nature lovers. The outbuildings – including barns and former stables with a total of around 500 sqm over two levels – provide ample room for workshops, livestock, events or holiday rentals.
