Historic country house near Lourdes

Just five minutes from Lourdes and in complete privacy, this late 18th-century estate offers eight bedrooms, over 4,300 sq ft of living space, and sits on a 1.5-hectare property. Facing south, the residence has served various purposes over its long history and is now fully renovated, offering a distinguished home at the foot of the Pyrenees. 

A tree-lined, illuminated driveway leads to the main house. The terrace provides scenic views of the surrounding countryside, while multiple French doors connect the interior to the outdoor spaces. 

The ground floor opens into a central hallway with the original reception counter. To the right, a 645 sq ft dining room features a monumental fireplace and pellet stove. To the left, a 280 sq ft salon retains its original wood counter. The adjoining 345 sq ft kitchen includes a pellet stove and an original bread oven. All rooms are filled with natural light through numerous doors and windows. A rear corridor links these spaces to a guest toilet and wine cellar. 

The first floor, accessible via the main staircase or the service stairs behind the kitchen, has a 140 sq ft hallway leading to five bedrooms, each with its own bathroom:

• Bedroom 194 sq ft with 54 sq ft bath, mountain views
• Master suite 226 sq ft with 108 sq ft bath (formerly hosted prominent guests, including a French president)
• Bedroom 204 sq ft with 54 sq ft bath, French doors to the rear garden
• Two 323 sq ft salons: one with direct garden access, the other with fireplace and balcony overlooking the mountains, ideal as a library, playroom, or study
• Bedroom 280 sq ft facing south with 54 sq ft bath
• Bedroom 172 sq ft with fireplace and 75 sq ft bath

The second floor, reached via a separate staircase, is currently unfinished. It includes two additional bedrooms with en suite baths, three extra rooms, and a convertible attic.

Outside, the terrace runs along the facade, and the lower garden is suitable for a swimming pool. The 1.5-hectare property also includes a well and a laundry area adjacent to the main house.

Technical features include a slate roof, wooden framed double-glazed windows, heating via pellet stoves and modern electric radiators in each room, and connection to the public sewer system.
