About this place
Set on a sprawling 9.24 hectares in the Jurançon wine region, this exquisite 18th-century Béarnais estate features a charming five-bedroom main house alongside a converted former winery that serves as a three-bedroom guest cottage. The property’s extensive grounds include private gardens, meadows, and woodland, creating a serene environment with breathtaking views of the Pyrenees.
The main house, fully renovated in 2005, boasts historical character, with updates including a natural slate roof, a spacious open-plan living area, and a large family kitchen that opens onto a raised terrace. Accommodation on the first and second floors provides a mix of comfort and style, supported by modern amenities such as a Viessmann oil-fired boiler.
The guest cottage was refurbished in 2015 and features a large cinema room and a private garden. This flexible space not only enhances the charm of the estate but also offers the potential for rental income. Despite its tranquil and picturesque surroundings, the property remains conveniently located just 10 minutes from Pau, as well as within easy reach of ski resorts, Biarritz, and the Spanish border, making it an ideal retreat for both relaxation and adventure.

Buying property in France
France places no restrictions on foreign property ownership. The notaire (a public official, not a lawyer for either side) handles the conveyance and is paid by the buyer. A French bank account is strongly recommended for completion funds and ongoing charges.
No residency requirement to buy.
Non-resident mortgages available from French banks, typically 70–80% LTV with stricter affordability checks.
France abolished taxe d'habitation on primary residences (2023) but it still applies to second homes — and many communes now apply a surcharge of up to 60% on second homes in high-demand zones.
General guidance only — confirm specifics with a qualified local lawyer or tax adviser. Reference
