Dating from the late 17th century, this handsome historic property has remained in the same family for some 300 years.
Over the years, it has been sympathetically restored and carefully maintained, retaining many of its original architectural features while providing comfortable and well-appointed accommodation.
The principal entrance is approached via a gravel driveway and opens into an impressive entrance hall with its original tiled floor. From here, doors lead to a welcoming sitting room and dining room, both with fireplaces, as well as a drawing room and library overlooking the front of the property.
A small turret forms an attractive feature to the rear of the reception rooms.
The central hallway continues through the house towards the rear, where steps lead down to the gardens.
A staircase descends to the spacious dining kitchen, utility room and pantry, with a further door providing direct access to the side of the property.
The well-appointed kitchen has ample workspace and storage, together with a magnificent fireplace housing a wood-burning stove, creating a warm and inviting heart to the house.
Above this area are two particularly spacious bedrooms, each benefiting from its own en-suite bathroom and elegant roll-top bath.
The main staircase from the entrance hall leads to the first floor, where four individually styled and generously proportioned bedrooms are found. One bedroom benefits from an en-suite bathroom within the turret, while the remaining bedrooms share the principal family bathroom.
A further staircase leads to a seventh bedroom, which also has en-suite facilities.
To the side of the main house, and accessed independently from the rear gardens, the former pigeonnier has been beautifully converted into a delightful two-bedroom gite. With its own terrace, it provides ideal accommodation for visiting family and friends, paying guests or those seeking a degree of independence from the main house.
Opposite the pigeonnier, on the other side of the gardens, is a substantial barn with a generous floor area. The building offers considerable potential for a variety of uses, including further accommodation, leisure facilities, workshops or storage, subject to the necessary planning consents.
The property extends to approximately 3 hectares of parkland and woodland, incorporating a delightful combination of formal and informal gardens.
Mature trees provide privacy and shade, while numerous terraces and seating areas create attractive spaces in which to enjoy the gardens and surrounding countryside throughout the day.
To the rear of the barn is a superb saltwater swimming pool, which has recently benefited from a new liner.
The pool and surrounding terraces provide a wonderful setting for outdoor entertaining and relaxing during the summer months.
Approached from a quiet country lane via a tree-lined driveway, the property enjoys an enviable private and peaceful setting while remaining conveniently accessible to local amenities.
A thriving village is only a short drive away, while a nearby town provides an excellent range of shops, restaurants, services and sporting facilities for all ages.
The renowned spa town of Eugenie-les-Bains, famous for its Michelin-starred restaurant, thermal spa and golf course, is approximately 30 minutes away.
The wider Chalosse region is renowned for its rich history, traditional villages, gastronomy and beautiful countryside. The unspoilt beaches of the Landes coast can be reached in around one hour, while Pau, with its historic centre, cultural attractions, regional airport and TGV station, is less than an hour to the east.
Bordeaux and Toulouse international airports are also readily accessible via the motorway network, with the nearest autoroutes less than 30 minutes from the property.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial historic country house offering an exceptional combination of character, space, privacy and versatility, together with the potential to develop the existing accommodation and outbuildings further, subject to planning.

Buying a Property in France
1. Signing the Agreement (Compris)
On finding a property you wish to purchase you will need to negotiate the terms, price and conditions of the sale with the owner.
The next step, once you are in agreement, is to sign the preliminary contract (Compromis de Vente). This is a legal document and after ten days will be binding on both parties. Rules change frequently in France and it is best to consult with your notary about when this period starts. Generally the compris will be signed in France with the Agent.
Variants can be included in the compris, for example an Acte (clause) can be added if the name or names to go on the title deed have not been finalised. If a mortgage will be required to purchase the property, the details for this, including the name of the mortgage company, must be on the compris.
2. Paying the Deposit
Generally the deposit will be 10% of the agreed purchase price. This will normally be paid to the notaire. There are exceptions to this, if the agent holds a carte professionelle, is bonded and fully registered then you may pay them, but do not hand over the deposit to anyone else. If for some reason the purchase does not go through, for example, if you write to the notaire and the agent that you do not wish to go continue with the purchase before the contract is binding (within seven days of signing the compris), then your deposit would be repaid. This would also apply if a condition had not been met, or the mayor or S.A.F.E.R. (a government agency that has the right of first purchase on most rural property that comes onto the market in France) could oblige the purchaser to give way. If you decide after the seven days 'cooling off' period that you do not wish to complete the purchase and pull out of the sale you would lose your deposit. If however the vendor pulls out of the sale then you will receive your deposit back plus the same amount from the vendor.
3. On Completion
Generally it will take around two or three months to complete the purchase.
During this time the balance of the purchase money must be paid into the account of the notaire, this must be done well ahead of the completion date. The notaire will prepare the documents, check that the deed of sale (Acte de Vente) is in order and have the legal title ready to be signed over. It is possible to have someone sign on your behalf if you give them power of attorney. An interpreter may be of use at this point if your French is not very good and many Notaires will suggest (or insist) that an interpreter is with you.
