19th-century château near the Pyrenees - Renovation project

This charming château, dating from the 19th century, offers approx. 750 sqm of living space and sits on a 33-hectare plot of continuous land. It includes several outbuildings, a dovecote and a river flowing through part of the grounds. 

Historic setting between Bigorre and Béarn 

Situated close to Pontacq, a medieval village between Bigorre and Béarn, the property lies at a crossroads of regional and national history. The area, on the edge of the Pyrénées-Atlantiques département, was once a site of fierce conflict between Protestants and Catholics. 

Key features 

Surrounded by unspoilt countryside, this noble residence is set over three floors and retains much of its original character. The 750 sqm of living space includes several period features: a grand salon with wood-panelled fireplace, a formal dining room with parquet flooring and an impressive staircase leading to 10 bedrooms, a kitchen and pantry. 

The grounds are densely wooded with century-old trees, and the land is crossed by a river and features a natural spring. Two outbuildings and a dovecote offer further potential for restoration. 

Currently, the property is heated via fireplaces and wood-burning stoves. Wastewater is managed by a private system.

With 33 hectares of uninterrupted land, this château offers a rare opportunity to create an exceptional retreat in the south of France. The location is just a short distance from the Pyrenees - one of the most popular destinations in southern France for outdoor and cultural tourism. The world-famous pilgrimage town of Lourdes is also nearby.
