French country house near Pau - 30 acres

Just 10 minutes from the city centre of Pau, at an altitude of 350 meters, we present this small Château set on 12 hectares of land with outbuildings. A 600-meter-long avenue leads from the main road to the estate, nestled in a green refuge. The Château spans 750 m², with the outbuildings covering 500 m² and 230 m², and a gatehouse of 50 m². A swimming pool completes the offering, all in a tranquil setting with breathtaking views of the Pyrenees. 

The Château, dating from the 16th and 17th centuries, is marked by refined details, a tower addition, a decorative façade, and a superb panoramic location. On 3 hectares, there is potential for replanting vines under the "Jurançon contrôlé" appellation, subject to approval.
