Beautiful 18th Century Farmhouse, Navarrenx, Pyrenees-Atlantiques

Property Description

Whilst being well renovated and full of modern creature comforts, there is something about the historic and romantic air at this 18th Century Béarnaise farmstead that simply feels like you are stepping back in time to another era altogether. Located by a pretty stream and woodland in a small village, it’s just a few kilometres from the 14th century historic town of Navarrenx, officially recognised and one of France’s Plus Beaux Villages.





If you are looking for a property with the potential to develop and really make your own, this house could be a good contender.  The main house has been beautifully renovated and ready to move straight in, but there is another farmhouse that requires renovation (subject to permission) and may offer the potential to create a gite perhaps, or separate accommodation for visiting friends and family.

Location





The property is located in the village of Araujuzon near Navarrenx, a 14th century fortified bastide town known for its historic architecture, riverside setting and weekly market.  This part of Béarn is valued for its traditional villages, rolling countryside and access to outdoor activities including walking, cycling and fishing and the coast is just an hour away.





The area offers a relaxed pace of life while remaining within reach of the Pyrenees, the Atlantic coast and the Spanish border and there is so much to explore in this area.  Other towns and villages that are well worth exploring include Savuveterre-de-Béarn, Salies-de-Béarn, Oloron-Sainte-Marie, Laàs, Lucq-de-Béarn, Orthez and Pau.
