Splendid villa for sale in 1.6 ha with pool. Hautes Pyrenees

Ready to move into today, this superb architect-designed villa with swimming pool could not be more perfect for you!
Currently a wonderful family home, the property would also be ideal for a boutique Bed and Breakfast business since each of its five bedrooms has a private bathroom/shower room.

Set in beautiful riverside gardens of 1.6 hectares (4 acres), the property is perfect for horses - and you may even like to welcome horse-riders (and their horses!) who are following the trans-European bridleway - the "Route d'Artagnan" - which passes just 3.5km away from the villa, along with pilgrims who are walking the Chemin-de-St-Jacques-de-Compostelle pilgrim route, which is only a 5-minute walk away.

Located on the outskirts of a small market town, boulangeries, shops, schools, bars and restaurants are just a 10-minute walk away - as are buses to Tarbes and Marciac.

Extending beyond the courtyard are the wooded grounds of 1.6 hectares (4 acres), which are bordered by a gently flowing river. Hidden in the woods is a fronton for playing pelote. There is ample space for keeping one or two horses in the grounds - and you may even like to think about creating a summer kitchen area, a children's play area, a treehouse, a boules piste...

Situated in the lovely Hautes-Pyrénées, the villa is close to ski resorts in the Pyrénées (70 - 90 minutes), surfing and family beaches on the Atlantic coast (100 minutes) and several rivers for exciting watersports. The centre of Tarbes is 30 minutes away, the TGV station is 25 minutes away and Tarbes-Lourdes airport is 35 minutes away. The TotalEnergies HQ and the International School of Béarn in Pau are both 45 minutes away.
