Location
Fifty minutes from Hossegor, a seaside resort in the Landes department, known for its surf spots, the property is located between the Adour and Gave de Pau Rivers and to the south of the Dax-Mont-de-Marsan line, where the landscape of the Chalosse region, with its many valleys and fertile pastures, is noticeably different from the coastal Landes countryside. In addition, the A64 motorway provides easy access to both Toulouse and the Atlantic coast.
Description
The Manor
The ground floor
With a stone tile floor, the entrance hall’s main feature is an ionic-inspired pillar flanked on either side by two stone arches, while a 14th-century staircase provides access to the guestrooms and a portion of the private living quarters, which include three bedrooms and a living room. On one side, double doors framed by massive stone blocks open onto a private living room decorated with 18th-century wood panelling and a fireplace with a moulded chimneybreast, while, on the other side, a sitting room reserved for guests has hardwood floors, wood wall panelling, a fireplace crowned with a moulded chimneybreast and a small-paned picture window. At the end of the hallway, a large private dining room abuts a kitchen with ochre, grey and dark grey floor tiles, a fireplace as well as glass double doors that open onto the grounds nearest the swimming pool. On the other side of the hallway, a large kitchen-dining room, reserved for guests’ breakfasts, has a vast floor-to-ceiling height, three-tone oak hardwood floors, two picture windows as well as a set of glass double doors that provide ample sunlight.
The first floor
Accessible from a staircase with smooth granite steps, this floor’s elegant and luminous guestrooms have floor-to-ceiling heights that accentuate their overall feeling of volume, while honey-colour hardwood floors can be found throughout and the walls are painted in soft tones that highlight the room’s decorative mouldings as well as their fireplaces. In addition, the shower rooms on this level are all embellished with Art Deco-style earthenware tiles.
As for the private living quarters, with vast floor-to-ceiling heights and honey-colour hardwood floors, they are decorated in a more understated manner and include three bedrooms as well as a living room-library.
The garage
Adjacent to the tower, it will require major renovations, but could be transformed into a holiday cottage.
The reception building
Extending on from the tower, this building includes a reception hall, professional kitchen as well as a storehouse and guest lavatory. With stone walls, its impressive floor-to-ceiling height and mezzanine emphasise this space’s overall feeling of volume.
The chapel
With a floor area of approximately 80 m², it was transformed into a holiday cottage and includes two bedrooms, a living room with an open kitchen, two bedrooms and a shower room.
The Four-Hectare Grounds
Mostly wooded, the grounds include a large, renovated swimming pool facing a one-hectare pasture, while a pond is located below the chapel.
Our opinion
Nestled in the bucolic countryside of the Chalosse region, once part of the former Gascony province, this elegant and renovated property, in an excellent state of upkeep, will be able to seamlessly continue its professional activity under its new ownership: namely, hosting seminars and weddings as well as providing guest accommodations. Sheltered from view, surrounded by peace and quiet and only one hour from the beaches on the Atlantic coast, this property invites guests to discover its tasteful décor and immense, brightly-lit and comfortable spaces, while its outdoor areas are also one of the estate’s key assets thanks to its lovely swimming pool come summertime.
