Magical Retreat with Mountain Views

This magical country retreat will leave you exhilarated with the truly exceptional views of the mountains and rolling hills.
Even as you approach this house, your appetite is wetted by the wonderful gates which are the 'doorway' to another world, a magical place! the property has a beautiful private driveway and her companion blossom trees, flanked on either side by the lush lawn.

Once an old farmhouse, some parts of the building date back three centuries. Recently renovated, everything has been replaced or updated with a special flair that combines beloved vintage elements (such as the sweeping staircase, traditional fireplaces and classic flooring) along with contemporary ones for modern-day living.

The kitchen / diner with magnificent eye level appliances and an island to envy! The result is so pleasing, both practically and visually.

Original windows allow light to flood in, as do the graceful high ceilings and unique features. In fact, there is a feeling of 'grandeur' here vintage and classic but, above all things, warm and inviting, oozing with charm.

The house flows so easily and there are various entrances and ways to go inside / outside. Sitting comfortably within its grounds, which are private and parklike, you cannot fail to be impressed.

Petlovers, take a relaxed walk with your dogs without any worries as the entire perimeter is fenced off and your pets are safe.

Fancy taking a dip in the saltwater pool with a breathtaking backdrop of the Pyrenees in all their splendour? Here you can and will find such beauty and more a walk through an enchanting wood of your very own, gentle slopes which give an unbridled view of rollling hills and the quaint red tiled roofs in the distance, memorable sunsets and, of course, fields of sunflowers saluting the sun in unison.

The department of Hautes-Pyrenees is the southern-most department of the Midi Pyrenees region, its capital being the beautiful town of Tarbes. The department has a very interesting geography as two small sections belonging geographically to Aquitaine are administratively part of the Hautes-Pyrenees. The department is split into two very different landscapes: mountains to the south covering half of the department, valleys to the north where the majority of the towns and villages are.

The economy of the department is mainly agricultural and tourism. Inside Midi Pyrenees, smaller areas have traditional names such as the Comminges (east of Toulouse) or the famous Gascony. Hautes-Pyrenees is a very nice area to settle and one area to look out for (not very well known) is the Baronnies, a set of 30 villages which decided to preserve their rural traditions. An unspoilt area, they represent the rural idyll for anybody in search for absolute peace, authenticity and rest.
