THE POTENTIAL!

This wonderful property has living space of 318m² (house + 2 gîtes), making it ideal for a spacious family home or a luxurious holiday home... and with seven bedrooms to choose from, you will have plenty of room to accommodate your friends and family when they come to visit you!

The property is perfectly located for anyone who works in Lourdes, Tarbes or Pau, with Safran Helicopter Engines 20 minutes away and TotalEnergies HQ 30 minutes away. If you work from home or need an office/consulting room for your business, you might like to create office space in one of the gîtes or in the wellness suite, which would allow you to have a private entrance.

Should you wish to continue to offer gîte and B&B accommodation to holidaymakers, you can open up for business straight away, since much of the furniture in the gîtes and B&B bedrooms will be included in the sale. If, in the future, you would like to enlarge either of the gîtes or create one or two extra B&B bedrooms, there is unconverted space on both the ground floor (30m²) and the first floor (32.5m²).

Tourists visit this wonderful area all year round, especially Lourdes, Pau and the Pyrénées, with visitors hoping to find cosy gîte and B&B accommodation where they can relax and unwind. In addition, you have your very own wellness and spa suite on site, which will delight your visitors throughout their stay!

Should you wish to accommodate larger groups, you can rent out both gîtes and all three B&B bedrooms to groups of up to 15 people. You might like to host activities and workshops for your clients, such as yoga retreats, cycling and walking tours, visits to cheesemakers and vineyards, cultural masterclasses, corporate team-building breaks... and when the weather’s perfect, the activities and workshops can take place outside in the beautiful grounds!

The property is close to the Chemin-de-St-Jacques-de-Compostelle pilgrim route (8km) and is on both the pan-European "Route d'Artagnan" bridleway and the GR782 hiking trail - so you are likely to have year-round demand for accommodation from walkers, pilgrims and horse-riders, along with their horses, who can stay in your very own stables! As well as offering delicious breakfasts, you could serve hearty suppers that your clients can enjoy as the sun sets over the Pyrénées...
