AB Real Estate
This lost in paradise property is nestling in the foothills of the Pyrenees for lovers of nature and was built in the late 18th century. Extensively renovated and modernized with a strong idea of environmental respect, this stunning country complex is located on the edge of a charming village and a five minute drive from an active town with all amenities and a lively programme of cultural events throughout the year. 45 minutes to skiing or beach and close to the Spanish border. Recent renovation has been completed to high standards with honest materials and ecological features such as terra cotta tiles, stone and iron staircases, lime paint, solar panels, a Hammam, a natural swimming pool and eco toilets. The property has huge potential and lends itself to being run as a business whilst being equally very suitable as a permanent home for a large family receiving guests and family. Equipped kitchens and quality furnishings are included.
