17th-Century Historic Property in an Exceptional Setting on the Banks of the Adour

Property Description

This 1620 manor house, facing southeast, stands alone on its towpath, offering exceptional panoramic views of the Adour River and the Saubusse bridge. For 400 years, it has exuded an enduring charm. Three facades open onto this unique vista. It will appeal to those who appreciate heritage, absolute tranquility, and outdoor activities (fishing, hunting, Basque pelota, water sports, horseback riding, cycling).

The house offers 397 m² of living space: 7 rooms (3 large living rooms, 4 bedrooms, a fitted kitchen, 2 bathrooms, 2 toilets), space for a second kitchen, a workshop that could be converted, a garage, a cellar, and a large attic that could be converted. It retains all its original character: Bidache stone walls, lime plaster, 2 fireplaces, terracotta roof tiles, and wooden joinery. Its preserved 1.4-hectare estate (meadows and woods), bordered by a stream, is located within a Natura 2000 zone. Its intimate and bucolic setting will never be altered.

Expansion & Renovation Potential
The Local Urban Development Plan (PLUI) allows for an extension of up to 30% of the floor area. Renovation work will be required to bring the property up to 21st-century standards. Thanks to the available space and building rights, numerous projects are possible (family home, bed and breakfast, gîtes). Recent quotes using traditional materials and expertise are available. Significant heritage value: potential for subsidies and tax benefits (Historic Monuments or Heritage Foundation), subject to eligibility.
