Bardos – Basque Farmhouse 25 Minutes from the Coast

Property Description

Magnificent Basque farmhouse set at the end of a small country lane, in an elevated position, enjoying stunning 360° panoramic views. Offering absolute peace and privacy, the property sits harmoniously within 5 hectares of meadows, orchards, and woodland, while remaining within easy reach of its village and just 25 minutes from the Basque Coast.

The property comprises two independent dwellings offering 240 m² and 282 m² of living space. In 2003, the south-west wing of the property underwent a contemporary extension, carried out with great sensitivity, blending seamlessly with the traditional Basque architecture while flooding the interior spaces with natural light. A complete renovation, including a new roof, updated electrical and plumbing systems, as well as double glazing, created a comfortable four-bedroom family home featuring 120 m² of living space, a central fireplace, and direct access to the covered terrace and swimming pool.

The south-east wing features a remarkable 97 m² reception room, enhanced by an impressive period stone fireplace, opening onto the former cider press, a second sitting room, and a kitchen. Two spacious suites, along with a study, complete this exceptional dual-residence property.

The estate also offers excellent development potential, whether for a hospitality business or agricultural use. Its orchard of approximately 300 apple trees, comprising seven local varieties, produces nearly 10 tonnes of fruit each year (around 6,500 litres), presenting an attractive commercial opportunity.
