Location:-
The property occupies a position that is genuinely difficult to replicate: set along a quiet lane of just seven houses, it enjoys uninterrupted 180-degree views across the valley to the Pyrenees, while remaining only ten minutes from the full range of amenities in Aire-sur-l’Adour. The nearest neighbour is approximately 150 metres away, offering privacy without isolation.
Aire-sur-l'Adour has developed significantly over recent years. New cinema complex opening soon, town centre pedestrianization in progress, planned swimming pool/fitness complex, Polyclinic (Small hospital), full medical services (doctors, dentists, and 3 pharmacies), Large Leclerc, Large Lidl, Action and a twice-weekly covered market. The town functions well above its size and you're not driving 45 minutes to go shopping or see a doctor. Beautiful Pau is 40 minutes, Mont-de-Marsan 35 minutes, Bordeaux 90 minutes. Low cost bus services are available to Pau, Mont de Marsan, Tarbes and Auch.
5 min drive from a free motorway section for main shopping runs.
The Property, Move-in Ready Character with Flexibility:-
225m² of living space across six bedrooms. Traditional farmhouse character: colombage walls, exposed beams, thick stone walls. Maintained, not tired. You can move in and live while you plan changes.
The layout allows for genuine flexibility: For example, potential for an independent upstairs apartment with separate entrance and kitchen. Space for southern-facing extension. Multiple configurations for home office, studio, guest quarters. The architecture adapts to different uses.
Heating & Internet
The previous gas heating & hot water system has been deliberately left for replacement rather than installing a new system that might not fit the needs of a new owner. This potentially positions the property for MaPrimeRénov' government grants (up to 90% coverage for eco-heating installations). The property holds a D-rating Dpe from September 2024. Provision exists in the dining room for wood/pellet stove.
12 photovoltaic panels generate approximately €1,000 annually. Solar thermal panels provide hot water May-September. Currently the house is heated with electric radiators.
Internet:
Being remote workers, we use a standard unlimited mobile connection (€20/month) that supports our heavy use needs including Zoom/Meet. Fibre optic at the boundary, ready to connect.
The Land:-
Nearly six acres of virgin, chemical-free land. Previously organic certified by former owners. Mix of maintained lawn and natural meadow. Suitable use for extensive vegetable gardens, animals (previously horses with ample room for other livestock), or self-sufficiency projects. Large fenced dog pen installed.
Outbuildings:
Two traditional structures (234m² and 200m²). In this Oz protected zone where new construction is prohibited, these existing footprints represent a rare planning potential if so desired. Development is entirely optional and whilst we chose not to pursue it, the asset exists.
Suitability:-
Remote workers: Proven home-working environment with reliable options of connectivity.
Families: Safe location, local schools, outdoor space, internal flexibility.
Self-sufficiency seekers: Productive land, room for animals, outbuilding potential.
Those relocating from cities: Rural setting with genuine proximity to ample local services.
Potential gîte/chambres d'hôtes operation subject to planning.
