About this property
18th C House, Own Pool, Mountain, River Views, peaceful and private.
The house is situated on the edge of the Basque Country, in the foot hills of the Pyrenees. The country side is green and rolling with the mountains as a back drop. Climate is very mild all year around, sunny and hot in the summer. Gestas is a tiny hamlet very quiet and private near the wonderful Gave des saisons, a mountain river well known for salmon and trout fishing; you can swim in the river during the summer. The house seats in a Mature garden and hedges insure maximum privacy. Original features have been kept, they include a large stone fireplace, beautiful 17th century staircase and lovely original wooden floors. Bathrooms and kitchen have been build in the extension to the house therefore not upsetting the original character of the property. A wisteria covered pergola at the back of the house Leeds towards the swimming pool and the garden. It has garden and pool furniture, a dining table and chairs and a BBQ. The Medieval towns of Sauveterre and Salies de Bearn are on the door step. Enjoy lovely walks in the Basque country with its fantastic scenery, or try a section of the Camino de Santiago. Trips to the seaside (Saint jean de Luz, Biarritz 55mn) and mountain (Pau, Lourdes 1Hr) as well as a visit to the Guggenheim museum in Bilbao are highly recommended. Rafting in the summer, skiing in the winter 65mn) .
The house awaits you. You will have a lovely and serene time.

I am an interior designer and product design consultant. I have lived in London for a great many years. I purchase the house in 1990 and used it for a long while as my summer place.
