Maison Blanc, the name given to this south facing stone farmhouse, has a spacious 165m2 living space. This rustic, 5 bedroom farmhouse which dates from 1758, has been restored and equipped with all modern amenities. Situated in the sunny south west of France, this house is situted near the excellent local facilities in the nearby town of Hagetmau, a 15mins drive away, or the much larger Orthez, 20 mins away. The farmhouse faces accross the courtyard a 133m2 barn, complete with planning permission to renonvate into a 2 storey, 3 bedroom gîte or second home, accommodating upto 6 people, thus providing a great development opportunity in South West France. This farmhouse is tastefully renovated throughout, restoring many of the house's original features with wooden beams and ceramic tile floors.

	Tucked away amongst tranquil green rolling hills and countryside, this well presented traditional detached stone farmhouse sits in just under 1 and a half hectares of its own land, fields and woods. The house is on a quiet country lane, in a small hamlet, near the village of Bassercles on the border of the Pyrénées Atlantiques (64) and the Landes (40) departments.  The current plans for the barn development provide for a large open plan living area with access to the gardens, an open plan kitchen, ground floor study or possibly a bedroom, a large wet-room. On the first floor 2 further bedrooms. There is private parking within the grounds for many cars without taking away much of the generous garden.
On the Ground floor, you enter via the front door into a large open plan lounge-dining room (40 m2) which leads into to a fully equipped kitchen at the side of the main house. To the rear of the ground floor there is an office, a bathroom, toilet and spacious bedroom. On the first floor, accessed by the original wooden staircase, there are 4 bedrooms, 2 of which are situated at the front with views of the Pyrenees with 2 at the rear, retaining some original features of exposed stone walls and wooden beams.  This house is a project for further development, as some external and internal work will be required.
	The house is close to the village of Bassercles, which offers some of the most spectacular views of the Pyrenees range. The farmhouse is an excellent base location in the south west of France. The Atlantic ocean beaches, Biarritz and  Europe's largest forest are all accessible over an hours drive away. The mountains, Lourdes and Spain, just an hour and a half away, with Pau only 30 minutes away.  Biarritz and Pau airports both offer low cost flights to the UK via RYANAIR. You can also have access to a lot of activities nearby (golf course, swimming pool, lake, horse riding, spa, etc...) Alternatively, there is plenty for you to discover close to hand, should you wish to explore the history and the culture of this region. The Béarne and the French Basque regions are internationally recognised for their wines, gastrononmy and local markets, so there are plenty of opportunities, for you to indulge in the experience that these regions have to offer.
