Residence for sale - Saint-Palais VBC44810

Lloyd&Davis presents a rare estate, around an emblematic castle in Lower Navarre, listed as a historical monument in 1996 and whose origins date back to the fourteenth century. Surrounded by a church, a fourteenth century dovecote, old stables, outbuildings on about 350m², this set in a neat park is a delight for the eyes. It was also one of the popular holiday resorts of a distinguished guest, Odilon Redon. The property, crossed by a river, surrounded by green hills is a real bucolic haven of peace on nearly 3 hectares. Redwoods, magnolias, cedars and century-old palm trees make up a magnificent landscape. The charming details of the countryside, low walls and small stone bridges, ironwork embellish this place steeped in history. You will also appreciate its location, a few kilometers from a very lively city of the inland Basque country, on the way to Santiago, 50 minutes from the coast, the airports of Biarritz and Pau and less than two hours from the ski slopes, The castle has developed around a stately fortified house. This was followed by extensions and enhancements in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, giving it a proud appearance. The interior was redesigned in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The renovation undertaken in 2008 has restored the estate to its splendour. Many original features, bringing a lot of character, mullioned windows, woodwork, parquet floors, fireplaces, moldings have been preserved.
