Bayonne, Aquitaine 64100

Nestled in the rolling green hills, just 30 minutes from the Basque coast and around 40 minutes from Biarritz and its international airport, this former Basque farmhouse dating back to 1725 has been completely reimagined by an architect into a one-of-a-kind property, where original character meets refined, contemporary living. Every detail tells a story. The eco-conscious, high-end renovation preserved noble, natural materials, generous volumes and light, earning national press acclaim : Elle Décoration, Arts & Décoration, Le Magazine du Sud-Ouest and a feature on France 5's M comme Maison. The property offers four exceptional suites, each inspired by a far-flung destination, Japan, Costa Rica, Sardinia, Greece and hides a remarkable secret: a concealed suite behind a hidden bookcase door. In a signature architectural touch, the farmhouse's original windows have been transformed into glazed partitions for the bathrooms. Accommodation capacity is outstanding: alongside the suites, an independent gîte with dormitory and private suite, a private apartment, an additional loft-style suite, and two fully convertible rooms, lounge, gym, artist's studio or extra bedrooms to suit your plans. Outside, an idyllic setting: swimming pool, terraces, extensive landscaped gardens and a permaculture vegetable garden, opening onto the Basque hills, less than an hour from the Atlantic beaches. Ideal as a prestigious main or second home, a family estate, or a turnkey guesthouse / high-yield seasonal rental business. A rare opportunity in a sought-after location.
