Pau, Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France: €749,000

Beneath the jagged peaks of the Pyrénées, the Vallée d’Ossau carries the sound of mountain streams down through pine forests and pasture, its snow-capped summits visible from almost everywhere in the valley—a landscape built for quiet mornings and long hikes.

This 17th-century estate combines a five-bedroom stone manor house with an adjoining five-bedroom gîte, together offering around 4,750 square feet of living space across ten bedrooms. The manor house holds a sitting room with a wood-burning stove, a kitchen/dining room, and bedrooms spread over three floors, including a mezzanine study. Next door, the gîte centers on an open-plan reception room and covered terrace, with five en suite bedrooms upstairs. Outside, two acres of woodland grounds enclose a swimming pool, boules piste, two spring-fed ponds, and two further barns.

The valley’s ski resorts are 30 to 40 minutes away, while the Atlantic beaches of Biarritz and St-Jean-de-Luz are around 90 minutes. Pau, with shops, schools, and its international airport, is around 25 to 30 minutes by road.
