19th Century Gascon Farmhouse To Renovate in Hautes-Pyrénées

10 minutes from Maubourguet, in the peacefulness of a small village, this authentic 19th century Gascon farmhouse has retained all the charm of former rural estates. With its stone walls, old fireplaces, period staircase, inner courtyard, stables, attics, well and lands, it bears witness to a long agricultural past.

The house offers 196 sqm of living space to renovate, numerous outbuildings and a 5,798 sqm land parcel including an old vegetable garden, an orchard and a vast meadow.

A true character farm, ideal for lovers of old properties wanting to give new life to a family estate and imagine a project reflecting their vision: main or secondary residence, holiday cottages or shared and multigenerational housing.

Dating from the 1800s, this old Gascon farmhouse tells a story, that of family homes and agricultural properties of the past. It has maintained its traditional layout around the courtyard, its agricultural outbuildings and many old elements that give it true authenticity.

Access is through a wrought iron gate opening onto the courtyard, or from the north side, where a large porch connects the back of the house to the inner courtyard.

The front door opens to a 17 sqm hall with a beautiful period staircase, a witness to the generations who have lived there.

To the right, the 31 sqm living room benefits from dual exposure. A marble fireplace, currently non-functional, and a large custom wooden cupboard recall the charm of interiors of yesteryear.

To the left, the 30 sqm dining room also retains its character, with a fireplace fitted with an insert, a charming water feature overlooking the farm courtyard, and a large wooden cupboard.

Adjacent, the 22 sqm family kitchen awaits renovation to regain its central place in the heart of the house.

A corridor then leads to a shower room, separate toilets, and a large laundry room with water heater and an old shower to renovate.

To go upstairs, a beautiful cut stone at the foot of the staircase attests to the building's age. A first landing leads to the old grain attic, a remnant of the property's agricultural vocation.

On the right, a 25 sqm south-facing bedroom has preserved its solid wood flooring, cupboard, and old fireplace.

On the left, a second 30 sqm bedroom, benefiting from dual exposure, also has solid wood flooring and a marble fireplace. It connects to a third 10 sqm bedroom, which could become an office, dressing room, or shower room with toilet.

Continuing on, an old bedroom remains to be renovated. The old 40 sqm grain attic offers additional space to reinvent, while the large main attic of about 80 sqm, with a ridge height of 2.80 m, suggests other layout possibilities depending on your project.

Outside, the south-facing inner courtyard forms the heart of this old farm. A motor pump recalls the time when animals were kept here and each space had its function.

Walking under the porch, you will discover a first 66 sqm stable, topped by its old hay attic to renovate.

Next come a 17 sqm grain room, a second 62 sqm stable, the old pigsties with their chicken coop above, then a 43 sqm vehicle shelter.

A second porch leads to the old vegetable garden, where a well and several fruit trees remain. Beyond it, the vast meadow recalls the land that once accompanied farm life. It can accommodate some animals or lend itself to a vegetable growing project, according to your desires and operating conditions.

Finally, on the north side, a 38 sqm workshop and a 64 sqm shed complete this rural ensemble.

Technical aspects Built in stone and covered with tiles, the house needs renovation to regain today's comfort while preserving its character.

The woodwork is single-glazed with wooden shutters. Central heating is installed, but the old oil boiler and its tank are out of order.

A wood insert equips the dining room and hot water production is provided by an electric water heater.

Waste treatment is assured by a non-compliant septic tank.

This old Gascon farmhouse will appeal to those looking for more than just a house: an authentic living place, marked by its agricultural history, with its outbuildings, work spaces, courtyard, and lands. A great opportunity to preserve the soul of a rural property while giving it a new life, just 10 minutes from Maubourguet.
