Prestige Estate near Pau : A fusion of Béarnese heritage and architectural daring

On the edge of the Nay plain, in the charming village of Angais, lies this hidden 19th-century estate. Set within a walled 2,700 sqm domain, this property offers 350 sqm of living space, boldly blending Béarnese authenticity with a resolutely modern architectural design.

A suspended glass bridge—a true aerial link—connects the master residence to a reinvented outbuilding, creating a singular living space where historic character meets a contemporary loft spirit.

The majestic entrance, featuring a carved wooden staircase, leads to generously proportioned reception rooms. The living and dining rooms, each boasting a period fireplace, reveal exposed stone walls and noble materials. The open-plan kitchen opens onto a west-facing terrace, perfect for enjoying sunsets. The upper floor offers a light-filled primary suite with orange brick accents, as well as a vast independent space beneath a monumental timber frame, providing absolute serenity.

At garden level, a brand-new 65 sqm apartment with an exotic wood terrace allows for hosting family or a rental project in total privacy. The landscaped park, complete with an orchard and a vegetable garden, also houses a 240 sqm barn with exceptional potential for further development.

In a rare feat for a historic home of this scale, the property boasts remarkable energy performance thanks to a brand-new heat pump and meticulous insulation. Just 15 minutes from Pau, this bucolic refuge—including 1,000 sqm of buildable land—is an invitation to creativity and the gentle Béarnese way of life.
