About this property

Charming gîte for 2 or 4 in the forest beside the lake, 8km from the ocean

This 65m2 former traditional Landes terraced house, renovated into a comfortable gîte, will welcome you to its exceptional, typically Landes setting and immerse you in the soothing, woodland atmosphere of the private grounds of a two-hundred-year-old manor house (classified Natura 2000). The proximity of the lake and beaches (8 km, accessible by road and cycle path) will allow you to enjoy many sunny days.

Ideal for a couple, two extra people can sleep in the sofa bed. The house has been decorated by your hosts Emmanuelle, who will welcome you, and Jean-Marie, an antique dealer, who has decorated the gîte with his own collection.

For a romantic stay, in the very heart of a forest estate, the two terraces to the east and west will allow you to enjoy the forest on one side, and the Darricau lane and its dovecote that Sir Winston Churchill came to paint.

Amenities include a kitchen opening onto a dining room, a bedroom with a double bed (140x190), a lounge with access to the terrace facing the forest, a shower room with a walk-in shower and separate WC.
The accommodation is equipped with a television, WIFI, washing machine, dishwasher and multifunction microwave oven.

Shaded parking for all types of vehicles.
The house is close to cycle paths and a family equestrian centre (at the entrance to the estate). Various water sports are also available at the lake.

There is a bakery in the village of Aureilhan, and the town of Mimizan, just 3 km away, has all the shops you need, including a hypermarket, restaurants and bars, food shops, a health centre, etc.

You'll be delighted by the comfort of the house and the beauty of the surroundings, for a relaxing, peaceful stay.

Please note that the property is guarded and hunting is therefore prohibited. You may prefer to observe or photograph our beloved wildlife: roe deer, foxes, squirrels, wild boar, pheasants, owls, spotted dogfish, woodpeckers, etc.

Pets are welcome.

If required, we have 4 other gîtes for 6 to 12 people. Look on the map for the nearest gîtes.
