About this place

Set in a picturesque Pyrénéan valley, this delightful 2-bedroom cottage offers a perfect escape from the everyday. The property features an open-plan living space on the ground floor with approximately 45m², comprising a sitting room and fitted kitchen. A ground floor bedroom boasts lovely river views and is accompanied by a shower room with WC.

The first floor includes a mezzanine level with a second bedroom and a small sitting area, though with restricted head height. The lower ground floor provides around 45m² of versatile space currently used for storage but has the potential to be converted into another bedroom or living area, subject to permissions.

Outside, the manageable garden features sunny terraces, a separate summerhouse/chalet of about 20m² complete with a jacuzzi, barbecue area and summer kitchen. There’s parking available for two vehicles and a grassy seating area, perfect for relaxation amidst stunning surroundings.

Lurbe-Saint-Christau is a quiet hamlet, providing incredible opportunities for outdoor activities like wild swimming, skiing, hiking, and mountain biking, while being conveniently close to amenities (7km to a supermarket and 10km to Oloron-Sainte-Marie). The famous Camino de Santiago is a nearby attraction, and Biarritz on the Atlantic coast can be reached in about 90 minutes. The region is beautifully tranquil, offering a serene lifestyle in nature but not far from essential services and transport links.

Buying property in France

Full guide →

France places no restrictions on foreign property ownership. The notaire (a public official, not a lawyer for either side) handles the conveyance and is paid by the buyer. A French bank account is strongly recommended for completion funds and ongoing charges.

  • No residency requirement to buy.

  • Non-resident mortgages available from French banks, typically 70–80% LTV with stricter affordability checks.

France abolished taxe d'habitation on primary residences (2023) but it still applies to second homes — and many communes now apply a surcharge of up to 60% on second homes in high-demand zones.

General guidance only — confirm specifics with a qualified local lawyer or tax adviser. Reference
