This stylish holiday villa is classed as "maison de Maitre" .-one level below "Chateau" .It was built more than 2 centuries ago, as a replacement for the original Chateau de Miramont, whose origins date from the 13th century.
Over the years it has been upgraded and modernised without ever losing its character or charm. Today set in its landscaped gardens of mature ornamental and fruit trees, it stands out as a landmark site.
Sitting atop a small hill it simply dominates its surrounds.
From this vantage point you are afforded awesome panoramic views from every aspect.
From here you can see the Pyrenees mountains, the Madiran hills and the Bearn countryside. The whole estate is at the same time secluded and yet very much part of the village.
With over 300 sq.m.of living space it has generously proportioned rooms and lovely high ceilings.
Its massive outer stone walls means it enjoys a delightful ambient temperature at all times.
So you can have the very best of a Gascony summer without the need for artificial air conditioning.
There is a11x 6m heated seawater swimming pool, both private and secluded.

The Atlantic coast, with several beaches to choose from, is about 50 miles away - boasting the finest surfing in Europe. A little further afield you will find the Basque country - with its great cities of Bayonne, Biarritz and St. Jean de Luz. A different world, a different language - then up into the mountains of the Pyrenees, perhaps on the little train "Artouste" -the highest in all Europe or on to Col d'Ibardin to find unbelievably cheap wine, spirits, food and petrol .You can also take an excellent cheap lunch in one of its many restaurants, some with views so fabulous they would command a £ 20 cover charge any where else
We stayed as a party off 3 one of which was an older child. All electronic devices worked as stated (wi-fi, tv, sky etc). Directions from the home owner were excellent and we found the house with no real issues. There were a couple of minor issues as with all properties but a call to the owner and someone was there within an hour to repair the fault. Most of our time was spent in or by the lovely pool.
There are four reception rooms. -A vast farmhouse kitchen ,replete with refectory table and handwoven seated chairs
A classic dining room for 8 people graced with genuine antique Georgian furniture
A stylish salon furnished with 3 comfortable sofas and rare oriental rugs
and the study/television room with its sumptuous Chesterfield sofa, American armchairs and all tele-paraphernalia.
There are 4 bedrooms with fitted carpetting ,all with hotel standard beds and still with room enough for armchairs and tables.
There are 3 full bathrooms with continuous availability of hot water.
In the garden there are no fewer than 4 dining table arrangements, with their accompanying chairs and cushions, varying from marble through teak to the ubiquitous plastic.
There are 8 sunbeds by the pool.
All this for a couple and one teenager! The 'Comfort Rating' apparently based on the television room (a mere 25sq.mtrs) being considered 'cramped'
and the flowering Jasmine being over abundant.
