ASCAIN, Aquitaine 64310

La Rhune watches over this house as it has always watched over the whole village. Here, there is no anonymous façade: brown half-timbering, shutters patinated by the seasons, and a gently sloping garden planted with palm trees that almost give a Mediterranean air to this corner of Labourd. We are in Ascain, but Saint-Jean-de-Luz and its beaches are only 15 minutes away, Spain 20 minutes away. The real luxury is revealed upstairs: a balcony under a solid wood framework, open to the mountain and the tiled roofs that descend to the village. You set up a hammock, you have coffee, you watch the time go by in a different way. Downstairs, a wooden terrace extends the living room towards the garden, where summer meals are organised without thinking. Inside, the exposed beams and terracotta tiles tell the story of a house that has not denied its time of construction, while having been brought up to date. The living room, through and largely glazed, captures the light from morning to evening and keeps an eye on the garden at all times. Four bedrooms spread over three levels allow a family to spread out without stepping on each other, or to organize a real reception area. And then there is what few houses offer: two independent T2s, already in operation as seasonal rentals. Not a theoretical potential, an income that already exists, in an area where tourist demand is not weakening. This makes this purchase a living residence as much as an investment that works for you. Ascain is not a fixed postcard setting: pediment, shops, neighborhood restaurants, the village lives, all year round, while remaining a breath away from Ciboure and Biarritz. An address that ticks the boxes without ever looking like the others. Anthony MARTINEZ (EI) Commercial Agent - RSAC number: 933 029 332 - BAYONNE.
