This charming log house, currently used as a holiday home, could serve equally well as a family residence or chambres d’hôtes. Three bedrooms are within the main part of the house, while a further three en-suite bedrooms are accessed from the poolside terrace.
However you choose to use it, the views and mountain setting are sure to appeal, alongside the convenience of having the services and amenities of Lannemezan and the A64 motorway just 15 minutes away.
A second-floor balcony, a first-floor terrace wrapping around three sides and a spacious ground-floor poolside terrace offer plenty of places to relax and enjoy the scenery.
The generous, open-plan living area is ideal for entertaining family and guests, with the substantial exposed logs creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
Hèches, with its restaurant, bakery, post office and primary school, is just seven minutes away, while the ski lifts at Saint-Lary-Soulan are 30 minutes up the valley.

Situated near the entrance to the magnificent Vallée d’Aure, in the heart of the Pyrenees, this six-bedroom log house offers several possibilities. Currently used as a holiday home, its setting and layout would also lend themselves to a rural family home or a chambres d’hôtes business.

The House

The main living accommodation is on the first floor, reached by an external staircase from the garden. The entrance opens into a small reception area, separated from the kitchen by a breakfast bar.

The kitchen (3.4 m × 2.9 m) offers plenty of worktop and storage space, a four-ring gas hob with an extractor hood and a large fridge-freezer.

Three sets of French doors fill the living/dining room (6.2 m × 6.2 m) with natural light and offer views of the surrounding mountains. There is ample space for a large dining table and a comfortable seating area in which to relax after a day exploring the valley and mountains.

There is also a convenient WC on this floor.

A rustic staircase leads to the second-floor hallway, which serves three bedrooms set beneath the eaves.

- Bedroom 1 (6.4 m × 2.6 m)
- Bedroom 2 (4.1 m × 2.7 m)
- Bedroom 3 (6.4 m × 2.7 m)

These bedrooms have sloping ceilings, so the stated room dimensions include areas with reduced headroom and should not be taken as measurements of habitable floor area.

Bedroom 1 has a balcony (6.45 m × 1.45 m) with views towards the Signal de Bassia peak on the opposite side of the valley.

A large family bathroom (4.1 m × 2.7 m) has double basins and a heated towel rail.

The other three bedrooms, each measuring 4.2 m × 2.8 m, are on the ground floor and accessed from the poolside terrace. Each has its own entrance and an en-suite shower room with WC (2.75 m × 1.5 m), giving guests, visitors or extended family their own private space.

An external staircase leads down to a lower section of the garden and the lowest level of the property, where a large garage (8.6 m × 6.1 m) provides ample room for storage and a variety of uses.


Outdoor Spaces

A first-floor terrace wraps around three sides of the house, offering a choice of places to sit and enjoy the views. A staircase leads down to the garden and the larger poolside terrace, where an oval swimming pool (5.7 m × 3.85 m, depth 1.5 m) provides a welcome place to cool off on hot days. The pool has a sturdy retractable cover, and an outdoor shower is conveniently positioned nearby.

The garden combines lawns with a variety of shrubs, plants and trees. Natural rock outcrops towards the rear and side add interest to the setting.

Beyond the garden, a hillside pasture belonging to the property extends uphill towards the forest behind the house.

**Local amenities and transport**

Hèches village, approximately 4 km away (seven minutes by car), has a primary school, a bakery, a restaurant and a post office, providing convenient services close to home.

Lannemezan, around 16–18 km away (15–20 minutes), offers a wider range of supermarkets, independent shops, restaurants, schools and healthcare services, including a hospital. Its railway station provides connections towards Toulouse, Tarbes and Pau, while junction 16 of the A64 motorway is approximately 15 minutes away, giving access towards Toulouse and the Atlantic coast.

**Skiing and winter sports**

The property is well placed for exploring several ski areas. The village lifts at Saint-Lary-Soulan are approximately 28–30 km away (30 minutes), providing access to the ski slopes without driving up the mountain road. Loudenvielle and the Skyvall gondola serving Peyragudes are around 30–33 km away (35–40 minutes). Val Louron is approximately 40 km away (45–50 minutes), while Piau-Engaly is around 50 km away (55–65 minutes).

**Walking and hiking**

The surrounding countryside and nearby Baronnies offer woodland walks, hillside paths and longer mountain hikes. The Signal de Bassia and the Col de Beyrède area provide rewarding walking with panoramic views, while the Aure and Louron valleys offer access to a broad choice of mountain routes. For a gentler outing, the lake at Génos-Loudenvielle, approximately 35–40 minutes away, is ideal for a waterside stroll.

**Road cycling and mountain biking**

Road cyclists can explore the quieter lanes of the Baronnies or tackle famous Pyrenean climbs, including the Col d’Aspin, the Col de Peyresourde and the Col de Val Louron-Azet. Arreau, approximately 18–20 km away (20–25 minutes), is a convenient starting point for rides into both valleys.

Mountain bikers have a choice of woodland tracks and routes in the surrounding hills, with further riding in the Louron Valley. Loudenvielle, around 35–40 minutes away, provides access to the Louron Bike & Trail network and the Skyvall gondola for lift-assisted riding during its operating periods.
