Dominating the lands of Espelette, where the landscape rises and silence prevails, this character-filled residence built in 1750 stands out for its stature and authenticity. Spanning approximately 300 m² of living space, the building has undergone a masterly renovation by its current owner—a metamorphosis that preserved the strength of the original architecture while creating expansive living areas.

The property’s location is a rare privilege, offering a constant dialogue with the elements. Nestled at the foot of the Mondarrain, whose rocky cliffs and wild slopes create a protective sanctuary, the house overlooks the village heights. Yet, the view does not stop there: it stretches westward, embracing the rolling green hills of the Basque Country until it meets the azure line of the Atlantic Ocean on the horizon.

Inside, the renovation prioritized space and a variety of living environments. The ten rooms, including six bedrooms, offer a rare flexibility for any future vision. The vast reception areas retain their period materials, enhanced by understated finishes that allow the ever-changing natural landscape behind every window to take center stage. Adjacent to the house, a 130 m² stable offers remarkable development potential, inviting the creation of new reception or wellness areas.

The gently sloping grounds host a swimming pool, seamlessly integrated into its mineral surroundings. A pool house, designed as a true extension of the home, invites you to enjoy the serenity, from the morning’s freshness to the golden lights of dusk. This singular property is dedicated to aesthetes seeking a historic refuge at the crossroads of mountain ridges and the Atlantic breeze.
