Mauléon-Barousse – 90 m² under the Carrez Law… but 217 m² of total floor area!

Don’t be put off by the 90 m² of living space: this property actually offers 217 m² of total floor area, with generous proportions, a converted outbuilding and numerous additional spaces.

In the heart of Mauléon-Barousse and facing due south, the house enjoys remarkable sunshine and mountain views from almost every room.
The approximately 30 m² living area, with an open-plan kitchen, benefits from high ceilings and opens onto the mezzanine. Exposed original beams add plenty of character to this bright space.

On the ground floor are two bedrooms. The first, filled with light thanks to its south- and west-facing aspects, has a wood-burning insert with warm-air distribution. It could easily be converted into a library, a separate sitting room or a relaxation area. The second has a shower, washbasin and WC.

Upstairs, the mezzanine offers 56 m² of floor space (31 m² under the Carrez Law), currently arranged as a large bedroom with a bathroom and a corner whirlpool bath. Its generous proportions also make it suitable for a home office, relaxation area or additional sleeping space.

Energy costs? Look beyond the D rating!
There’s no latest-generation heat pump here, installed just to secure an attractive energy rating! Instead, the owner, a former master craftsman, has opted for proven solutions: 30 cm of ceiling insulation, 20 cm on the internal walls, renovated and insulated wooden floors, double-glazed PVC windows and doors, a wood-burning stove and an insert.

The results speak for themselves: €478 in electricity costs from [unclear in source] for a house occupied year-round, plus just 4 to 5 stere of firewood each winter.
As for the outbuildings: a 30 m² garage, topped by a converted and insulated 23 m² space with a 5 m² balcony. At garden level, there is an 18 m² workshop with an old stone fireplace and a 16 m² cellar.

Outside, there is approximately 750 m² of garden, two large open-sided sheds for firewood, equipment or vehicles, and two separate access points to the property.

Here, you can experience the Barousse on foot: village restaurants and services are just minutes away, as are La Bélinoise, a grocery shop and a bakery whose takeover is currently under negotiation. The river, Maison des Sources and hiking trailheads are also easily accessible without a car.
Character, generous proportions, numerous additional spaces, low running costs and mountains as part of everyday life.
