About this property

Large house for 12 in the forest bordering a lake

Located on the shores of Lake Aureilhan, 9 kilometres from the beaches of Mimizan, the Darricau estate is an old Landes estate covering 50 hectares of wooded parkland, gardens and meadows. Around the manor house are old rural buildings that have been converted into modern, comfortable accommodation.

Completely renovated in 2024, this 200m² building consists of two independent apartments on two floors. Comfortable, modern and air-conditioned, their interior design is a blend of modern, 18th-century and Art Deco styles.
The accommodation
Ground floor accommodation (120 square metres) with a large covered terrace:
It features a large living/dining room/open-plan kitchen, as well as three bedrooms and two bathrooms (sleeps six). Two of the bedrooms, with large bay windows, offer views of the trees of a Landes-style ‘airial’ (open space), with a view of the old Darricau dovecote that Winston Churchill used to paint when he stayed in Mimizan with his friend the Duke of Westminster.

First floor accommodation (80m²):
This new and spacious accommodation stands out for its superb exposed beams. It features a fully equipped kitchen, a large living room with a dining area for six, two bedrooms, one with a double bed and two bunk beds, a bathroom and a separate toilet.
It offers a large furnished terrace where you can enjoy the peace and quiet of the forest with family or friends.
Numerous electric skylights provide ventilation and remarkable brightness.

Both apartments are air-conditioned (except bedrooms).
They are available to rent individually:
