Just minutes from the sandy beaches of Saint-Jean-de-Luz and the Spanish border, this extraordinary estate is nestled in a tranquil, elevated setting overlooking the Basque mountains. Designed in the 1970s by visionary architect Le Rosier, it artfully blends Andalusian hacienda inspiration, Basque heritage, and refined Art Deco accents.
Set on a lush, landscaped plot of 2,426 m2 with building and pool potential, the property enjoys an exceptional panoramic view of La Rhune, the iconic peak of the Basque Country.
It comprises two independent residences — the main house “El Manantial” and the guest house “Sol Ysombra” — gracefully connected by a charming covered summer kitchen. The configuration is perfect for a family home, guest accommodation, or multi-generational living with more 255 m2 of living
Elegant Architecture & vibrant
From the moment you arrive, the atmosphere is striking: A palm-lined driveway, mature gardens, sun-soaked terraces, and generous living spaces opening seamlessly to the outdoors. The heart of the main house is a stunning cathedral-ceiling living room with a monumental stone fireplace and large mezzanine, bathed in natural light and offering numerous design possibilities — from library to office or additional bedroom.
The main house “El Manantial” offers:about 183 m2 with :
- A living and dining room of 37.5 m2
- A welcoming 16.5 m2 family-style kitchen, opening onto a covered outdoor space with a summer kitchen
- Four ground-floor bedrooms, including one with a shaded patio: 9 m2 / 10.3 m2 / 12.2 m2 / 13.8 m2
- A large bathroom (bathtub, shower, WC), an additional shower room, and a guest WC
- On the upper level: One bedroom of 13 m2 with spectacular views of La Rhune and an en-suite shower room, a landing/hallway of 17 m2, and a 25 m2 mezzanine
- A full basement including a large garage, workshop, laundry room, wine cellar, and storage rooms
- Two convertible attics offering further development potential
The guest house “Sol Ysombra” (independent, perfect as a guest home or holiday rental) with about 72 m2 with :
- A 29 m2 living room with open kitchen
- Three bedrooms: 9.8 m2 / 9.4 m2 / 14 m2

- A terrace facing the mountains
- A sheltered patio, perfect for quiet reading or leisurely summer siestas
A Rare and Inspiring Place to Live
The beautifully landscaped garden includes a remarkable array of Mediterranean and exotic species — fig trees, oaks, hydrangeas, citrus, tulip trees, palms, yuccas... Multiple outdoor living areas (sun decks, panoramic terraces, patios, and summer kitchen) create a true indoor-outdoor lifestyle, ideal for entertaining or simply enjoying the tranquility.
