Single-storey villa with large plot – Arbas (31160) – An exceptional lifestyle in the heart of the Pyrenees At the end of a quiet, tree-lined cul-de-sac, just a short walk from Arbas town centre, this single-storey villa built in 1990 offers far more than just a house: a genuine way of life, surrounded by unspoilt nature, a stream below, and forest within reach. South-facing, 1,100 m² plot, and rare potential for personalisation on the market — this is an opportunity worth seizing. The spaces The house centres around a bright, spacious living area of 36 m², with an open-plan kitchen leading directly onto a south-facing covered terrace — perfect for aperitifs overlooking the garden from the first warm days. The property offers 4 bedrooms: 2 bedrooms accessible from inside the house (9.57 m² and 11.33 m²) 2 bedrooms currently accessible via the adjoining garage (11.17 m² and 9.85 m²) These last two represent the property's strategic advantage: with a few simple partition works and the creation of an internal access, you obtain a perfectly fluid and optimised layout. This is exactly the type of configuration that allows a buyer to personalise their interior according to their needs — master suite with dressing room? Independent studio for a teenager or visiting family? Home office? The options are numerous, and the added value is genuine. The house also includes: 1 shower room and 1 bathroom 2 separate WCs The outbuildings – A real asset Adjoining garage of 52 m²: rare in this area, it comfortably accommodates 2 vehicles, your mountain bikes, and all equipment related to mountain living. You will also find a separate garage for one vehicle. Equipment Oil-fired central heating (grants for replacement may apply) Points to note A building survey revealed the need for structural works, estimated at approximately €50,000. The asking price already factors in this parameter: these works will remain the responsibility of the buyer. The environment – What truly makes the difference What sets this property apart is its authentic and vibrant natural setting. A stream flows below the property — a soothing background sound, particularly pleasant in summer. The Arbas state forest, in immediate proximity, is an exceptional playground: the massif is full of treasures — streams, majestic beech forests, peatlands, caves, and remarkable wildlife. From your future garden, you are just minutes on foot or by bike from numerous marked hiking trails through the heart of Arbas forest, following traces of ancient industrial activity and a Pyrenean foothills landscape with both open and shaded passages. Speleology enthusiasts will also appreciate the proximity of the Grotte des Commingeois and Cascade de Planque, two popular natural sites. Arbas is located 28 km south-east of Saint-Gaudens, at the foot of the Pyrenees, in the Arbas massif — close enough to access all amenities (shops, doctors, secondary schools), yet preserved enough to enjoy an unparalleled quality of life. *My agent's view* This house is made for those who can see beyond its current condition. The volumes are generous, the plot is flat and usable, and the environment is one you don't easily find anymore. With a controlled works budget — already factored into the price — you obtain a personalised villa in an exceptional natural setting, in absolute peace and quiet.
