Laurent VAGINAY, OptimHome and Kévin LAUSSU, historian of architecture Malaye ! Patrimoines, present this authentic country property and its park located between Dax and the Ocean in the Landes.

In the heart of an authentic airial of more than 6000m² stands this traditional Landes house with half-timbering of over 170m2 and its guest house of more than 30m2. It was already on the Napoleonic land register of 1806. Although it is not mentioned on the Cassini map (1766-1793), its age seems established for earlier periods (certainly the end of the 18th century). This dating could be corroborated by the presence of wrought iron bars sealed in the window frames, whose "thorn" profile is typical of rural character homes from that period.

Looking to the West, the square-plan house features a symmetrical tripartite façade. Centered in the axis, the entrance is flanked by small windows. This arrangement can be found in the architecture of several notable houses in the region.

This dwelling exhibits some interesting ornamental specificities for the locality. First, the materials composing the main façade are mixed. The ground floor is made of brick while the upper floor is in wattle and daub. The presence of the bricks arranged in a herringbone and chevron pattern marks an undeniable ornamental concern that distinguishes this farm from other surrounding rural constructions, primarily in wattle and daub. This aesthetic care is reflected in the decoration of the braces, whose scalloped motif is echoed beneath the lintel of the door.

All these elements testify to the charm of this house and the standing of the owners who occupied it.

Inside, the dwelling is divided into three bays: a central living room, a dining room on one side opening onto the kitchen, and a living room opening on the other side onto a bedroom and an adjoining shower room. The upper floor includes a spacious living room and two bedrooms with a bathroom.

Of the four wooden outbuildings that existed in 1806, only one barn remains today. The area once occupied by one of these buildings has been reused to build a small cabin in the Landes spirit entirely constructed from old wooden parts assembled traditionally.

Open to the edge of the pines, the park of the airial is surrounded by fields. It is planted with conifers, century-old oaks, and mimosas.

The entire house has been restored four times in the 1990s and more recently with great care while ensuring the authenticity of the place is preserved. Keeping the original layout, this renovation has helped consolidate the wattle and the terracotta tiles. It has highlighted this notable element of local heritage.
