Summary
• Currently being renovated for a June completion date. This is on-track, however, the garden will need time to 'bed' as it's taken a hammering from installing the pool. As such, whilst the pool and house will be ready in June, the owner has decided to delay the opening date for rentals until mid July. This will allow time for the grass to grow back.

• The original building dates back a century or so, the renovation will totally modernise the property so that it will be a thoroughly contemporary property with all 'mod cons'.

• 7 double bedrooms with an extra play room for children which can double up as an additional bedroom

Update on Renovations
> May 6, 2008 - still fully committed to finishing by June 1st. Just waiting for some finishing touches before a new batch of photos will be available. Pool photos will take a little longer. The building of the pool has taken its toll on the back garden which will need time to recover

> Mar 6, 2008 - latest update from the owner: "The renovating is coming on really well and we are well ahead of schedule. I expect now to be finished by mid may latest"

> Nov 27, 2007 - we first visited the property when renovations were well under way but the property was little more than a shell

Location
Near to the village of Pey, near to the River Adour. Hossegor is 20kms and St Vincent de Tyrosse 10kms is the nearest town of size.

All shopping would have to be done in St. Vincent de Tyrosse - 7 mins by car. The owner can though arrange for a mobile boulanger to stop at the house on a daily basis during the holidays.

About the Owners
Alternative Aquitaine knows the owner. He's an ex-investment banker from the City of London who has settled in the Hossegor area of south west France. He is re-building the farmhouse to provide a high quality rental (what the owner describes as "4 star standard" and what we would say is "Higher Quality" using our comfort guide) which provides the amenities and equipment which he feels is lacking whenever he goes in holiday with his family! His type of holiday is upper-end self-catering with friends, family, nanny, etc in tow.

Photographs
The only pictures we have are of the renovations - we can provide these to anyone interested in this property.

You can see floorplans for the ground floor and first floor.

What is helpful is to look at two other local holiday properties we rent which provide a good 'style template' for the Pey farmhouse.
