Architect designed house with garage and views

An Architect’s Love Letter to the Pyrenees

Designed in 2010 by its architect owner for his own enjoyment (and it shows), this impeccably stylish single-storey home delivers modern living with a front-row seat to one of the most spectacular panoramas in the Pyrenees. Frankly, once you see the view, you may question the need for television altogether.

Set discreetly behind electric gates in beautifully established gardens, the property enjoys multiple sun-soaked terraces, all orientated towards the mountains—perfect for morning coffee, evening apéritifs, or simply staring wistfully into the distance.

At the heart of the home is a bright, light-filled open-plan living space, enhanced by a dramatic wall of glass framing the ever-changing mountain scenery. The modern fitted kitchen comes fully equipped with integrated appliances and opens conveniently onto a garage/utility room, blending style with everyday practicality.

The house offers two generous bedroom suites, each with its own bathroom and dressing room—designed with comfort, privacy, and effortless living in mind. Throughout, the emphasis is on intelligent design, insulation, and energy efficiency, resulting in an excellent A energy rating. Features include heat-pump heating, solar panels, double glazing, and superb insulation—making this a home that is as economical as it is elegant.

The gardens are charming, private, and easy to maintain, with additional storage provided by a garden shed and garaging for one car. The setting is peaceful and residential, yet far from isolated.

Located in the sleepy and highly sought-after village of Arbon (at 600m altitude), the property is just five minutes from the lively market town of Aspet, offering excellent local amenities. Toulouse is only 1 hour 15 minutes away, Spain is within 45 minutes, and the ski station at Le Mourtis is just 30 minutes—this location truly has it all.

Immaculately presented and ready to move into, this is one of those rare properties where all that’s left to do is unpack… and admire the view. Repeatedly.
