A bungalow villa with an 800m² tree-dotted garden, just 400 metres
from a beach, nestled by Arcachon Bay on France’s Atlantic Coast
Andernos-les-Bains, GIRONDE aquitaine 33510 FR

Location

The property is tucked away in an ocean-facing town that draws holidaymakers on the north-east side of France’s stunning Arcachon Bay, nestled in the beautiful pine-covered Landes de Gascogne natural area of south-west France. It lies in France’s Gironde department, in the country’s Nouvelle-Aquitaine region. It is 40 kilometres from Bordeaux, 30 minutes from the Cap Ferret headland by car, and 50 minutes from the town of Arcachon by car or ferry. The small town combines architectural authenticity with a well-preserved natural backdrop and events all year round. There is an oceanic climate here. Four rivers flow through the town into Arcachon Bay. The house is located in a calm, residential area, just a few minutes from the nearest beaches.

Description

It offers a 110m² floor area. The dwelling was built in 1974 and has been renovated in recent years. Its facade looks west and its terrace faces south, looking towards Arcachon Bay. Its roof terrace is made of concrete planks. Its elevations are adorned with timber cladding, punctuated with windows of different sizes, many of which are large. Inside, there is a vast dual-aspect lounge, which forms a convivial space bathed in natural light from broad glazed sliding doors that look out at the garden. This lounge leads to an open-plan fitted kitchen with work surfaces and a central island unit covered with marble. The lounge also leads outside to a terrace of timber decking – the perfect spot for open-air meals and moments of relaxation, which the climate here makes possible for most of the year. There are four bedrooms. They have built-in wardrobes and their decoration is minimalistic yet colourful. There is also a modern bathroom and a separate lavatory. One of the bedrooms has its own en-suite shower room. Wood strip flooring extends across the rooms. The bedrooms have plant-fibre carpeting upon their wood strip floors. Some walls are painted white, others are painted colourfully and some are timber-clad. The garden has let the coastline’s environment shape it and it has made the most of the mild climate to let its own vegetation thrive here. Indeed, it forms an open-air haven of greenery with sandy ground. Tall oaks tower beside rhododendrons, a Japanese tulip tree stands by large camelias and oleanders flourish on the terrace next to an olive tree and box shrubs. The salty sea air and changing natural light add to the site’s charm. Birdsong accompanies the lapping of the water in Arcachon Bay. In the distance, you can make out the silhouettes of traditional beach huts on stilts – emblems of the bay – with a clear blue sky as their backdrop. At the bottom of the garden, there is a garage that has been converted into a 35m² studio apartment with a lounge, a kitchenette, a shower room and a lavatory. It also houses a large air-conditioned wine cellar.

Our opinion

This bungalow villa is a delightful gem set on the Atlantic Coast. With its practical layout, it is easy to live inside it. Its modern decoration is elegantly understated. The dwelling, bathed in natural light, is the promise of a calm, relaxing lifestyle, surrounded by nature and just a stone’s throw from the endless ocean. It has been renovated masterfully with fine materials, straight lines and soft colours that showcase its spaciousness and reflect the laid-back, chic ambience that Arcachon Bay is known for. The comfortable property could be a main home or a second home. It is ready for you to settle into it. And the dwelling is ideally located too, close to beaches yet set back from bustle.
