Arcachon - 262.0 sqm - 8 Bedrooms

Property Description

Villa La Bretagne — Winter Town, Arcachon.

"The Winter Town is a historic hillside district developed from the 1860s, where Second Empire high society once wintered to enjoy the mild climate.
One of the most highly sought after neighborhoods on the Arcachon Basin, Villa La Bretagne, stands out as an exceptional property.
Built in 1865 for Émile Pereire, the founder of this seaside neighborhood, it embodies a century and a half of history and the art of living. Regularly featured in the press and chosen as a filming location, this residence is one of the most distinctive in the area — a site that has been listed and protected since 1985.

With approximately 262sqm of living space spread over three levels, the villa has retained all its original character. A historic veranda, with its period features beautifully preserved, opens the ground floor onto a living room with views in three directions, and a dining room bathed in light from the south and east. A separate, fully equipped kitchen completes this reception level.
The mezzanine, characteristic of these Arcachon residences, offers an additional bedroom with an en-suite shower room. The first floor features four further bedrooms, two of which open onto a large south-facing terrace — a veritable balcony overlooking the laid-back rhythms of the Bay. The top floor, a converted attic, offers three more bedrooms, a loft space, and a fully fitted shower room — plenty of room to welcome children, grandchildren and visiting friends with ease.

Outside, a landscaped, tree-lined garden of approximately 1,795sqm, planted with mature trees, offers a haven of tranquillity and lush greenery — a rarity so close to the town center. The property also includes a garage.

Arcachon, a charming seaside town on the doorstep of the ocean and the Landes forest, captivates with its mild climate, the beauty of its seafront, and its excellent transport links: the railway station puts Bordeaux and its airport less than an hour away, and Paris just over three hours away.
A bucolic and peaceful setting, perfect as a second home or a year-round family residence, where several generations can gather together on the shores of the Basin.
