Basque Architecture Reinvented - 1983 - in the Heart of the Tall Pines

Property Description

Just four minutes from the village and golf course of Arcangues, this elegant Basque-inspired house of approximately 220 sqm is nestled in the heart of a landscaped park of nearly 3,000 sqm, planted with a variety of species, including mature trees and large conifers. From the parking area, an arched green wooden door marks the true threshold of the property. Once through, it reveals an intimate and secluded garden, entirely oriented towards the house. An almost secret entrance, evoking the enveloping atmosphere of a patio, immediately creates a sense of seclusion. With its white facade, sloping roof, and wagon-green woodwork, the house embodies the codes of Basque architecture in a warm and timeless style. Inside, the reception room captivates with its spaciousness and light. The cathedral-ceilinged living room, punctuated by its exposed white beams and fireplace, opens generously onto a veranda converted into a winter garden. This level naturally extends the living space towards the south-facing stone terraces, the swimming pool, and the garden. A contemporary kitchen completes this welcoming space, designed for entertaining and living in constant connection with nature. This level also includes a bedroom with an en-suite shower room, a reading/library nook, a laundry room, and an additional multi-purpose room. This room could become, depending on your needs, a ground-floor master suite, a gym, an artist's studio, or a separate workspace. Upstairs, accessible via a wooden staircase, a mezzanine converted into an office leads to two charming bedrooms with sloping ceilings and a contemporary bathroom. Two further bedrooms, each with its own shower room and accessible from the outside, complete this level. Ideal for hosting family and friends with complete privacy, they also offer the potential for a bed and breakfast business. This section could also be reconnected to the main house. Outside, the garden offers a variety of living spaces: sunny terraces, a swimming pool, a pergola, and shaded corners to suit different times of day. Private and close to all amenities, this property combines Basque architecture, generous proportions, and a relaxed lifestyle in the heart of unspoiled nature. A welcoming family home, oriented towards its garden, it elegantly cultivates a sense of escape.
