AN EXCEPTIONAL ESTATE ELEGANTLY REIMAGINED Nestled within a preserved natural environment and sheltered from view, this remarkable estate represents a rare opportunity to acquire a property where authentic architectural heritage and refined contemporary living coexist in perfect harmony. Meticulously renovated to the highest standards, the property offers an exceptional lifestyle defined by elegance, comfort and a profound connection to its surroundings. Behind its charming façades lies a unique residence where every detail has been thoughtfully reimagined to enhance both functionality and character. The estate is organized around a magnificent paved courtyard that serves as the heart of the property, creating a welcoming atmosphere and elegantly linking its two independent residences. This distinctive configuration offers outstanding flexibility, making it equally suited as a prestigious private family estate, an exceptional second home, or a high-end hospitality venture. The main residence extends across approximately 250 square metres on a single level and immediately captivates with its generous proportions, abundant natural light and seamless flow between spaces. Designed for both everyday living and sophisticated entertaining, the interiors open effortlessly onto expansive terraces, a heated swimming pool and beautifully landscaped gardens, creating a natural continuity between indoor and outdoor living. The historic section of the residence preserves the soul and authenticity of the original property while integrating every modern comfort. Five beautifully appointed bedrooms are arranged within this wing, including an outstanding primary suite complete with its own private sauna, offering a true sanctuary dedicated to relaxation and well-being. Throughout the home, remarkable original architectural features have been carefully restored and enhanced. Elegant mouldings, period cement tiles, graceful cast-iron columns and numerous preserved details pay tribute to the property's rich history while creating a sophisticated dialogue with the contemporary elements introduced during the renovation. One of the most striking architectural features is the network of glazed walkways connecting the various sections of the house. Flooded with natural light and opening onto views of the gardens, these elegant passageways create a sense of fluidity and transparency while reinforcing the connection between architecture and nature. These walkways lead to the spectacular heart of the residence: a dramatic double-height reception room where an exposed timber framework creates a warm and inviting atmosphere. The impressive volume of the space is balanced by the natural textures and carefully selected materials that bring both character and sophistication. Large openings frame views of the surrounding greenery, allowing the landscape to become an integral part of the interior experience. The open-plan kitchen has been designed as a central gathering space where aesthetics and functionality meet effortlessly. Fully equipped and beautifully integrated into the reception area, it is complemented by a discreet and highly practical back kitchen, ideal for entertaining on both intimate and larger scales. Additional spaces include a private study, perfectly suited for remote working or creative pursuits, and a generous games room designed for leisure and family enjoyment. Together, these amenities create a residence that responds perfectly to the demands of contemporary living while preserving a sense of warmth and authenticity. Outside, the estate reveals one of its most remarkable assets. The beautifully landscaped and wooded grounds extend over more than 5,000 square metres, creating a peaceful sanctuary where mature trees, manicured lawns and carefully designed outdoor spaces offer both privacy and serenity. Perhaps the most exceptional feature of all is the property's direct access to the beach. A privilege rarely found, this unique connection to the shoreline transforms everyday life into a permanent holiday experience. Whether enjoying morning walks by the water, spending afternoons on the beach or simply appreciating the ever-changing coastal landscape, residents benefit from an extraordinary lifestyle intimately connected to nature. The second residence, positioned on the street side of the estate, has been conceived with hospitality and entertaining in mind. Entirely independent from the main house, it offers five beautifully designed guest suites, each thoughtfully appointed with elegant finishes, refined materials and a welcoming atmosphere. Guests also enjoy a variety of shared spaces, including a comfortable lounge and a fully equipped kitchen that encourage conviviality and relaxation. Outside, a charming terrace and a heated swimming pool create the perfect setting for enjoying long summer days and evenings. The harmonious palette of materials, colours and textures contributes to a calm and sophisticated environment where comfort remains paramount. An independent studio apartment located on the upper floor further enhances the versatility of this second residence. Ideal for hosting family and friends, accommodating staff or developing a boutique hospitality activity, it offers complete autonomy while benefiting from all the amenities of the estate. The quality of the property's ancillary facilities reflects the same attention to detail found throughout. A climate-controlled double garage provides secure and practical vehicle storage, while one of the estate's most distinctive features is undoubtedly its extraordinary wine cellar. Housed within one of the property's original turrets, this unique space combines architectural character with functionality, offering an exceptional setting for wine enthusiasts and collectors alike. Rarely does a property achieve such a harmonious balance between historical authenticity, modern comfort and an extraordinary natural environment. Every aspect of this estate has been carefully designed to create a refined and timeless atmosphere where elegance is never ostentatious and luxury is defined by quality, privacy and lifestyle. This is a truly confidential address, reserved for those seeking a unique property with soul, character and exceptional versatility. Whether envisioned as a private family retreat, a prestigious coastal residence or an exclusive hospitality project, this remarkable estate offers a lifestyle opportunity of the highest calibre. - What we love: the exceptional quality of the renovation, the beautifully preserved architectural heritage, the two fully independent residences, the rare direct beach access, the magnificent 5,000 sq.m landscaped park, the heated swimming pools, the remarkable wine cellar and the unique atmosphere that makes this property truly one of a kind.
