Villa L’Estòbi Facing Île des Vieilles In Anthéor, where the red cliffs of the Estérel meet the Mediterranean, Villa L’Estòbi occupies a rare waterfront position directly facing Île des Vieilles and its surrounding islets. Set on an exceptionally level 2,002-square-meter lot approximately half an acre the property offers about 310 square meters, or 3,337 square feet, of living space, expansive terraces, and a heated 17-by-7-meter pool approximately 56 by 23 feet all oriented toward the sea. Five years of design and construction were devoted to integrating the residence naturally into its setting. Red natural stone, Carrara marble, glass, high-performance aluminum, marine-grade stainless steel, and weathering steel create an understated architecture designed to endure both time and the coastal environment. Each of the three principal suites enjoys a private bathroom and unobstructed views of the Mediterranean and Île des Vieilles. A separate suite provides independent accommodations for guests or staff. The flexible floor plan also allows for the creation of up to five full suites without compromising the proportions of the living and entertaining spaces. The property includes direct private access to the sea, along with the use of a private landing pontoon under a renewable maritime authorization. Villa L’Estòbi lies within a highly protected coastal environment, both on land and at sea. The eastern Estérel massif is a designated protected site, while the waters surrounding Cap Roux form a 445-hectare approximately 1,100-acre marine reserve within the Natura 2000 network. In this tightly regulated setting, new construction is no longer permitted, making a comparable property a recently built residence on a large, level waterfront lot with direct sea access and uninterrupted island views virtually impossible to recreate. Villa L’Estòbi does not attempt to imitate a certain Mediterranean lifestyle. It belongs to a place that can no longer be replicated.

Facing the ocean, a 17th-century fort has chosen to tell its story differently. Its stone walls have crossed the centuries without losing any of their splendour. Today they house a place apart — a former relais-château, once a Michelin-starred table — where refinement isn't announced, it's felt from the very first step. The fort holds seven suites facing the ocean, bathed in light and sea air. In the Petit Fort, two further suites extend the experience, one opening onto a rooftop with a striking view. A reading room, dressed in the woodwork of a former apothecary's shop, offers a refuge for quiet hours. A double reception room of 120 m², fitted with a professional kitchen, allows for entertaining with elegance, extended by a vast terrace facing entirely towards the sea. The 5,000 m² grounds, enclosed by stone walls, cultivate their privacy: a twelve-metre pool catches the evening light, a pavilion facing the water welcomes six guests to the rhythm of the waves. Eight garages and a caretaker's studio complete this fully air-conditioned property, built to 2025 hotel standards. A rare place, where history and today's comfort meet, facing the ocean. 14 rooms – 561 m² living space (750 m² total) – built in 1861, renovated in 1997 An exceptional private home or a hospitality venture: yours to write the next chapter.

Royan Île d'Oléron Sotheby's International Realty invites you to discover a character property enjoying a setting as rare as it is poetic, in Carillon, within the commune of Cabariot, where the Boutonne River reaches the end of its journey and flows into the Charente. Ideally positioned between Saintes, Rochefort and Saint-Jean-d’Angély, the estate lies within an unspoilt landscape of meadows, mature trees and waterways. Its distinctive, almost island-like setting immediately creates an atmosphere of tranquillity and seclusion. Beyond the gates, the main residence reveals itself at the heart of its enclosed gardens. Pale stone, a traditional tiled roof, tall windows and a beautifully balanced façade embody the elegance of Charentaise architecture, complemented by a collection of outbuildings, courtyards and ancient stone walls that give the property the true scale and character of an estate. Inside, the renovation has carefully preserved the soul of the house while introducing a decidedly contemporary level of comfort. The generous reception rooms retain their timber ceilings, exposed beams and joists, as well as their original fireplaces. Natural light flows throughout the interiors, highlighting a particularly successful dialogue between historic materials, contemporary furnishings and works of art. The understated, contemporary kitchen blends seamlessly into this refined atmosphere. Upstairs, the bedrooms offer generous proportions and open views across the gardens and surrounding waterways. Original wooden floors and preserved architectural features maintain the sense of authenticity, while the bathrooms introduce a more contemporary aesthetic. Yet one of the estate’s greatest assets lies in the buildings surrounding the main residence. Several outbuildings have already been converted into independent living spaces, offering remarkable volumes where exposed stone is beautifully combined with contemporary interiors. Others remain to be reimagined, providing considerable potential to continue the estate’s story: additional guest accommodation, artists’ studios, reception areas or wellness spaces, depending on the aspirations of the future owners and subject to the necessary permissions. This versatile configuration lends itself equally well to a substantial family residence, a multi-generational home or a distinctive hospitality project, while allowing everyone to retain their privacy. Outside, enclosed gardens, terraces and historic covered structures create a succession of inviting settings. A particularly impressive open gallery beneath an ancient timber frame provides an exceptional setting for entertaining and enjoying long summer evenings. And then there is the water. Just a few steps from the house, the estate meets the banks of the Charente and reveals one of its most distinctive features: its traditional carrelet fishing hut, an iconic element of the Charente’s riverside heritage. More than simply part of the landscape, it embodies a genuine way of life. Walking down to the riverbank, watching the reflections on the water, listening to the silence and observing the changing light throughout the day lend the property an almost contemplative quality. The estate’s location also provides convenient access to Rochefort, Saintes and Saint-Jean-d’Angély, while remaining within easy reach of the Charente coastline and the Cognac region. Immediately habitable yet still offering considerable potential, this property possesses an increasingly rare quality: the opportunity to acquire an established heritage estate without inheriting a story that has already been entirely written. A historic residence, its outbuildings, enclosed gardens, traditional carrelet and, ever-present, an exceptional relationship with the water. A discreet Charentaise estate for those seeking not simply an address, but a place; not merely a property, but a way of life and a story waiting to be continued.
