La Rochelle Île de Ré Sotheby's Realty offers you this single-storey family home ideally located near the port, shops and beaches. The main house includes a beautiful bright living space, a separate kitchen, three bedrooms, a bathroom (bath and shower) and an office. An annex with a living room, open kitchen, two bedrooms and a bathroom with wc is at your disposal. You will also enjoy a beautiful outdoor space facing south with a heated swimming pool and a large courtyard.

In a spa town between Bordeaux and La Rochelle, a discreet, 230-m² house, its tree-filled garden, large upper patio, garage and studio. Rectangular in shape and built over two levels, the house is topped by barrel tile roofs, the organisation of which demonstrates that initially, there were most likely several houses and outhouses built one after the other depending on the needs at the time. The visible stone masonry is punctuated by numerous windows and doors surrounded by ashlar stone. On the garden side, the ground floor rooms are connected via a 20-metre gallery along the façade, looking out over the garden with its picture windows. As for the upstairs, this floor includes a patio of approximately 65 m², which extends along the entire length of the house. From there, the view extends to the rooftops of the city’s chateau and, on the right side, over the Romanesque church’s bell tower. Right next door, a covered and converted section provides access to a small courtyard adjacent to the studio, which looks out over one of the town’s squares.

A contemporary Ile-de-Ré villa, of more than 300 m², with a swimming pool and a fitness room on the outskirts of Les Portes-en-Ré. Behind a long white wall, the property is accessible via a gate that opens on to a gravel courtyard, while a pedestrian door provides access to a large covered, open-air structure, which gives on to the property. From here, an initial garden is planted with bamboo, palm trees, grasses and Mediterranean plants, whereas, past this verdant space, the dwelling, separated into different spaces arranged around multiple patios, gradually reveals itself in the style of traditional Ile-de-Ré houses. Historically, these dwellings often resulted from progressively grouping together buildings linked to salt manufacturing or winemaking, and these homes, salt warehouses or former wine storehouses were then connected via courtyards protected from the wind. This property echoes this rationale, but with a more contemporary spin, with its lime-plastered exteriors, dark shutters and barrel tile roofs, which repeat the island’s architectural codes, while its wide sliding glass doors create a fluid relationship with its exteriors. From its overall proportions to its interior layout, the entire project was conceived by the architect Jeanne Dumont, whereas the materials used throughout confirms the dwelling’s affluent, but understated character: black brick floors on the ground level, narrow-plank oak parquet floors upstairs, finely-crafted woodwork, wood-panelled ceilings and a variety of custom-made furniture.

A house and its barn waiting to be renovated, nestled on Oléron Island on around four hectares of a protected natural area. The property includes a house with a barn that stands to the south-east. A few other dwellings edge its south side. The main entrance is also on that side. To the east, an inconspicuous lane runs through greenery up to the house. The property covers nearly four hectares, stretching northwards and eastwards to former salt pans. Lush vegetation dominates the site. Small trees and clusters of shrubs cover almost all the land, except for a pond that lies towards the north-east corner.

An 18th-century collection of stone dwellings on a walled plot dotted with trees in the town of La Flotte on Île de Ré island off France’s west coast. The property extends back a long way, arranged in a layout that is a token of its agricultural past. The different buildings are all single-storey structures. They are all turned inwards, facing a central garden. Part of the plot is made up of protected areas. More open areas offer clear views among the buildings. This layout ensures privacy yet provides breathing space too. There is a main house and several old stone constructions: a wine storehouse, a grain storeroom, a barn and a sheep shed. They are all converted buildings that have undergone successive developments. Among them, there are three self-contained dwellings. Exposed stonework forms the elevations, though some of these walls are coated with rendering. Roofs of barrel tiles crown the buildings. Wooden window frames and shutters, mostly painted blue, punctuate the elevations. Most of the floors inside are covered with traditional tiles, though some rooms have floors of terracotta tiles.

A true haven where nature is ever-present, it offers a rare lifestyle, nestled between the beach and the forest, both accessible within a few minutes' walk. Designed by an architect from Cap Ferret, this approximately 175 sq m (1,884 sq ft) house, with its clean lines and timber frame construction, sits on over 1,400 sq m (15,928 sq ft) of landscaped grounds. Upon entering, the right wing reveals a vast reception area of over 46 sq m (495 sq ft), conceived as a quest for harmony between volume and light, with its triple exposure to the south, east, and west. Each bay window creates a living, expansive tableau of the surrounding vegetation, where the interplay of light and the changing seasons unfold a constantly evolving spectacle. The living room, complete with a wood-burning stove, flows seamlessly into the dining room and the intelligently and elegantly designed, fully equipped kitchen. Its white marble countertops contrast beautifully with the bold Klein blue of the wood paneling, imbuing the space with a joyful and welcoming energy, perfect for convivial gatherings. On the terrace, a large awning promises pleasant moments sheltered from the breezes or the summer sun: meals with friends, relaxing with family, laughter accompanied by birdsong - the ideal setting to fully enjoy the swimming pool, much to the delight of all guests. The master suite, a true haven, opens onto a dressing room and a warm bathroom with a bathtub, a walk-in shower, and a toilet. This first wing also houses a pantry/laundry/utility room, as well as a second bathroom with a toilet. On the opposite side, a hallway leads to a charming mezzanine used as a dormitory in the summer, a favorite summer spot for younger guests, as well as two west-facing bedrooms, both opening onto the terrace and the swimming pool. Beyond this, a spacious room of over 35 square meters, currently set up as a photography and creative studio, immediately inspires. Equipped with a water point, it offers numerous layout possibilities to suit individual tastes, while an adjoining garage completes the property. Outside, the poetic and inviting sand garden features multiple terraces perfect for relaxation and entertaining. Nestled in the soft shade of the vegetation, a dedicated rest area affectionately known as "the nap cabin" promises precious moments of tranquility. The cleverly integrated bench and barbecue area create a unique living space around the 11 x 5 meter swimming pool, a true playground for young and old alike. Just 800 meters from the beach and 3 km from the village of Chéray, renowned for its market and shops, this villa embodies island charm in all its splendor: a place where you live, breathe, and dream in harmony with nature.
