luxury property for sale La Baule les Pins, France

The city of La Baule-Escoublac thrives along the majestic bay of Pouliguen, gracefully stretching between the charming towns of Pornichet and Pouliguen. Like a seaside gem, it blossomed in the nineteenth century, nurtured by the rise of the railway, which led to a flourishing of villas and hotels. In 1910, under the guidance of architect George Vaudoyer, a residence was built for the Count of Ronceray on Avenue Pasteur. Later acquired by the composer Alfred Bruneau, it subsequently adopted various names according to the happy owners who succeeded one another. This house, one of the last authentic seaside villas overlooking the ocean, is thus distinguished by its inscription in the Heritage of Interest, category 2. Nestled in the heart of La Baule's golden square, it shines within the prestigious casino district and grand hotel establishments. Of Basque inspiration, this residence of approximately 310 m² extends over four levels, with its main building oriented towards the sea. To the east, a vestibule welcomes visitors with a majestic staircase sheltered under an awning. The structure, built of rubble masonry bonded with mortar, is crowned with a meticulously arranged slate roof. The front section is adorned with three superimposed loggias, lending the whole an timeless elegance. The interior layout is as follows: a grand entrance, a spacious living room bathed in light opening onto a captivating terrace overlooking the ocean, a lounge, a fully furnished and equipped kitchen, as well as a laundry room. A sumptuous staircase guides us to the first floor, where three large bedrooms offer themselves to our contemplation, each with its own bathroom, while two face the sea, one of which has its own private loggia. On the second floor, three other bedrooms, all with en-suite bathrooms, unfold their charm, while the top floor houses three additional bedrooms, one of which, with a loggia, offers a breathtaking view of the sea, along with two bathrooms. On the garden level, a bedroom, a bathroom with shower, a kitchen, as well as a flexible room that can easily be converted into a garage, open onto the exterior grounds. Additionally, a technical room housing the oil-fired boiler, as well as a cellar, complete this exceptional ensemble.
