A seaside Art Deco property, Biaritz

Just 300 m from the beach, this extraordinary property is a 5-min walk from downtown Biarritz and the famed Chiberta or Lighthouse golf courses. “Yet, this Art Deco villa is absolutely quiet, with a breathtaking view over the Atlantic Ocean and the Spanish mountains,” Barnes Côte basque stresses. Built in 1927 by architects Minache and d’Ault, the 450-sq m villa features a peristyle and a semi-circular porch adorned with basrelief sculpted by the Martel brothers, as well as vintage elements (bow-window, moulding, marble floor, colonnade, chandeliers). The ground floor houses a marble hall with a 7-m wide-clearance, a living room that opens onto a checked pattern terrace facing the sea, and a double-oriented dining room. The remarkable dolphin-shaped iron wrought stairway leads to a gallery on the first floor, with four bedrooms, as many bathrooms, and a billard table. At the heart of a 5,000-sq m park featuring a swimming pool, a music pavilion and majordomo's quarters, this ravishing property could easily be listed on the Inventory of Historical Monuments.
