Description

Offering breathtaking panoramic views of the islands, the ocean, and the iconic Fort Boyard, this 1902 bourgeois house—passed down from generation to generation—is a rare gem for sale in this highly sought-after neighborhood of Fouras-les-Bains.



With a surface area of approximately 226 m², it is set in the heart of a park filled with green oaks, featuring terraces overlooking the sea. A true haven of peace, this family home embodies timeless elegance and the discreet charm of a truly emblematic location. Through its generous volumes and unique atmosphere, it invites you on a journey back to the graceful early 1900s — a time of refinement and gentle seaside living.



In a separate pavilion, used year-round for cherished moments with family and friends, lies the heart of the property: a vast, light-filled room offering panoramic views of the ocean, the islands, and Fort Boyard. A large picture window opens onto breathtaking sunsets, while a beautiful stone fireplace promises warm winter evenings by the fire. A rare cocoon, suspended between sky and sea. A simple yet bright kitchen completes the pavilion, ideal for sharing meals in a convivial and relaxed setting.



Set further back, the main house unfolds over two levels and features a beautiful antique balcony running along the entire upper floor. A former caretaker’s quarters complements the ensemble. These two buildings can be easily connected to create a spacious family home, with great potential for customization according to your lifestyle and vision.



Although some updating is to be expected, future owners will be acquiring something truly exceptional. For beyond a home, this is a place — a living site steeped in history, a piece of landscape where a new story is ready to be written.



Don’t miss this rare opportunity to rediscover the spirit of Belle Époque seaside living, in a setting as prestigious as it is authentic.
