Exceptional Seaside Architecture Facing the Ocean

Property Description

The soul of a 19th-century seaside mansion, feet in the ocean

At the edge of the dunes, facing the Atlantic Ocean, this rare property offers total immersion in the raw beauty of the Landes coastline. Located on the front line on a 3,630 m² plot, it combines architectural heritage, bohemian ambiance and spectacular views of the waves.

The main building of 266 m² is a remarkable testament to late 19th-century seaside architecture, typical of former beach-guard houses or maritime structures. It features:

- a U-shaped layout designed to shelter a protected courtyard from sea winds,

- canals roof tiles with a gentle slope, supported by a large exposed wooden frame,

- a central projecting porch topped by a circular oculus that captures light and directs the eye to the ocean,

- wide canopies extending outdoor living, in the spirit of old paillotes and watch posts.

Materials are simple, raw, resistant to the elements: sandy plaster, wooden joinery, natural parquet floors. The ensemble tells of an era when housing had to dialogue with nature while protecting those who lived there.

A way of life between elegance and surf spirit.

Renovated with care, the house now blends its historic foundations with a chic bohemian spirit: vintage furniture, handcrafted objects, a double-height library, light wood floors, a surfboard hung up as a nod to the place.

Each room invites contemplation, with a subtle staging of natural light and framed openings onto the marine horizon. A large west-facing terrace extends the living space to enjoy sunsets from the dunes.

Complementing this is a 101 m² guest annex, suitable for hosting guests, staff, or envisaging a premium rental project. The entire site lends itself ideally to activities such as charming guest house, intimate events venue, prestigious second home, or wellness, creative, or sports retreat.

Untouched and privileged natural setting.

Surrounded by the elements—sand, ocean, pines—and just a few kilometres from Hossegor, this property embodies a rare form of wild elegance in harmony with its environment.
