Property Description

Bayonne - Villa Toki Eder: A Characterful Residence Attributed to the Gomez Brothers. In Bayonne, in a quiet residential area lined with beautiful period homes, this elegant early 20th-century villa exemplifies the refined bourgeois architecture of the Basque Coast. Attributed to the Gomez brothers, emblematic architects of the region at the turn of the century, the villa is distinguished by its balanced architectural composition: a carefully dressed stone façade, arched openings, French-style shutters, and generous volumes, hallmarks of the grand country houses of that era. Offering nearly 500 sq m of living space, the property sits at the heart of a secluded and private landscaped garden of approximately 1,000 sq m. From the entrance, the house reveals vast, light-filled reception rooms, arranged around monumental fireplaces and opening onto the garden. The generous proportions, high ceilings, original parquet floors, and large arched windows contribute to the elegant and welcoming character of these living spaces. Set apart, tucked into a corner of the house, a spectacular antique wooden staircase unfolds within a brightly lit vertical stairwell, a true architectural feature that complements the layout of the different levels. The house currently offers: 10 bedrooms, each with its own bathroom or shower room 3 fully equipped kitchens an artist's studio a separate guest house and a covered summer kitchen. On the garden level, a separate room of approximately 120 sqm provides a rare and versatile space, suitable for a variety of uses: a reception area, an art studio, a wellness center, or a workspace. Outside, several outbuildings complement a landscaped garden punctuated by terraces and relaxation areas, inviting contemplation and meditation. A swim spa, sauna, and parking complete the property. Just minutes from the historic center of Bayonne and the beaches of the Basque Coast, this rare property combines architectural heritage, remarkable volumes and quality of life, in the spirit of a true urban retreat.
