The timber-clad exteriors, decked terraces and light, nautical themed interiors combine to provide the ultimate beach house feel. The large, open plan living and dining spaces open up to the terrace and covered dining areas with the narrow sandy beach a few steps down from the end of the grounds. A breakfast bar and a very well-equipped kitchen, along with a large ensuite bedroom adjacent to the TV area complete the mid-level accommodation, with the remaining bedrooms split across the upper and basement levels.
Outside, the 5m plunge pool is equipped with a counter-current system, whilst plenty of parking is on offer with shade around the property afforded by large pine trees.
Nearby is the beautiful village of Cap-Ferret, with its flip-flop chic feel and no-car zones attracting many of France's elite, drawn to simple living, fine gastronomy and endless stretches of fine, sandy beaches. Only minutes away by car guests have larger beaches on offer, with paddle-boarding and kite-surfing among the most popular past-times. Upon request, a 2-seater electric boat, windsurfing boards, paddle boards and a canoe can be provided (at a supplementary cost), offering a great opportunity to explore the bay and discover the famous Bird Island.
