Bohemian chic house between forest and ocean

ocated in the commune of Saint-Georges-d’Oléron, renowned as one of the island’s most beautiful villages, with its remarkable church, characterful old stone buildings, and hollyhock-lined lanes, this property enjoys a privileged setting where authenticity and a gentle way of life create a quintessential Oléron atmosphere. Nestled at the end of a discreet and unexpected cul-de-sac, in the heart of a verdant haven within the wooded area of the national forest, it sits on a wooded plot of over 580 sqm. Just 150 meters from the beach, this exceptional address invites you to a daily life punctuated by the tides, family swims, walks among the pines, and aperitifs while enjoying the magnificent sunsets of the west coast.

A place where the pleasure of holidays is naturally rediscovered, whatever the season. Nestled at the rear of the plot, the house enjoys a beautiful view of the garden and its diverse plantings. Its slightly elevated design elegantly follows the natural curves of the dune. A few steps, tastefully integrated into the landscape, lead to this charming and uniquely designed house. A generous U-shaped terrace wraps around the house, creating a true extension of the living space. At the front, a dining area and a summer lounge are sheltered by a shade sail. The slightly elevated position offers a pleasant view overlooking the vegetation, providing a sense of privacy and tranquility, like being in a nest suspended above the garden. From the early hours of the morning, the gaze is lost in the foliage and surrounding nature. At the rear, the atmosphere becomes more secluded.

A small outdoor lounge and a built-in barbecue create an intimate entertaining space, sheltered from prying eyes and the summer bustle. An outdoor sink and a shower for rinsing off after the beach naturally complement these amenities. On the property, various relaxation areas are nestled in the shade of mature trees, inviting you to set up deck chairs and reading nooks to fully savor the balmy days of island life. Upon entering, the house reveals approximately 57 square meters of living space, including a living room of about 28.5 square meters, which immediately captivates with its spaciousness and impressive ceiling height of approximately 4.28 meters. This verticality creates a pleasant feeling of openness and airiness, while highlighting the unique character of the architecture. The living room and dining area are arranged around an open-plan kitchen with a breakfast bar, a true invitation to shared moments. The overall effect is a bohemian chic atmosphere, both relaxed and refined, where every space and object seems to have been designed to welcome family and friends.

On the upper level, a mezzanine (not included in the living area) overlooks the living room and provides an additional sleeping space, making full use of the attic space and enhancing the feeling of height. Two bedrooms, a shower room, and a separate toilet harmoniously complete the interior spaces. The architecture and materials contribute fully to the identity of this property. Wood cladding, polished concrete floors, and solid wood create an atmosphere inspired by the iconic beach huts of Cap Ferret, blending seaside charm, authenticity, and relaxed elegance.

This natural charm gives the house a truly unique personality. A garage on the lower level and a parking area for three to four vehicles complete the amenities of this property. A seaside house with singular charm, where one comes seeking much more than just proximity to the ocean: a true art of living, between unspoiled nature, a cabin feel, and island tranquility.
