RESIDENCE BY THE SEA

More than just an address, this residence is a landmark on the Quai Théophile Cornu in La Tamarissière. Where neighboring plots are tightly packed, this home commands attention with its double width of 20 meters. The property comprises two houses: a spacious one of over 90sqm, and a smaller one of approximately 38sqm, all situated on a plot of over 800sqm. Born from a bold vision, it offers a unique visual opening, a rare permeability that allows the gaze to wander from the river to the shelter of the Mediterranean dunes, the beach, and the magnificent umbrella pines. The architecture of the first house plays with elevation: its ground floor, raised by 74 cm, creates a truly original loggia. From this interior belvedere, you can overlook the gentle bustle of the quay while maintaining absolute privacy and enjoying unparalleled views. First detached house with basement and outbuilding. Total living area: 89.10 sqm. Ground floor: A living room (23.77 sqm), a sitting room, a kitchen, three bedrooms, one of which is upstairs, two shower rooms, a toilet, and a hallway. Basement: Two cellars (total of 27.18 sqm). Second house comprising a living room, kitchen, room, and toilet (51.15 sqm floor area). Garage and a carport. It is here, between the blue of the Hérault River and the gold of the sunset, that a suspended art of living unfolds, facing the river mouth and the open sea, 50 meters from the beach. A Geography of Intimacy. Luxury here lies in space and the diversity of atmospheres: The Familiar Theater: South-facing tiered seating, witnesses to decades of beach returns and summer evenings. In the Shade of the Mulberry Tree: A terrace dedicated to breakfast, offering a privileged view of the passing boats. The Lower Garden: A sunken summer dining room, sheltered from view, for intimate gatherings. An Architectural Renaissance. A major renovation project, respectful of the listed heritage, accompanies this sale to bring the property up to contemporary comfort standards: Volume and Light: An 18 sq m bridge-style kitchen extension, opening onto three aspects (East, South, West) for complete harmony with the outdoors. Prestige of the Upper Floor: The creation of generous dormer windows, transforming the current space into a spacious and refined bedroom level. Living Area: A final potential of approximately 144 sq m, blending the authenticity of the materials with modern structures. This is not just a holiday home; it is a vantage point overlooking time and the elements. A place for those seeking the exceptional. Steeped in the history of the left bank of the Hérault River, this historic residence is much more than a seaside home: it is an integral part of the landscape of the Quai Théophile Cornu. Recognized by the French Heritage Buildings Authority as a remarkable heritage site to be preserved, it embodies the seaside elegance of yesteryear. Contact Valérie Forme 33 6 24 96 46 52.
