A Hidden Family Gem in the Heart of Île de Ré
Sainte-Marie-de-Ré, Charente-Maritime (17)
€1,455,000
Reference: EDA1708
Tucked away in a quiet, secluded lane, hidden from view, this villa reveals itself as a true haven of peace. From the street, nothing hints at the existence of this charming and authentic Rétais home, thoughtfully arranged around a delightful heated swimming pool.
Offering 190 m² of living space, this welcoming family property is perfectly suited to host several families or groups of friends. The layout includes a main house and an independent annex, allowing everyone to enjoy privacy and comfort throughout their stay.
At the heart of the villa lies a spacious 70 m² living area, where the lounge and dining space flow harmoniously. A large table seats up to ten guests, and wide openings lead directly to the pool, blurring the line between indoor and outdoor living. The fully equipped kitchen invites shared moments of cooking and conviviality. A shaded terrace, protected by a canopy and surrounded by lush greenery, offers an ideal setting for outdoor meals, with seating for six to ten guests. A guest WC completes this living area.
The main house features a master suite on the upper floor, accessed via a steep staircase, with a 180 cm king-size bed, an en-suite bathroom, and a separate WC. On the ground floor, a children’s dormitory includes two bunk beds, while a double bedroom offers its own private shower room. This section of the house also benefits from an independent entrance, making it ideal for a family with children or guests seeking extra autonomy.
The annex, separate from the main house, provides two additional bedrooms: one with a 180 cm double bed (or two 90 cm singles), and another with a 140 cm double bed. These two rooms share a shower room and a separate WC, creating a tranquil and comfortable guest area.
Outdoors, the property unfolds around a generous 450 m² terrace with various spaces for relaxation. The 6 x 3 metre heated pool is secured with a brand-new electric cover and complemented by an outdoor shower – perfect after a day at the beach. A traditional stone barbecue, set in a separate area from the main terrace, adds to the charm of summer evenings spent together.
The roof was completely redone in 2024, and a quote for replacing the windows and doors is currently being finalized, ensuring lasting thermal and aesthetic comfort.
This villa strikes the perfect balance between authentic island charm and modern comfort, right in the heart of Île de Ré. A rare find – perfect for unforgettable moments with family or friends. Not to be missed.
