Villa with Panoramic Ocean Views, Swimming Pool and Direct Access to the Coastline – La Rochelle

Panoramic views over the ocean, Île d’Oléron, Île d’Aix and Fort Boyard In La Rochelle, in a peaceful and highly sought-after setting, this single-storey villa offers a rare quality of life, enhanced by exceptional sea views and direct access to the coastal walking paths. Built in 2000 on a beautifully landscaped and fully enclosed 951 sqm plot, the property offers 132.79 sqm of living space and approximately 176 sqm of usable floor area. Facing due south, it enjoys abundant natural light throughout the day and an atmosphere that is wonderfully connected to the outdoors. From the moment you enter, the spacious living area impresses with its generous proportions and natural light. It comprises a comfortable lounge with a wood-burning stove, a dining area and a fully fitted open-plan kitchen, creating a welcoming and convivial space that takes full advantage of the property's south-facing orientation and views. The sleeping quarters comprise three bedrooms, including one bedroom with sea views and direct access to the terrace, as well as a shower room. A second shower room completes the sleeping area. The single-storey layout ensures easy circulation and a particularly comfortable everyday living environment. Outside, the property truly comes into its own. The beautifully landscaped garden features a 5 x 10 metre swimming pool, surrounded by a spacious marble-resin terrace, both attractive and easy to maintain. A 7-metre-wide awning provides welcome shade and allows the terrace to be enjoyed throughout the warmer months. The swimming pool has a depth ranging from 1.20 to 1.80 metres and is equipped with a pH regulation system. The liner was replaced in 2024. A pool enclosure installed in 2026 extends the swimming season and can easily be removed if desired. The garden also benefits from an automatic irrigation system, LED exterior lighting and a recently replaced robotic lawn mower. The property has clearly been carefully maintained over the years. One of the property's most appealing features is its location at the end of the garden: a private gate opens directly onto a coastal walking path. Just a few steps away, the seafront can be reached on foot, allowing you to enjoy this exceptional environment on a daily basis. The house has been meticulously maintained, with the roof cleaned annually and the various systems regularly serviced and upgraded. Features include reversible air conditioning throughout, aluminium double glazing, fibre-optic internet, a water softener replaced in 2021, and a gas-fired condensing boiler replaced in 2017, with a recent programmer, complemented by a heat pump. The property also benefits from a comprehensive range of ancillary spaces, including a garage with an electric door and mezzanine storage area, boiler room, workshop, covered outdoor area and additional parking. The garage accommodates one vehicle, while the driveway provides space for three further cars. The entrance gate is also motorised. The property is meticulously maintained and immediately functional, while offering considerable scope to modernise and personalise the interiors, creating a more contemporary aesthetic in keeping with its exceptional location. Close to local shops, public transport, the university and Les Minimes beach, this villa combines qualities that are rarely found together: genuine sea views, a swimming pool, beautifully landscaped grounds, a south-facing orientation, single-storey living and direct access to the coastal walking paths.
