This property is on the market for €5,750,000, listed with Emile Garcin.

Built in 1880, the eclectic villa offers peace, privacy, and lovely views over Arcachon Bay from its positioning above the Ville d’Hiver.

The Belle Époque holiday resort was created in the mid-19th century by the Pereire brothers. Over 300 iconic villas showcase the “picturesque” architecture style of this region, the design a pastiche of neoclassical, neo-Gothic, Swiss, colonial, and Moorish architectural styles.

The 9 bedroom villa spans 6485 square feet, featuring fine formal rooms offering views over the Île aux Oiseaux.

Set in a 1.3 acre lot bordering the Landes forest, the Arcachon property comes with a grotto, dovecote, and a vegetable garden.
