Vendays Montalivet Architect Designed Villa With Swimming Pool Just 5 Minutes From The Ocean

Just minutes from the Atlantic beaches of Montalivet lies a rare and private property, conceived to combine space, privacy, comfort and an exceptional quality of life within a privileged natural setting. Set within more than 1.2 hectares of fully enclosed grounds, the estate offers an extraordinary environment of landscaped gardens, extensive woodland and mature oak groves, all sheltered from view and surrounded by nature.
The property comprises two independent residences : a striking architect-designed villa and a beautifully maintained timber house, both immediately habitable and offering a wealth of possibilities — from a primary or second home to a family estate, seasonal rental investment or hospitality project.
The architect-designed villa, extending to approximately 240 sq m over two levels and built in 1996, is distinguished by its contemporary and unconventional architecture, generous proportions and numerous openings onto the surrounding natural landscape. The villa has been designed with everyday comfort in mind, with particular attention given to thermal and energy efficiency, which has been regularly enhanced and upgraded over the years.
The main level, spanning approximately 134 sq m, revolves around a spectacular reception area. The 43 sq m dining room and open-plan kitchen, appointed with contemporary finishes, enjoys a due-south orientation and opens directly onto the swimming pool, creating a seamless flow between indoor and outdoor living. Adjoining this space, a 25 sq m sitting room features a wood-burning fireplace, allowing one to enjoy both the warmth and the captivating spectacle of an open fire during the winter months. A second dining area, utility room, bedroom with en-suite facilities and study complete this level.
An elegant spiral staircase leads to the upper floor of approximately 106 sq m, where the sleeping quarters comprise three bedrooms of around 20 sq m each, a generous landing of more than 26 sq m — readily adaptable as a home office, library or relaxation area — and a spacious 20 sq m bathroom.
Outside, the property reveals an intimate 10 x 5 metre swimming pool, beautifully integrated into its lush green surroundings and providing an idyllic setting for relaxation and cherished moments with family and friends.
The second independent residence is a timber-built house of approximately 137 sq m, including 82 sq m of habitable space, enjoying beautiful uninterrupted views over the grounds and surrounding oak woodland.
Its independence is a genuine asset, offering a variety of potential uses: family accommodation, seasonal or year-round rental, a private guest residence or even a separate resale opportunity.
The habitable section comprises, on the ground floor, a welcoming living area of more than 26 sq m combining a dining room and kitchen, enhanced by a fireplace specifically designed, among other uses, for grilling. A shower room, utility room and 14 sq m bedroom complete this level. Upstairs, a beautiful bedroom of more than 24 sq m provides a comfortable and secluded retreat.
The adjoining spaces are currently used as a workshop, a dedicated storage area for bicycles and surfboards, and additional storage for gardening equipment.
Nestled beneath the mature oak trees, a charming 25 sq m timber cabin further enhances the property, together with a kennel and the possibility of retaining the existing aviaries.
Together, these elements create a rare, generous and highly versatile estate, perfectly suited to those seeking space, privacy and an authentic connection with nature, without compromising on proximity to the ocean and local amenities.
Located in the sought-after commune of Vendays-Montalivet, the property enjoys an exceptionally desirable setting. Just five minutes from Montalivet, one of the Atlantic coast’s emblematic seaside resorts, renowned for its long stretches of fine sandy beach, protected natural surroundings and celebrated surf and watersports spots, the property is also only three minutes from the village of Vendays, with its shops, schools and medical centre. Bordeaux and Bordeaux-Mérignac International Airport are approximately 1 hour 15 minutes away.
This property offers a truly rare combination: the absolute tranquillity of a private estate extending over more than one hectare, the generosity and versatility of two independent residences, and the immediate proximity of the ocean.
A distinctive and wonderfully secluded property, equally suited to a primary or second home, to welcoming family and friends, or to developing a rental venture, in one of the most sought-after areas of the Atlantic coast : a confidential estate of exceptional character and considerable potential, where space, nature and the ocean come together in perfect harmony.
