7 bedroom Art Nouveau villa with annex nestling in nearly 3 acres of glorious land with beautiful gardens and pool, ideally located near the beach and all amenities in La Rochelle.
Built in 1910, this 340 m2 seaside property with outbuildings make it an exceptional venue for receptions in the immediate vicinity of La Rochelle and its coastline.
Designed by architect Fernand Grizet, the Belle Epoque Art Nouveau building was extensively renovated in 2020, without compromising its authenticity or its features, while benefiting from modern comforts such as a heat pump and photovoltaic panels.
The three-storey building has retained many of its original features, including antique oak parquet flooring and period wood and marble fireplaces. The textured, tinted stained-glass windows let the omnipresent light filter through, lulling the premises into a warm ambience.
The spacious rooms feature seven bedrooms and five shower rooms or bathrooms. A 100 m2 reception room, linked to the house by a passageway, has all the facilities needed to welcome the public, as well as a catering area.
An essentially single-storey annex house offers five additional bedrooms, for a total additional volume of around 180 m2.
In the heart of the grounds, the heated swimming pool and pool house, set away from the house, complete this unique property.
An exceptional place to live and hold receptions in the heart of a century-old park, near La Rochelle and its beaches.

Buying a Property in France
1. Signing the Agreement (Compris)
On finding a property you wish to purchase you will need to negotiate the terms, price and conditions of the sale with the owner.
The next step, once you are in agreement, is to sign the preliminary contract (Compromis de Vente). This is a legal document and after ten days will be binding on both parties. Rules change frequently in France and it is best to consult with your notary about when this period starts. Generally the compris will be signed in France with the Agent.
Variants can be included in the compris, for example an Acte (clause) can be added if the name or names to go on the title deed have not been finalised. If a mortgage will be required to purchase the property, the details for this, including the name of the mortgage company, must be on the compris.
2. Paying the Deposit
Generally the deposit will be 10% of the agreed purchase price. This will normally be paid to the notaire. There are exceptions to this, if the agent holds a carte professionelle, is bonded and fully registered then you may pay them, but do not hand over the deposit to anyone else. If for some reason the purchase does not go through, for example, if you write to the notaire and the agent that you do not wish to go continue with the purchase before the contract is binding (within seven days of signing the compris), then your deposit would be repaid. This would also apply if a condition had not been met, or the mayor or S.A.F.E.R. (a government agency that has the right of first purchase on most rural property that comes onto the market in France) could oblige the purchaser to give way. If you decide after the seven days 'cooling off' period that you do not wish to complete the purchase and pull out of the sale you would lose your deposit. If however the vendor pulls out of the sale then you will receive your deposit back plus the same amount from the vendor.
3. On Completion
Generally it will take around two or three months to complete the purchase.
During this time the balance of the purchase money must be paid into the account of the notaire, this must be done well ahead of the completion date. The notaire will prepare the documents, check that the deed of sale (Acte de Vente) is in order and have the legal title ready to be signed over. It is possible to have someone sign on your behalf if you give them power of attorney. An interpreter may be of use at this point if your French is not very good and many Notaires will suggest (or insist) that an interpreter is with you.
