The authenticity of a stone house, the charm of an Oleron hamlet
Royan Ile d'Oléron Sotheby's International Realty presents, in the heart of the charming hamlet of Arceau—located in the commune of Saint-Pierre-d'Oléron—a lovely early 20th-century stone house, an invitation to discover and savor the island way of life.
Nestled in the quiet of a small cul-de-sac, within an authentic setting that has preserved the spirit of traditional Oléron hamlets, this home captivates from the very first moment with its character, warm atmosphere, and peaceful surroundings.
Outside, the carefully preserved garden serves as a private, verdant cocoon, shielded from view. Intimate and pleasant, it is the perfect spot to make the most of sunny days, enjoy meals on the terrace, or spend long summer evenings outdoors. A charming terrace serves as a natural extension of the living areas, while the garden—with space to accommodate a swimming pool—offers exciting potential for further development, such as creating an additional relaxation area.
Inside, the house fosters a welcoming ambiance where the charm of the past meets modern-day comfort. The living area, featuring a wood-burning insert, creates a particularly cozy setting—ideal for enjoying evenings by the fireside, regardless of the season.
The property includes three bedrooms; one features a mezzanine, adding extra charm and offering versatile layout possibilities. Two shower rooms, each with a toilet, complete the sleeping quarters, ensuring comfort and functionality—whether for a primary residence or for hosting family and friends.
Additional amenities include a laundry room, a dedicated space for bicycle storage, and solar panels, all of which enhance the appeal of this home. Another significant advantage is the option to keep the existing furniture, allowing for immediate move-in and the ability to enjoy the property right from the moment of purchase.
Located in Arceau, this property benefits from a privileged setting, in the heart of an area where nature, heritage, and a relaxed way of life blend harmoniously. Those who enjoy a stroll will appreciate the landscapes of the Arceau and La Perrotine marshes, as well as the walking paths and cycling routes that reveal the many facets of the island.
Just a short distance from the center of Saint-Pierre-d'Oléron—with its shops, market, and lively narrow streets—and the picturesque fishing port of La Cotinière, renowned for its maritime atmosphere, quays, and fresh seafood, this home offers the perfect base to fully enjoy the island's many attractions.
Whether it’s spending time on the ocean beaches, cycling, visiting farmers' markets, exploring oyster-farming ports, or discovering charming, traditional villages, everyone can experience Oléron at their own pace, throughout the changing seasons.
