Description
Édifié en 1898 dans le plus pur esprit néoclassique, cet immeuble emblématique du Moulleau, jadis Grand Hôtel en première ligne du Bassin, a été réhabilité dans les années 1970 pour accueillir des résidences privées. C'est au sein de ce patrimoine architectural que s'inscrit ce remarquable appartement en duplex de 97 m2, où volumes généreux et élégance intemporelle dialoguent harmonieusement. <br>À l'image des ateliers d'artistes, l'espace de vie se distingue par sa double hauteur et ses larges portes-fenêtres en bois, baignant l'intérieur d'une lumière douce aux accents dorés, captée depuis l'Ouest et le Sud. La pièce à vivre, pensée pour conjuguer modularité et raffinement, s'ouvre sur une vaste terrasse de 90 m2. Ce belvédère exclusif, ceinturé d'un garde-corps en verre, offre une vue imprenable sur le Bassin et la presqu'île du Cap Ferret. Une cuisine, baignée de clarté grâce à une ouverture plein Sud, complète ce niveau. <br>À l'étage, une élégante ferronnerie blanche délimite l'espace nuit. Trois chambres y trouvent place, bénéficiant d'une atmosphère feutrée et d'une distribution fluide. Une salle d'eau aux lignes épurées vient parfaire ce niveau. <br>Un garage et un cellier viennent compléter cet ensemble d'exception. <br>Un lieu hors du temps, où la mer devient un jardin. <br>

Next steps for moving to France
Interested in this property? Here's how to move forward.
Understand the buying rules
Foreign ownership laws vary wildly by country. Some welcome you, others restrict or ban foreign buyers entirely.
Sort out your visa
Owning property doesn't give you the right to live there. Research residency options before you buy.
Plan your finances
Understand currency risk, international wire transfers, and whether you can get a local mortgage.
Know your tax obligations
US citizens are taxed on worldwide income. You'll need to file US taxes from abroad and may owe local taxes too.
Set up healthcare
Medicare doesn't cover you overseas. You'll need international health insurance or a local plan.
Run the full checklist
Banking, mail forwarding, power of attorney, pet import rules — the complete pre-move checklist.
