Située au calme absolu à Arcangues, à proximité de la forêt, cette villa d'exception séduit par sa luminosité, ses grands espaces et son orientation plein sud, offrant un cadre de vie privilégié sans aucune perte de surface.
Imaginée par l'architecte Pierre Couteau, elle développe un superbe séjour lumineux de 64 m² ouvrant sur une terrasse de 60 m², avec une vue panoramique sur le golf d'Arcangues. Une élégante cuisine dinatoire de 18,5 m² complète cet espace de vie convivial et baigné de lumière.
La maison propose cinq chambres, dont une suite indépendante en rez-de-chaussée avec dressings, idéale pour recevoir ou préserver l'intimité. À l'étage, deux salles d'eau supplémentaires assurent un confort optimal pour toute la famille.

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.
