Description
Villa de caractère au cœur des Sables d’Olonne, cette propriété de standing, entièrement repensée en 2019, incarne avec élégance l’art de vivre en bord de mer. Derrière sa façade pleine de charme, elle révèle une atmosphère chaleureuse où le cachet de l’ancien dialogue subtilement avec le confort contemporain.
Dès l’entrée, la lumière s’invite généreusement dans la pièce de vie, sublimant le parquet d’origine et la cheminée, véritables témoins de son histoire. Les volumes sont harmonieux, pensés pour accueillir et partager. La maison offre six chambres, deux salles de bains et une salle d’eau, permettant à chacun de trouver son espace dans une ambiance douce et apaisante.
En rez-de-jardin, une cuisine d’été prolonge les instants de vie vers l’extérieur, idéale pour des soirées conviviales après la plage. Un garage, rare et précieux en centre-ville, vient parfaire cet ensemble.
À seulement quelques pas de l’océan, proche des commerces des Présidents et du marché Arago, cette villa offre un quotidien rythmé par la douceur du littoral, entre promenades en bord de mer et vie de quartier animée. Un lieu de vie unique, où chaque jour a le goût des vacances.

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.
