Historic 1914 Villa in La Baule-Benoît

Just a few steps from Benoît Beach in La Baule-Escoublac, this remarkable 1914 villa, designed by architect Antonin Viale, represents an exceptionally rare piece of architectural heritage. One of only fifteen villas in La Baule to have been awarded Exceptional Heritage status, it embodies the elegance and refinement of the resort's grand era.

Behind its polychrome façade lie the original features that make this historic residence so distinctive: elegant bow windows, a finely carved wooden staircase, original cement tiles and generous volumes arranged over four levels. Every detail reflects an era when La Baule's villas were conceived as refined seaside residences and prestigious summer retreats.

Set within enclosed, landscaped grounds of approximately 440 sqm, the property offers around 200 sqm of living space. It now requires a complete renovation, giving its future owner the rare opportunity to restore an architectural landmark while creating a contemporary residence that respects and enhances its original character.

Its location is one of its greatest assets. Situated in the immediate vicinity of Benoît Beach, in one of La Baule's most sought-after areas, the villa offers an exceptional seaside lifestyle surrounded by beaches, elegant historic villas, scenic promenades and a remarkably preserved residential atmosphere.

La Baule-Escoublac has attracted discerning residents and visitors for more than a century thanks to its exceptional quality of life and renowned bay. The Benoît district is among the resort's most exclusive and sought-after addresses. Owning a historic villa here is not simply a real estate investment; it means acquiring a piece of La Baule's architectural heritage and taking part in its revival.

With approximately 200 sqm of living space, four levels, landscaped grounds and preserved period features, this property offers a rare opportunity for an owner seeking an exceptional heritage restoration project.

A character-filled residence, a highly coveted address and outstanding restoration potential — properties of this calibre are sufficiently rare for their arrival on the market to be a truly exceptional opportunity.
