Historic Seafront Villa in Pornic – Pointe de Gourmalon

Set on the highly sought-after Pointe de Gourmalon in Pornic, this characterful villa dating from 1880 enjoys an exceptional location just 20 metres from the sea, with panoramic views over the ocean, the bay and the harbour. A rare address on France’s Atlantic coast, where historic seaside architecture meets remarkable renovation potential.

Set within nearly 2,000 m² of enclosed, landscaped grounds, the property offers approximately 277 m² of living space, comprising a 210 m² main villa and an independent 67 m² guest house. The property provides approximately 477 m² of total usable space, offering considerable scope for further development.

From the balconies, stone terraces and spacious reception rooms filled with natural light, the views extend directly towards the sea. The elevated position is one of the property's defining features: here, the landscape becomes an integral part of the home.

Built at the end of the 19th century, the residence has retained many of the architectural features characteristic of Pornic’s grand seaside villas, including a monumental staircase with turned balusters, original parquet flooring, sculpted fireplaces, wood panelling, a bow window and period checkerboard tiling.

The generous proportions and sea-facing rooms provide an exceptional foundation for a contemporary renovation while preserving the property's historic character. The kitchen remains to be designed, while several spaces, including the bathrooms, are ready to be created.

A full basement with conversion potential, opening onto the lower garden, provides additional possibilities. Accessible from the villa or via an exterior stone staircase, this level could be transformed into a genuine additional garden-level living area.

The property also includes a 67 m² guest house. Its upper floor features an independent apartment, while the garden level retains a former winter garden with a glazed structure overlooking the sea, together with a laundry room and garage.

This second building lends itself to a variety of uses: guest accommodation, an independent living space or the creation of a complementary private area alongside the main residence.

The Pointe de Gourmalon is one of Pornic’s most emblematic addresses. Its immediate proximity to the sea, views over the harbour and bay, and historic architectural character combine to create a setting that would be extremely difficult to replicate.

For an international buyer seeking a prestigious villa for sale in Pornic, this property represents above all a remarkable heritage opportunity: the chance to restore a historic seaside residence in an exceptional setting while creating a home perfectly suited to contemporary living.

A rare property for those seeking far more than a house: a seafront address, historic architecture and the privilege of an irreplaceable location on France’s Atlantic coast.
