A Belle Époque Landmark with a 90 m² Terrace

In the heart of the Ville d'Hiver, just steps from the Parc Mauresque, the Belle Époque residence breathes new life into the former Hôtel Continental de la Forêt, which first opened its doors in 1889. Dressed stone and red-brick façades, a grand ceremonial staircase, landscaped grounds with a restored bandstand: a rare address where Arcachon's heritage meets the comforts of contemporary living.

This 132 m² (1,420 sq ft) duplex apartment offers something the Ville d'Hiver seldom does: a terrace of over 90 m² (970 sq ft), flowing straight out from the main living space.

On the ground floor, a series of French doors opens wide onto the terrace. The 46 m² living room with open-plan kitchen boasts ceilings of over 3.40 m (11 ft). A 16 m² bedroom with en-suite shower room and a guest WC complete this level, allowing for easy day-to-day living without ever needing the stairs.

Downstairs, a dedicated family and guest wing offers two further bedrooms of 16 m² and 14 m², two shower rooms, a walk-in wardrobe, a second WC and a utility room: space for everyone to enjoy their own privacy.

With a reversible heat pump for heating and cooling, double-glazed timber windows, an energy rating of B and the option to purchase a garage in the basement car park, this home combines the comfort of new-build living with a truly historic setting. All the charm of a family home, with none of the upkeep.

Since 1889, these walls have witnessed some of Arcachon's finest hours. Now it's your turn to add a chapter of your own.
