Set in a rare and unspoiled environment between marshes, harbor, and ocean, this exceptional coastal property offers a peaceful and inspiring lifestyle just moments from the sea. Positioned on a generous 4,854 m² plot, bordered by a channel and with open sea views, the estate harmoniously blends the charm of history with modern comfort and outstanding potential.

The main residence is a single-storey home composed of two distinct sections, each with its own identity:

The original wing, dating from 1579, has been beautifully renovated to preserve its soul while enhancing its livability. It features a bright and welcoming living room, a country-style kitchen, a study, and two comfortable bedrooms. Period details meet refined renovation in a warm, serene atmosphere — ideal for those who appreciate character and authenticity.

The contemporary extension (built in 2000) offers a spacious master suite complete with a dressing room and direct access to a private rear terrace — the perfect spot to unwind and enjoy long summer evenings.

These two wings are seamlessly united by a light-filled through-entrance hall, acting as a graceful transition between the home's historic past and its more recent additions.

Beyond the main house, this property offers additional buildings with flexible potential:
- A 30 m² independent guest house, currently rented, ideal for accommodating guests, extended family, or generating rental income.
- Former oyster shack of approx. 100 m², awaiting renovation — this unique structure could be transformed into an artist’s studio, wellness space, indoor pool, or even a second residence, depending on your needs and vision.

The grounds offer abundant parking space, mature vegetation, and open views — with the proximity to water and the wild coastal landscape creating a setting of rare tranquility.

Whether you're seeking a primary residence, holiday retreat, or a creative hospitality project, this is a property of exceptional character in a truly unique location — where the land meets the sea and time seems to slow down.
