Set in one of Hossegor’s quiet residential pockets, this architect-designed villa rests in a commanding position among lush greenery, completely protected from view and without any direct vis-à-vis. It is a rare kind of property: private, refined, deeply connected to nature, and only 3.5 km from the ocean beaches that have made Hossegor one of Europe’s great surf destinations.
Designed by architect Bernard Champagnat, the villa follows the timeless dual-wing concept inspired by Marcel Breuer’s 1945 “binuclear house” design. On one level, the home is divided into two distinct parts: a day wing for living, gathering, dining, and entertaining, and a night wing for bedrooms, privacy, and rest. The two wings are joined by a glazed entrance hall, creating a graceful separation between social life and private retreat.
The result is a home with an old-country soul and a modern architectural mind. It feels calm, intentional, and beautifully balanced.
The day side of the villa offers a magnificent living space of approximately 90 m², open to nature and connected to the home’s various terraces. The heart of this space is a warm conversation pit with a central fireplace, equipped with a heat recovery unit, creating an inviting place to gather after a morning surf, a walk through the pines, or an evening with friends.
The living wing includes two lounge areas, one of which is nestled around the fireplace, along with a dining room and a fitted, equipped kitchen open to the living area. A pantry adjoins the kitchen and provides access to the basement, adding practical function to the home’s elegant layout.
The night wing is dedicated to rest and privacy. It includes a master suite with bathroom and toilet, two additional bedrooms, a second bathroom, a separate toilet, and a dressing room. Each of the three bedrooms has built-in wardrobes and generous ceiling height, offering the possibility of creating mezzanines in each room.
The construction is high quality, with solid materials throughout, including doubled walls with insulating brick rather than plasterboard. The roof has been completely redone, adding long-term value and peace of mind.
In consultation with the urban planning department of the town hall of Hossegor, and as originally envisioned by the architect at the time of the home’s design, it may be possible to consider a height extension over the night wing to create additional rooms.
In addition to the 164 m² of living space, the property includes a spacious 100 m² basement capable of accommodating several vehicles. This lower level also includes a workshop area, a large cellar, and a shower cabin—an ideal feature for returning from the beach, rinsing off after surfing, or storing boards and outdoor equipment.
Outside, the villa is surrounded by a magnificent wooded garden of approximately 2,200 m², with a 50-meter south-facing frontage. The land dominates the neighborhood and offers an exceptional sense of privacy and space.
The grounds are suitable for a swimming pool and may also allow the creation of a pool house, subject to urban planning approval. With no car traffic in the immediate residential setting, the property offers a rare atmosphere of stillness, discretion, and old-world calm.
This is a garden made for long lunches, shaded afternoons, and evenings under the Landes pines.
Hossegor is one of the most celebrated surf towns in Europe, known for its powerful Atlantic beachbreaks, elegant coastal lifestyle, freshwater lake, pine forests, cafés, golf, and refined French seaside culture. The villa’s location just 3.5 km from the ocean beaches places the owner close to the surf while preserving the quiet privacy of a residential green setting.
For the surf-lifestyle buyer, this is a property with range: a private family estate, a French coastal retreat, a high-end seasonal residence, or a refined base for exploring the Landes and Basque coast.
