Exceptional Le Corbusier-inspired villa with panoramic view
Exceptional Le Corbusier-inspired villa with panoramic view
Built in 1972, this 255 m2 modernist property is set in a 1,700 m2 wooded plot in the heart of the pretty town of Fontenay-le-Comte.
This exceptional villa, with its pure, angular lines, is a veritable manifesto of modern architecture as defined by Le Corbusier: the construction entirely on stilts, the XXL-sized roof terrace, the spiral staircase, the large flanking windows and the unadorned facade make this a living space that elegantly combines aesthetics and functionality. The dominant position and superb unobstructed views of the countryside and city make this a truly unusual place to live.
The entrance is revealed after crossing a footbridge that links the public space to the property. The imposing anthracite entrance door contrasts with the pure white of the facade and invites you to discover the hall, where the travertine floor and double glass door are attractive reminders of the construction period.
This leads into the spacious dining room, where travertine is also in evidence. The light-filled window immediately catches the eye, providing a natural first view of the Vendée valley.
The kitchen, adorned with light oak parquet flooring and an assertive pink mural, conveys a very contemporary ambience, where the taupe-colored furniture and the vast central island in brown quartz form a lovely harmony. This effect is reinforced by the workshop-style glass roof linking the back kitchen.
A few steps lead up to the light-filled living area, which faces an impressive copper-clad wood-burning insert, whose imposing flue is reminiscent of a ship’s mantelpiece. The imposing bay window invites you to take to the open sea and enjoy a roof terrace of extraordinary dimensions, offering superb panoramic views.
The lower level, accessed via a large circular travertine staircase, offers a first night space comprising a very generous suite in soft, light tones, with private shower room and dressing area.
A second suite with a bathroom in a bold vintage look completes the space.
Half a level down, there are two additional twin suites, each with its own bathroom, in a refreshing Seventies ambiance that perfectly respects the history of the property.
The second, lower level features a large, fully glazed artist’s studio overlooking a suspended terrace and treetops.
The property also features a laundry room, boiler room, office space that could be converted into a bedroom, and a dedicated sports area.
Outside, the majestic roof terrace features a large covered area and imposing planters, creating a Mediterranean island atmosphere that invites conviviality.
The second, more intimate terrace is the ideal place to enjoy the small pool overlooking the garden and invites contemplation.
A large garage completes the property.
The property is just 2 minutes from amenities, 8 minutes from motorways, 35 minutes from Niort, 50 minutes from La Rochelle and an hour from Les Sables d’Olonne and the Nantes conurbation.
The DPE is in progress.
