Royan Île d'Oléron International presents this villa in Matha—a secluded property just steps from the ocean, at the gateway to La Côtinière. Situated in one of the most sought-after areas on the west coast of the Île d’Oléron, this villa enjoys a prime location: a two-minute walk from the ocean and just ten minutes from the port of La Côtinière. It is a rare setting that invites you to fully embrace the Oléron lifestyle, with the beach path right nearby, accessible cycling routes, and the port—along with its shops, restaurants, boutiques, and unique maritime atmosphere—all within walking distance. Tucked away from the bustle, the property offers a peaceful, unspoiled setting surrounded by trees. The lush garden provides a delightful sense of coolness and privacy during the summer months. The villa is centered around beautiful living areas that open onto the garden and a covered terrace, which serves as a true extension of the home. The living room, made cozy by a fireplace, flows into a lovely kitchen with a dining area, creating a bright and welcoming space. The ground floor features two bedrooms, a shower room, and a toilet. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms enjoy ocean views and are served by a shower room and a toilet. A mezzanine completes this level, offering potential for use as an office, library, or extra sleeping area. Outside, the garden offers numerous landscaping possibilities—including the installation of a swimming pool, as the plot is suitable for one. A garage completes the property. From the house, cycle paths naturally lead the way to the island’s diverse locales: La Cotinière and Saint-Georges-d’Oléron to the north; La Perroche and La Remigeasse to the south; and—continuing along the coast—Saint-Trojan-les-Bains. A prime location balancing ocean, nature, and village life, where proximity to the beach meets the vibrant charm of La Cotinière. A property worth discovering for its exceptional location, unspoiled surroundings, and potential, situated in one of the most sought-after areas of the Île d’Oléron.
