The fishing village of Cap Ferret is situated between the Atlantic sand dunes and the Bassin d’Arcachon, renowned for century old oyster beds and estuary bird life. Exclusive Cap Ferret retains all the elements of a traditional family seaside environment only 66 km from Bordeaux international airport, the bassin offering sandy beaches to swim, play and sail with views across to Arcachon and the great sand dune, La Pyla. The Atlantic side of the peninsular offers plenty of surfing opportunities from the white ocean beaches for enthusiasts.
Maison Gaia is a welcoming family house, sympathetically built in the traditional wooden style of Cap Ferret, and situated in the pine shaded residential area, close to the Bassin jetty and the sandy Atlantic beaches, Maison Gaia is within walking distance of markets and the town centre.
The principal house and traditional oyster fisherman’s `cabine’ guest house are designed with open plan living areas in a sophisticated simplicity. In the main house, the accommodation comprises a first-floor master bedroom and two further double ensuite bedrooms. The open plan living area and kitchen provide a light and spacious feel, and the bi-fold doors opening along the length of the room to incorporate the summer dining and seating on the decking terrace. The lawned garden and a tempting lap pool (15m x 3m with pool heating offered) separate the cabine from the main house, offering a further two bedrooms en-suite with its own kitchenette. Maison Gaia is a most comfortable base to enjoy this special area.
