Set on the shores of Hossegor’s marine lake and moments from the Atlantic coastline, Les Bords du Lac is a rare and deeply atmospheric private home in the heart of Les Landes. Built in the 1930s by French architect Louis Lagrange, this iconic Basco-Landaise property is woven into the history of Hossegor itself, combining architectural heritage with a relaxed, contemporary approach to luxury living.

Surrounded by pine forest and water, the house offers a sense of calm and seclusion that feels worlds away, yet places the lake, beaches, and town within effortless reach. It is a home designed for families, friends, and gatherings where days are shaped by light, nature, and the rhythm of coastal life.

A private home with hotel level service

Les Bords du Lac is fully staffed and serviced, offering the ease and reassurance of a luxury hotel within the privacy of a personal residence. Every stay includes a dedicated House Manager, daily housekeeping, concierge services, and a freshly prepared breakfast each morning. During high season, a private chef prepares generous, family style dishes inspired by local produce and tailored to your tastes.

Service here is discreet and intuitive, allowing guests to focus entirely on time together while every detail is quietly handled in the background.

Interiors with character and warmth

The villa spans approximately three hundred and eighty square metres across two separate premises, set within a private domain of three thousand three hundred square metres. Living and dining spaces are full of character, with colourful details, natural light, and views that open onto the gardens and lake beyond. A welcoming living room and dining area sit at the heart of the home, complemented by a fully equipped kitchen and honesty bar designed for relaxed, shared living.

Accommodation includes seven ensuite bedrooms, sleeping up to twelve adults and two children. Rooms range in size and layout, with views across the marine lake, gardens, or surrounding greenery. Each bedroom is thoughtfully designed to feel calm, comfortable, and personal, offering privacy alongside the shared life of the house.

Outdoor living by the lake

Direct access to the marine lake allows guests to step straight into paddle boarding, swimming, or lakeside walks, while a well known children’s club on the nearby beach makes this an especially appealing choice for families.

A pétanque court, shaded terraces, and garden seating areas invite long lunches, late afternoons, and evenings spent outdoors beneath the trees.
