Owner profile
Declan And Liz on a local beach in November
About the owner
Declan and Liz Jones are a couple from Dublin in Ireland who built their dream home in the Charente Maritime a year ago. They love the tranquility of the location coupled with its convenience for shops and restaurants. They wanted to build a house in the traditional Charentaise style while giving it all the modern comforts you would expect. Some of the main things they love about the area are: the sunshine, the beaches, the food and wine and the people.
Why the owner chose a home in this location
Having holidayed in the Charente Declan and Liz Jones fell in love with the relaxing, sun drenched area along the Gironde estuary and searched for years to find a second home there. Eventually - through friends - they heard about the beautiful port village of Mortagne Sur Gironde and one visit was all they needed to realise they had found their 'dream village'. It took another couple of years to build their home but they are delighted with the results and hope that you will also enjoy your time chilling out in the relaxing environment of 'Loin De La Foule'. The house is within a couple of minutes walk of the bakeries, bars, butchers and supermarket of the 'Upper Village' and a short stroll will bring you down the hill to the picturesque port with it's bars and restaurants.
Unique benefits of the property
The house is perfectly positioned above the village which means that from the upper bedrooms there are clear views of the majestic Gironde Estuary. The location also provides a gentle cooling breeze which is most welcome in the summer months as visitors laze around the pool!
The garden is large and enclosed beside a small road with very little activity all combining to give that sense of privacy and serenity. All your shopping needs are to be found within a few minutes walk and there are plenty of friendly bars and restaurants close at hand.
