Seaside house in the Dunes
Property Id: mh267867
New on Campaya
8 Sleeps
3 Bedrooms
Beach : 700 Meter
Description
The house is the last one on a private path that leads directly into the dunes and down to the sea, offering a rare sense of peace, privacy, and direct access to unspoiled nature.
THE SPACE
Located on the outskirts of the small village of Hatainville, just 2 km from Carteret, this charming seaside house enjoys an exceptional setting. The other residences along the path are set away from the house, making the location truly unique. The house is surrounded by open meadows, a few beautiful horses, and an abundance of wild rabbits.
A small footpath takes you straight into the dunes. After a short walk of a few hundred meters, you reach an extraordinary viewpoint 80 meters above sea level, with breathtaking views over the sea and the wild dunes stretching up to 16 km from south to north. This is a protected natural area, completely untouched and free from man-made constructions.
The previous owners of the house, including a Dutch and a Belgian owner, were all searching for a place where they could live in close contact with wild nature. After more than a year of searching for a country house ourselves, we arrived here and immediately knew we had found a true gem. Every stay brings new discoveries—whether in the surrounding nature or in the region—and the house continues to give us joy and unforgettable memories.
From the large south-facing terrace, enjoy lunches prepared with fresh local produce from nearby markets. Afterward, relax in the wooden armchairs or sun loungers in the peaceful garden, accompanied only by the sounds of nature.
The house is equally charming during the colder seasons. After a long walk exposed to the powerful forces of nature, you can warm up beside the fireplace, which efficiently heats the entire house. Thanks to the Gulf Stream, the climate remains mild, and sea swimming is often possible until November 1st.
The wooden house was originally imported from Norway and is decorated in harmony with its architecture, inspired by Scandinavian design and the sea. One of the former owners was a well-known sailor, which is reflected in the maritime atmosphere of the home.
On the ground floor, you will find the living room, dining area, a spacious kitchen, one bedroom, and a toilet. On the first floor, there are two bedrooms and a bathroom with a shower, a separate bathtub, and a second WC.
All three bedrooms have double beds. A sofa bed on the first floor can accommodate two people. The sofa in the living room sleeps one person, and an inflatable bed is suitable for one additional guest.

THE AREA
The nearby beach offers a wide range of activities such as surfing, kitesurfing, and sand yachting, which can be rented directly on the beach. Alternatively, you can simply relax on the vast sandy beach, where it is always easy to find a quiet spot away from other people.
Walking through the dunes is a magical experience, with numerous trails revealing the natural beauty of the area. For longer explorations, bicycles are also a great option.
Just 2 km away, the seaside town of Carteret has been a popular holiday destination for families since the early 20th century. It is full of charm, with a lively market offering fresh local products such as cheese, seafood, fish, meat, vegetables, fruit, and cider.
Carteret also offers several restaurants (including Michelin-starred options), beach bars, a cinema, shops, and a large Carrefour supermarket where you can find everything you need.
