Architect Designed Villa

EXCEPTIONAL ARCHITECT-DESIGNED VILLA IN PROVENCE – PANORAMIC WATER VIEWS – INDOOR OUTDOOR POOLS Carmen De Waal of Sextant France International is delighted to present this exceptional contemporary architect-designed villa, enjoying spectacular panoramic views over the Étang de Berre. Built in 2017, this remarkable property has been designed around light, space and its privileged waterfront setting. Offering over 200 sqm of living space across two main levels, together with an extensive fully fitted basement, it combines contemporary architecture with outstanding lifestyle amenities. Set within a beautifully landscaped 1,007 sqm plot with no overlooking neighbours, the property offers privacy and generous outdoor living while remaining designed for manageable maintenance. PANORAMIC WATER VIEWS From the moment you enter, your attention is immediately drawn towards the water. Generous proportions, abundant natural light and impressive floor-to-ceiling windows frame uninterrupted panoramic views across the Étang de Berre. At the heart of the villa is an approximately 74 sqm open-plan living space, combining a spacious lounge with a contemporary fully fitted and equipped kitchen. Large glazed doors create a seamless transition to the main terrace with bioclimatic pergolas and a heated infinity pool overlooking the water – an exceptional setting for relaxing, dining outdoors and entertaining family and friends. A second outdoor entertaining area features a jacuzzi and offers the possibility of creating a summer kitchen, providing another inviting space in which to enjoy the Mediterranean lifestyle. SIX BEDROOMS DESIGNED FOR FAMILY AND GUESTS The villa offers six bedrooms, thoughtfully arranged to provide both comfort and privacy. On the ground floor are two bedrooms, a bathroom and a spacious principal suite with dressing room, private shower room with double shower, separate WC and direct access to the terrace. Upstairs, three additional bedrooms complete the sleeping accommodation, including one with its own private shower room. The upper floor also opens onto a second large panoramic terrace with beautiful views across the water. AN EXCEPTIONAL LOWER LEVEL The fully fitted basement adds an entirely new dimension to the property and makes it particularly enjoyable throughout the year. It includes a heated indoor swimming pool, a large private cinema room with bar, a spacious laundry room, technical areas and an impressive garage with space for up to six vehicles and electric vehicle charging facilities. These are exceptional lifestyle features rarely found together in a single property. TWO INDEPENDENT ONE-BEDROOM APARTMENTS At the rear of the property are two independent one-bedroom apartments of approximately 31 sqm each. They provide considerable flexibility: ideal for accommodating family and friends independently, housing staff or a caretaker, or potentially generating additional rental income while maintaining the privacy of the main residence. COMFORT, SECURITY AND EASY LIVING Despite its generous proportions and extensive amenities, the property has been designed with everyday comfort and practicality in mind. The landscaped 1,007 sqm grounds provide attractive outdoor spaces without the maintenance demands of a much larger estate. Security is equally comprehensive, with a full alarm system, eight surveillance cameras, indoor and outdoor motion detectors and an automatic entrance gate. Further features include electric roller shutters, double glazing, fibre-optic internet, centralised heating and air conditioning, and a water softener. A PRIVILEGED LOCATION BETWEEN WATER AND NATURE The location is one of the property’s greatest assets. Just a few steps from the villa, the waterfront provides direct access to more than 4 kilometres of landscaped promenade – perfect for walking, running, cycling or simply enjoying the scenery. Romaniquette Beach is approximately 200 metres away, while the Istres marina, restaurants and summer activities are around 1 kilometre from the property. The town centre, shops, schools and everyday amenities are also within easy reach, providing an excellent balance between a peaceful waterfront lifestyle and practical day-to-day living. DISCOVER THE PROVENCE LIFESTYLE Located in the heart of Provence, between the Étang de Berre and Étang de l’Olivier, Istres enjoys an exceptional natural setting within easy reach of the Mediterranean coast, the Alpilles and the Camargue. The area combines nature, culture, modern amenities and an attractive marina, offering an excellent quality of life and the opportunity to enjoy the relaxed pace and outdoor lifestyle for which the South of France is renowned. A RARE PROPERTY AND AN EXCEPTIONAL WAY OF LIFE This is far more than simply a beautiful home. With its heated infinity pool overlooking the water, indoor swimming pool, jacuzzi, private cinema and bar, six bedrooms, two independent apartments, extensive garage and enhanced security, the property has been designed for both enjoyment and practicality. Whether as a prestigious permanent residence or an exceptional second home in Provence, this villa offers space, privacy, spectacular views and a lifestyle centred around the water. A virtual tour and property video are available on our website, allowing you to discover the villa before arranging a private viewing.
