A Restored Provençal House With A Swimming Pool And Outbuildings, Tucked Away In The

A restored Provençal house with a swimming pool and outbuildings, tucked away in the countryside in the west of France’s Var department, 20 minutes from the Mediterranean Sea. You reach the Provençal house via a small country lane and then a 100-metre-long earthen track that also leads to two other properties. There is a parking area, sheltered with vegetation, and then a stone annexe. This space marks the start of a gravelled drive into the property. The house dates back to the 19th century. The south-facing edifice is edged with a travertine terrace. It leads out onto a vast, flat space just above a swimming pool. Its stone elevations without pointing rise up to a gabled roof of barrel tiles, underlined with a double-row génoise cornice. The main building has a ground floor and a first floor. It has an elevation with four rectangular windows upstairs and three glazed doors downstairs. The stone surrounds of these openings are typical of the south of France. A first studio apartment adjoins the edifice’s east side and leads out to a terrace via a glazed double door. Its flat roof serves as a terrace and as an entrance, via backstairs, to a second studio apartment, which is bigger. In front of the terrace, which is demarcated by a low dry-stone wall and two mulberry trees framing a few steps, there is a gravelled and grassy surface where you can admire a sweeping view of vineyards in the undulating landscape that surrounds the property. At one end of the plot, among age-old olive trees, there are two looseboxes that have been converted into unique summer dwellings. On the west side, slightly lower down from the swimming pool, there is a kitchen garden and an orchard, which are provided with water from a well down here.
