A characterful villa nestled in 25 hectares of grounds in a wooded valley by the town of Fayence, south-east France. From a country road, a track snakes through olive groves and woods into the valley and leads up to the property. A large wrought-iron gate flanked with two stone pillars marks the estate’s entrance. A caretaker’s lodge stands beside the entrance at a lower level. The track carries on among the trees. Only birdsong can be heard in the calm landscaped grounds that lead up to the splendid villa of local stone built in 1968.
The dwelling was constructed on the higher section of the grounds. A parking area, garages and a shelter lie behind the house. Further on, there is a barn, which could be turned into a stable with looseboxes for horses. On the paved forecourt in front of the villa’s entrance door, a large octagonal fountain made of dressed stone offers refreshing coolness. From the house’s rear side, which faces south, you can admire a magnificent clear vista of the surrounding landscape. An olive grove on the left reminds you that the property is in a Mediterranean backdrop. And a vast meadow extends like a forest clearing in front of the villa’s rear elevation, offering distant views of the towering Massif des Maures and Massif de l'Estérel, the colours of which rival the sky’s palette of hues. In this wonderful outdoor space behind the villa, there is also a paved terrace shaded by three oaks and a swimming pool made of natural stone with blue and emerald tones. A little timber hut hidden among the trees at the edge of the meadow offers a secret spot that both children and adults will love.
Several tracks wind through the estate’s private forest, five hectares of which are fenced off, so wild boars are kept away from the house and the bravest deer can graze in the nearby clearing.
