luxury bastides for sale Provence-Alps-French-Riviera, France (page 4)

A hillside villa in Toulon, south-east France, built on a 17th-century priory with vast wooded grounds and a sweeping view of the city’s natural harbour. An electric gate marks the main entrance. You reach it via a steep lane with two bends that is around 100 metres long. Beyond the gate, on the left, there is a large, flat parking space for four vehicles. A shelter there offers space for three vehicles. At a lower level, there is a half-open second space where two other vehicles can be parked. A few steps take you up to a wrought-iron double-leaf gate that leads into a covered entrance area from where you enter the house. The villa, crowned with a roof of barrel tiles, has two floors, extended with terraces on three sides. It was entirely renovated in the early 1990s, then in 1998. Its one-metre-thick walls rendered with roughcast bear witness to the building’s long history: the place was probably a priory that dated back to the 17th century – this is suggested by a millstone bearing the year ‘1630’ that was found on the site. The south-facing house is rectangular, built upon the rocky hillside with a flat ground floor. It offers a floor area of around 280m². Its many sliding picture windows across its facade herald a bright interior bathed in natural light. These windows are fitted with electric roller shutters. The west gable wall is made of exposed pointed stonework. A niche in this wall houses two small statues of cherubs. A vast terrace in front of the south-facing facade of white rendering offers a spectacular vista of the city below and, beyond it, Toulon’s natural harbour. On this terrace, you can relax in an infinity pool where you can admire an unrivalled view of the sea. On the left, two shelters offer shade and coolness in the summer heat. On the north side, two walkways lead to the first-floor terrace and the garden. The villa is surrounded by its vast wooded grounds on a slope.

A Provence villa with two gîtes, a swimming pool and a tennis court set in 2 7 hectares of grounds in the heart of nature and in absolute peace and quiet, near Entrecasteaux. From the village of Entrecasteaux, a main road quickly leads off onto a narrow tarmac lane, lined with stones in places and set against the side of a hill. It winds through a forest of holm oaks and, after around 2 km, ends at the main entrance to the estate, which is marked by an imposing wrought-iron gate. From here, it curves round to the top of the property, which is on a plateau. Five or six vehicles can easily park to the north of the buildings, from where you can see the main features of the property: the main house, the gîtes, the tennis court and the summer dining room. The building, which is situated in a natural zone, is predominantly a single-storey villa, with a slightly raised section with an apartment which is extended by a veranda. It is well integrated into its surroundings, with windows that face south, west or north that are either small or protected by a gallery to the south, to shield against too much sun. There is also a pergola to the west. Although it was built in the 1980s, it is hard to put an age on the house as it feels like it has always been part of the Provence landscape, with its ochre walls, overhanging cornices, painted wooden shutters and covered terrace topped by solid local stone columns. The many offsets in the facade and roof avoid architectural monotony, alternating shelters and patios, creating many places to sit in the sun or the shade, depending on your wishes, the time of the day or the season. The west and south-facing terraces have lovely views of the surrounding hills and are not overlooked from outside. The stone gîtes are built around 50 metres from the main house. The tennis court is set back to the north of the property, and the swimming pool is set below the south-facing facade of the main house.

An early-20th-century Mediterranean villa to be renovated in a commanding position with a sea view, nestled in 4,200m² of tree-dotted grounds in the town of La Croix-Valmer. From the town centre of La Croix-Valmer, a small secondary road snakes between grand villas – tokens of an era when tourism revealed one of the most beautiful spots on the French Riviera. Beyond a bend, a discreet tree-lined track leads up to a large gate – the property’s main entrance. Once you have gone through this gate, a drive takes you to a parking area in the shade of age-old trees and to a garage in the eastern section of the house’s semibasement. The edifice faces south-west. It stands on the edge of the property, in the plot’s north-west corner. This frees up a vast area of the garden at a lower level. The facade is coated with white rendering and it has a granite base course. It forms an L shape with a left-hand gable wall that protrudes slightly beneath a roof of green tiles. There is a raised ground floor and a first floor. This facade is punctuated with quoins in a notched pattern and windows of varied shapes set in surrounds with mouldings that have different motifs. On the top level, there is a balcony of finely carved wood that offers an unrivalled sea view and vistas of the lush surroundings. A small flight of steps leads up to the porch of the main entrance door, which takes you into the raised ground floor. A lacquered canopy crowns the porch, which has a glazed wall with tinted edges and wooden framing that recalls the other timber embellishments of the elevations and roofing and that give the edifice stylistic coherence. The eaves are supported with solid braces of wood crafted into curves and painted in the same yellow tone as the window frames, balustrades and shutters. The rear of the house is separated from the front by a small inner court that brings natural light into the adjoining rooms. The rear section is lower in height than the front section. Different roofs of red tiles are juxtaposed upon it. One of them crowns a polygonal tower. This rear section gives the house depth and mostly contains service rooms.
