luxury architect bastide for sale Callian, France

Just forty minutes from Cannes, less than an hour from Nice International Airport and approximately one hour and thirty minutes from Monaco, this exceptional estate enjoys a privileged setting just ten minutes from the prestigious Terre Blanche Golf Resort. Built in 1998 on the ruins of an ancient Provençal bastide, the residence was entirely redesigned in a refined Palladian style. Its Tuscan columns, elegant loggia and stately portico create a timeless architectural silhouette, immediately recognisable at the heart of a 7.5-hectare estate of meadows and woodland. Offering complete tranquillity in an unspoilt natural setting, the property combines the charm of Provence with the classical elegance of Italian-inspired architecture, while remaining within easy reach of the French Riviera's most sought-after destinations. A rare opportunity, equally suited as a primary residence or an exceptional country retreat, where architectural refinement blends seamlessly with the Provençal art of living. Offering approximately 340 sq m of living space, the residence features generous reception rooms arranged across two wings. The east wing comprises a spacious living room, a library and a study, while the west wing houses an elegant dining room, a kitchen and a utility room. The sleeping quarters include four bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, while three fireplaces enhance the warm and inviting atmosphere throughout the home. The estate also includes a charming private chapel, stables for three horses with adjoining paddocks, and an impressive 20-metre swimming pool. Unoccupied for several years, the property now requires renovation to restore it to its former glory. Its elegant architecture, generous proportions and quality materials provide an outstanding foundation for creating a truly exceptional residence in an idyllic natural environment. Access to the estate is via an unpaved forest track of approximately one kilometre, ensuring complete privacy, peace and an authentic immersion in the surrounding countryside.
