luxury bastide with pool for sale Fox-Amphoux, France

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.

A 1930s traditional country house and its grounds of 1 ha in a prominent position in the Moyen-Var region. From the centre of the village, a main road winds its way along the river to the bottom of the valley. After approx. 800 m, a small tarmac road leads upwards to a lovely view over the valley. The property is on the left-hand side of the hill. Past the impressive wrought iron gate, there is access to a car park for around ten vehicles at the rear of the property, hidden away from the house. There is a garage on the car park and another one outside the premises, just in front of the entrance gate. The property comprises roughly 1 ha of terraced grounds. Mostly situated on the south side and above the valley, the grounds cannot be seen from the entrance and are only revealed at the foot of the house with its typical Provence colours. A solid, long covered terrace, which runs along the ground floor of the country house, provides optimum sunshine whatever the season. Below, a swimming pool has been installed on the highest level of the terraced garden. The building, mainly of three levels, is well balanced thanks to its great length, stretching from east to west. Each level has four arched openings, with French windows on the ground floor, small-paned windows on the upper floors, and semi-louvered shutters. The eastern end is topped by an additional storey, enhancing the impressive overall appearance of the building. Two balconies on the front elevation offer wonderful views from the first floor. Finally, a 2016 ground-floor extension, which houses a kitchen featuring large windows and doors, protrudes from the front of the 1930s building. The facades are rendered in pink ochre, and the shutters are painted light blue. The monk-and-nun tile gable roof is emphasised by a two-row Provençal frieze.
