castles for sale Var, France

Exclusive! In the heart of Provence and discreetly nestled a few steps from the port of Sanary-sur-Mer, between TOULON and MARSEILLE, with easy access by road, stands majestically this castle, a true historical witness since its creation in the 14th century. The curtain walls, old vaulted arch and watchtowers evoke its past as a religious building (chapel) and agricultural (old mill), while in the 19th century, this place disrupted an entire economy and became the cradle of the AOC BANDOL. An emblematic place of the region and residence of illustrious personalities such as Hugues Rose (General). The last modifications date from the 20th century, thus preserving this regional and French emblem through the ages. The castle, with a living area of approximately 800 m2, faces south and extends over a park of 6800 m2. Several distinct spaces blend harmoniously: on the château side, two large courtyards shaded by two centuries-old plane trees, on the other, unspoiled nature, with its immense medlar trees, separated by a bucolic garden that inspires nostalgia and relaxation. The château extends over three levels, organized around the 100 m2 winery where time seems to have stood still. You can still smell the aromas of wood aged by grapes. You can still hear the bottling of liters, the movement of the staff in the middle of September in a damp coolness that characterizes such a special dawn. A neglected machinery is displayed as if in a museum. A rounded tower adds character to the architecture in the southeast section. On the ground floor, the entrance hall offers a glimpse of the old barrels of the master's home. Each room on this level offers numerous layout possibilities. A first kitchen and a dining room open onto an outdoor space ideal for al fresco dining. A large living room adorned with moldings and cement tiles seduces with its charm. The ascent to the first floor encourages contemplation, with its light-filled windows offering breathtaking views of the park. A cloakroom, ideal for exhibiting works of art, leads to one of the key rooms of the house: the study, all vaults culminating at 4 meters in height and its stained-glass windows, for the sake of privacy, in the past, many geopolitical and economic decisions were made. Five bedrooms are located on this level, as well as several water points. The top floor offers great potential for development, with the possibility of renovating seven bedrooms and several bathrooms, at least. To the west of the castle, an imposing terrace of approximately 70 m2 opens this monument to the longing views of the Sanary hills. To finish in apotheosis with this keep, this central round tower, serving as a lookout, which offers a 360o view and gently lets us rest our eyes on its big sister of the Port.
