Architecture from the 60s, this very beautiful villa of 160 m2 structured by round pebble walls of the Durance culminates on a wooded plot of 6,500 m2 with swimming pool in Fuveau, from where it enjoys a splendid view of the mountain range. Sainte-Victoire.
 
To be renovated, the villa, an almost immaculate testimony to its time, uses noble materials and know-how in an architecture that is both original and modern. It was intelligently designed on a slightly sloping plot of land which the architects made the most of; both the upper and ground floor are accessible from the garden. The house is built around a glass patio, planted with a superb monstera. A beautiful Opus Incertum terrace gives access to the entrance surrounded by a square terracotta mashrabiya. Inside, the same layout made of marble and fine terrazzo passes over a water basin facing the patio. This unique entrance distributes the different spaces. On the left, a corridor lined with storage leads to three bedrooms, one of which is en suite with its bathroom with colorful Salernes tiles. On the right, the kitchen takes place. The large living room with marble slab floors laid in a chevron pattern is built around a very distinctive round fireplace and opens through three large bay windows onto a covered terrace of 30 m2 framed by greenery. The patio gives access to a small glass office which leads to the attic of the sleeping area. In the garden, Mediterranean species abound while the swimming pool and its stone beach cool off the hottest summers. A small wood with century-old trees, a string of oleanders, terraces, sometimes sheltered by giant bushes, as well as an immense expanse of lawn make the garden an idyllic place. An annex building of 40 m2 awaiting its new life, a garage, a large laundry room with shower, a technical room, an additional bedroom and a wine cellar complete the property.
 
A pearl of the sixties in an enchanting environment
