A California-style house with panoramic sea views set in 4,000 m² of grounds in the hills above Toulon. The property is located halfway up a sloping cul-de-sac, with an automated gate marking the main entrance. There are two secondary entrances on the south and north sides of the property. Once through the gate, five parking spaces are available, either directly in the large basement or outdoors. The house has three levels, extended by terraces. Each storey is set back from the one below: almost all the walls are of glass, with sliding glass doors and some concrete walls painted white. The flat roofs are either painted white and covered with gravel or form terraces, the largest of these extending across the first level, which includes a swimming pool. The roof of the second level is entirely covered with solar panels, for complete self-sufficiency in electricity.

A 750-m² renovated villa, owned by the same family for the past two centuries, with 4.5 hectares of farmland, a swimming pool and vast grounds, near Toulon. The property, facing north-south, covers an immense rectangular-shaped area of 4.5 hectares. Accessible from the B road to the south via the main entrance, followed by an olive tree-lined lane of nearly 200 metres, the property also has a second, more discreet entrance, located on its northern side and accessible via a small public road, while two wooded areas can also be found on the property: one to the north, near the buildings and, the other, to the southwest. As for the property, currently used for weddings and seminars, it would also be ideal, after some minimal modifications, as a family residence, a bed and breakfast or charming holiday accommodations. The edifice, built in 1730 and then meticulously renovated in 2012, displays the classical appearance of a three-storey construction, cadenced by five vertical rows of windows and topped with a hipped roof. Abutting the northwest side of the villa is a 17th-century building, also renovated, which includes a professional kitchen on its garden level and a caretaker’s flat upstairs. As for the villa, it is preceded by a glass entrance porch, which opens onto an entrance hall and includes two living rooms on its garden level, three other sitting rooms, a nuptial suite and a study on the first floor, while the occupant’s private living quarters, with four bedrooms and accessible via an independent staircase, are on the second floor. As for its exterior, a large gravel patio runs along the length of the façade and is decorated with a circular ornamental pond, while the swimming pool area is located below to the east of the central drive and, given its size, makes it possible to regularly host wedding receptions under tents that are set up during the summer months. In addition, the two side sitting rooms and the office on the first floor could also be reconverted into bedrooms with lavatories for a total of ten bedrooms in all, including the caretaker's flat. Lastly, a number of outbuildings are located in the property’s wooded section extending to the north of the villa, such as: a garage, storage rooms, a vaulted cellar as well as a giant rainwater tank and an old well.

A chateau and its outbuildings set in a vast 160 ha estate comprising plains, forests, olive groves and vineyards in the heart of Green Provence . The chateau comes into view at the end of a long drive winding through a lush green plain with vineyards, olive groves and streams. A long driveway lined with box hedges leads to the residence and splits into two symmetrical tracks surrounding a large lawned garden with an oval pool at its centre featuring koi carp. The atmosphere calls to mind a noble Italian villa, dominating the vineyards and nearby olive groves. Four large plane trees rise above the south-facing terrace, providing shade and freshness all summer long. A flight of steps takes you down to a large lawn below. The outbuildings are within easy reach, scattered around the chateau while retaining their independence and discretion. The buildings are of dry stone, typical of the region. The main facade of the chateau is rendered in ochre roughcast, with darker, slightly projecting window surrounds and cream-coloured stone sills. There are twelve arched openings on each of the two storeys of the south-facing elevation, with original casement and French windows illuminating the rooms. Two square towers flank the main facade to the east and west of the structure. There is a chapel alongside the eastern end of the building. The wooden main entrance door has a cream-coloured stone surround and is topped by a transom with an intricate wrought-iron grille. The hallway is accessed via a stone step.

A characterful dwelling with a sweeping sea view and a walled garden dotted with citrus trees, nestled in the old town centre of Hyères in the south of France. It was under the reign of Charles I of Anjou, in the 13th century, that a fortified town with five gates was built around the chateau here. One of these gates, Porte Saint-Paul, still has the grooves of its former portcullis. The edifice has three floors and is built upon Porte Saint-Paul gate. It has been redesigned several times since it was first built and it was extended in the 19th century. Its elevations are coated with rendering and its window and door surrounds are made of exposed ashlar, as are its quoins. The windows are arranged in four bays along the sea-facing elevation. They are of different sizes. Most of them are arched and the others are rectangular. A double-row génoise cornice underlines a roof of barrel tiles, which crowns the main section. A turret marks a corner of the edifice. It is supported by the gate’s thickest pillar and is capped with a zinc cone roof that is crowned with a finial. Inside the building there are five apartments, including the three that are for sale and which lie on the ground floor and first floor. The current owners have brought the three apartments together into a single dwelling with a 160m² floor area. The dwelling surrounds a terrace and a walled garden dotted with old citrus trees. The garden faces south and enjoys absolute privacy. It offers panoramic views of the Îles d'Or islands and the surrounding hills, upon which Villa Noailles stands. The three apartments could be turned into three self-contained units, each with their own private entrance. From a small road behind Saint-Paul collegiate church, three steps take you to an old door, which leads to the building’s entrance hall and to a wooden spiral staircase. These stairs take you to the upper floors.

On the outskirts of Aix-en-Provence, less than 30 minutes from the train station and the airport, a 300 m² bastide with a swimming pool, set in a wooded and enclosed park of nearly 2,000 m². Surrounded by greenery, the estate is situated away from an urban thoroughfare. Below, a wooded and classified hillside ensures an unchanging horizon. Furthermore, the property, enclosed by walls and hedges, protects the privacy of its occupants while allowing the Provençal light to enter. Integrated into a residence, although completely independent, it is thus quiet and perfectly secure. The old bastide, whose origins date back to the 17th century, reflects the Aixois art of living, balancing classic rigor and southern elegance. Rectangular in plan, it offers more than 300 m² of living space, spread over three levels. The dressed stone elevations are coated with lime and topped by a traditional canal tile roof finished with a double eave. The monumental door built of Bibémus stone, topped with a cherub's head, recalls the original residential purpose of the place. The windows, symmetrically positioned around this door, are closed by wooden small-paned joinery and complemented by wooden shutters. The bastide was enlarged to the east by a veranda illuminated by large iron windows and topped with a terrace roof covered by a pergola. Two renovation campaigns in 1999 and 2006 have allowed for a blend of heritage and comfort: careful insulation, modern heating, and discreet air conditioning.This description has been automatically translated from French.

30 minutes from Aix-en-Provence, in a large character bastide, a duplex and its private garden on a 3-hectare private estate. On the estate, besides the castle that served as a wine cellar in Roman times, three bastides were built in the 17th century. One of them underwent complete restoration about fifteen years ago with quality materials by a renowned architect, who divided it into apartments. The large bastide, surrounded by vineyards, is accessible from a wrought iron gate framed by two stone pillars and consists of several buildings of different shapes and heights. The walls of the buildings have been coated with ochre yellow lime. The whole is topped with gabled roofs made of canal tiles, typical of the region. On the eastern side of the central building, a courtyard with two stone basins is lined with plane trees. The clever layout of the windows of the apartments, protected by wooden shutters, and the adjoining gardens, allows each to maintain its privacy. The elegance of the building is highlighted by the cypress trees planted on either side. At the back, an olive grove and a large swimming pool serve as common space. A little further down, an additional area has been created and serves as parking space for residents.This description has been automatically translated from French.

On the heights of the Jabron Valley, 10 minutes from Sisteron, a hamlet from the 17th and 18th centuries transformed into a lodging place. The property extends over a plot of about 7,000 m², organized around two distinct built ensembles in local stone, covering an area of more than 800 m². The complex, which dates back to the 17th and 18th centuries, underwent renovation between 2017 and 2023, preserving ancient elements and adapting the place for lodging activities. The terracotta floor tiles, several original architectural features, and the volume of the buildings have been preserved, while the technical equipment has been modernized to meet current needs. Access to the estate is via a staircase bordered by driftwood leading to an old central courtyard that organizes the circulation between the various buildings. Below, a covered terrace extends the living spaces for large tables during events. Water also structures the surroundings: a swimming pool set apart and a pond animated by a small waterfall in the central courtyard introduce a discreet sound presence. The outdoor areas feature varied vegetation, including fruit trees. At the top, a shaded wooded park houses a wooden terrace as well as an independent lodging in the form of a nomadic tent, designed for a stay in the heart of nature.This description has been automatically translated from French.

To the west of Var, in nature and 20 minutes from the seaside, a restored stone farmhouse with a swimming pool, outbuildings, and unique accommodations. The farmhouse is accessible via a small communal road and then a dirt path about a hundred meters long, which also serves two other properties. A parking area protected by vegetation precedes a stone shed and marks the entrance to the property, whose ground is treated with gravel. The farmhouse, dating back to the 19th century, bordered by a terrace covered with travertine, is oriented to the south. It opens onto a vast flat area overlooking a swimming pool. Its unjointed stone facades are topped with a two-pitched canal tile roof and edged with a two-tiered cornice. Elevated over two levels, the main building has four upright openings on the upper floor and three French doors on the ground floor, whose masonry frames are typically southern. Attached to its eastern side is an independent studio that opens onto a terrace through a wide double French door. Its roof is flat and serves as a terrace and access, via a back staircase, to a second, larger studio. In front of the terrace delimited by a dry stone wall and two mulberry trees framing a few steps, extends a gravel and grassy area, from where there is a wide view of the vineyards in a hilly landscape. At the eastern end of the land, among hundred-year-old olive trees, two boxes with their private spaces have been arranged for 'unique' seasonal accommodation. To the west, below the swimming pool, there are a vegetable garden, fruit trees, and a well that provides them with the necessary water.This description has been automatically translated from French.

A 20th-century Mediterranean villa with a sea view and over 5,000m² of grounds, nestled near Toulon in south-east France. An electric metal gate leads into the property. A winding driveway, lined with stone walls and vegetation, stretches 150 metres. This drive leads to a gravelled court where two age-old olive trees tower. The dwelling has a ground floor, a first floor and a second floor in the roof space. It offers a liveable floor area that is currently around 250m². A basement adds 130m² to the floor area. The villa is classical in style. It faces north and south and is made of rubble stone, coated with pale ochre rendering. Many openings punctuate the facade, with large-paned windows and glazed doors fitted with shutters painted green. The edifice is crowned with a gable roof of barrel tiles, underlined with a double-row génoise cornice. The window surrounds and roof stringcourse are white, bringing out the ochre tone of the rendering and all the other colours of the whole. On the south side, there is a terrace with a court with olive trees. Here you can admire a view of Toulon’s natural harbour and the sea. On the west side, there is a second terrace. It offers a view of the surrounding hills and the grounds, which are terraced with dry-stone retaining walls.

Close to the Verdon gorges, in the Var hills, a small 19th-century bastide has been enlarged, set in a 1.7 ha park dotted with pines and olive trees. Less than 5 minutes from the village via the departmental road, access to the fully enclosed property is through a wrought iron gate framed by walls. On the northern edge, the main body of the building forms a harmonious ensemble of square volumes topped with pediments. The former small country bastide from 1808, renovated and extended in 2000, blends with a contemporary wing of similar inspiration, resulting in around 350 m² of living space. The whole structure faces south and overlooks a 1.7 ha park punctuated by pines, olive trees, and other Mediterranean species. The two sections, connected by a large open-plan room that runs through, maintain the coherence of an imposing building, with facades coated in white lime, punctuated by symmetrical openings lined with gray shutters. The railings of the first floor of the former sheepfold are adorned with wrought iron work. The two-pitched roofs and the double eaves emphasize their elegance. The south, west, and north facades are bordered by large gravel terraces. The one to the south, with its two plane trees, opens onto a panorama of hills and scrubland and leads, by a stone staircase, to an alleyway alternately lined with cypress trees and hedges. This leads to a fountain, while the one to the west creates a dining space in the shade of a two-hundred-year-old tree. At the back of the building, to the north, a parking area for numerous vehicles is adjacent to a caretaker's house. Beyond, the terraced olive fields spread out, the pine forest to the east, and set back a discreet masonry pool, protected from view by stone walls and hedges.This description has been automatically translated from French.

A traditional Provence house with large outbuildings, a swimming pool, tree-filled garden, and 2 hectares of fig trees, near to Hyères and 20 minutes from the beaches. From the country road, a lane lined with fig trees, also leading to other houses, heads directly to the property’s entrance and its wide, sliding gate, behind which there is a large, tarmacked inner courtyard. This vast parking area serves the two outbuildings used for the farming activity but also the two-storey main dwelling and the adjacent single-storey apartment to the west. The country house, which was erected more than 20 years ago, combines the main dwelling and independent apartment. It boasts a sober and classic appearance that is respectful of Provence’s architectural traditions: a subtly toned pink rendered façade, almost perfectly symmetrically laid out rectangular windows - though some doors and patio doors are arched - pastel blue Venetian louvred shutters and, depending on the section of the building, hipped or half-hipped roofs made of half-round tiles, underlined by a double genoise corbel. Its southern façade overlooks a large patio that stretches out in front of the apartment to the west, while the approximately 800-m² garden mainly expands to the south and east. The swimming pool and pool-house are located at the southeastern tip of the garden, which is enclosed by walls and hedges, while a working, approximately 2-hectare, certified organic fig tree orchard can be found to south of the house.

A unique, centuries-old chateau and its terraced garden on the edge of a typical Provence village set in a regional nature park . A raised driveway bordered by hedges leads from the village to the estate. A wide wrought iron gate, framed by two masonry pilasters and topped by an interlaced decorative motif, marks the entrance to the property. The terrace in the upper part of the estate reveals a succession of buildings and the long eastern facade, as well magnificent views towards the valley in the distance. The scent of boxwood and roses wafts across the landscape, while the sound of trickling water can be heard in the moat below. Built in the 17th century and enlarged in the 18th century following the main stylistic principles of classical Provence architecture, the building was extensively altered in the 19th century with the addition of a corner tower and an aviary, giving it its current castle-like appearance. The various parts of the edifice, which have survived the centuries, thus present a unique appearance, somewhere between a bastide (Provence farmhouse) and a chateau. The complex comprises four different sections. Three of them have juxtaposed east-facing elevations with regular, symmetrical windows, while the fourth is set back behind its stone-paved courtyard and blue-painted wrought-iron gate and railings. The western facades have fewer and more discreet windows than the other elevations and are all aligned along a little-used village street to the rear of the buildings. The different materials used for the facades and roofs - coursed rubble masonry, brick, slate and terracotta - reflect the construction periods of the various buildings and extensions. The buildings are bordered by several terraced garden areas, benefiting from a water source in the village that is reputed to be inexhaustible. The upper level, at the foot of the château, comprises a rose garden with its pond to the south, a terrace with its water fountain and an impressive chestnut tree in the centre and, to the north, a formal French-style garden with its parterre of pruned box and a series of eleven vaulted ponds, fed by the spring and releasing the overflow of water at the bottom of the estate. A large field at the bottom of the estate provides a distant view of the valley overlooked by the chateau.

A large architect-designed villa in a site overlooking La Seyne-sur-Mer, with a roof terrace and swimming pool, in 2,400 m² of tree-lined grounds. A tarmacked lane leads to the entrance of the property whose double-leaf solid metal gates decorated with wrought-iron arabesques are electrically powered. A stone-paved driveway leads up to the house’s porch to the left and a large garage straight ahead. The villa was built in 1967 and boasts living space of approximately 370 m². It is rectangular in shape and has three storeys that embrace the terraced lie of the land. The upper level is made up of vast roof terrace with more than 150 m² of space and views of the sea. The walls of the façades are rendered in white and are dotted with large aluminium windows as well as French windows, fitted with electric roller blinds and black wrought-iron grating for the openings on the garden level. A very large glass-paned veranda adorns the southern façade, while a triangular awning protects the entrance door. There is a gigantic lounge bathed in the light that flows through the veranda on the garden level, next to a kitchen and master bedroom with en suite facilities, while four other bedrooms and related rooms are located on the lower level, all opening onto patios that lead into the garden. The grounds are made up of several terraces planted with cork oak, pine, palm, olive and fig trees. The largest terraces play host to an outside dining space with an outside oven on one, a swimming pool with decking and pool-house on another and, lastly, a relaxation area, flower beds and a fishpond for the others.

A more than 140-hectare hunting estate with an 18th-century Provence farmhouse, in the Alpes de Haute-Provence area. The estate can be reached via a discrete tarmacked track that winds through the greenery to the entrance gate. Beyond the gate, the grounds of the vast, entirely fenced, 138-hectare estate, fully preserved from any hustle and bustle, are divided into two separate parts. An old edifice made from local stone and built in the 18th century can only be seen from inside the estate, tucked away in the centre of the first part of the grounds. The typical Provence farmhouse stands in the middle of meadows overlooking the valley. It is set around a central courtyard and includes several independent homes. There is a summer kitchen that is dominated by a swimming pool surrounded by a covered patio and a summer lounge, boasting a panoramic view over the Alpine relief. A second entrance on the Luberon side of the property can be reached by carefully maintained tracks. They also lead to almost 3 hectares of truffle oak trees whose produce is farmed and sold, as well as two lakes. As for the outbuildings, a large edifice contains several garages, a workshop and storage space for agricultural equipment. A well-structured kennel area is made up of twenty boxes, all of which are lit and boast a water supply. The water supply for the estate, which has become a crucial issue in southern France, is guaranteed by a 105-metre-deep borehole fitted with a submersible pump in 2020 that fills a 75-m³ water reserve equipped with a UV treatment system. Several springs and a traditional Provence stone well further enable the property to be self-sufficient in terms of water. The estate is connected to the electricity as well as telephone networks and also boasts potential for production of photovoltaic solar energy.

A large renovated house dating back to 1930 with a garden and outbuildings in the Cap Brun district of Toulon, a 10-minute walk from a beach. The house and its garden are separated from the street by tall trees and a stone wall with two metal gates. The plot is rectangular. The house stands on the site’s northern edge, leaving a vast unobstructed outdoor space in front of its south-facing facade. A garage and an outdoor utility room lie in the north-west corner and a shady terrace adjoins the house’s east wall. The entrance door is also on this east side. The dwelling was built in the interwar period. It has two floors and a semibasement. A hipped roof crowns it, underlined with a triple-row génoise cornice. The pale walls are roughcast-rendered. Evenly spaced rectangular windows punctuate the walls – some casements, others sliding windows. They are fitted with folding shutters that are painted green. The south-facing facade stands out for its large bay-window alcove with arched windows. Two balconies with colonnaded balustrades adorn the facade. One of them crowns the bay-window alcove. A third one, which is larger, protrudes above the entrance on the east side, above a series of columns and arches.

A 20th-century villa with outbuildings, a garden, swimming pool and panoramic views of the Mediterranean Sea, to the west of Marseille on the Blue Coast. Perched on a promontory, the land where the old mill once stood was gradually divided up in order to make room for several villas in the 1960s. All that remains from the former mill is a tower now encircled by the building complex, which has progressively been expanded over time. With the arrival of the train, followed by various services and amenities, the traditional lifestyle of this seaside village quickly transformed into a sought-out coastal resort town, while the proximity of the famous actor Fernandel once again increased interest in this holiday destination, secluded and yet close to several dynamic business hubs. With immaculate and rather massive architecture, including multiple building structures, but with an overall traditional appearance thanks to its ochre-colour plaster-coated exteriors, arched windows surrounded by ashlar stone as well as its barrel canal rooftops bordered by genoise cornices, the villa combines the character of yesteryear with modern comfort. As for its large glass doors and picture windows, they allow the natural light to bathe its interior and provide panoramic views of the sea, while inside, noble materials and soft tones were chosen in order to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere. In addition, the bedrooms, sizeable and sunny, were designed as individual sanctuaries, their bathrooms were tastefully decorated with several luxurious touches and the living areas, generous in size, are extended outdoors thanks to several sun-dappled patios, bordered by understated wrought-iron guardrails or stone balustrades, intended for convivial moments between family or friends as well as peaceful relaxation lulled by the wind in the pine trees. With a separate flat and recreational amenities, including an impressive swimming pool, which provide a sumptuous touch and augment the property’s inhabitable spaces, the latter seems as if to melt into the horizon like the bow of a ship, surrounded by an immense terracotta deck as well as a variety of outbuildings. Last, but not least, the garden, meticulously landscaped, is an invitation to stroll through its verdant pathways, while terraced areas lead to more intimate spaces, ideal for reading against the soothing soundtrack of the waves in the distance.

A villa designed by André Stern in the 6th arrondissement of Marseille, opposite Notre-Dame-de-la-Garde, with a panoramic view of the city and its bay . Situated on a rocky headland, the villa that its designer and first occupant christened 'The Eagle's Nest' certainly lives up to its name, taken from the name of the vegetable garden which it was built on. After climbing the steps of a typical Marseille street, once you have gone through the front door, a flight of brick steps framed by exotic vegetation such as a Japanese pagoda tree, cycas and ice plants runs along the rear facade and leads to the house entrance, which looks almost suspended above a limestone fault. The tone is set before you enter the vast premises: a huge patio door gives you a view of the character and architectural style of the curved building. More than 400 m² of living space has been designed to fit in with the landscape and environment, with a vast terrace and terraced garden that look out over the Mediterranean Sea. The architect, town planner and scenographer André Stern, a disciple of Le Corbusier, had this unusual house built for his family between 1984 and 1987, based on a 16th century Indian mandala design. The building’s architecture is unique, both in terms of its appearance and the materials used. It has an inverted half-shell roof with glulam beams, large round windows, a concrete and aerated concrete structure, geometric features repeated in rhythm, and even reflected in the shape of the swimming pool.

An 18th century house in the village of Valensole, with a roof terrace between the Alps and Le Verdon. This late 18th century house stands between two different streets, not far from the historic centre of the village. The large fountain, its surrounding basin and the washery on the main square, all of which are classed as historical monuments, are from the same era. The building is attached to the neighbouring houses on either side and has two façades, one to the west and the other to the east. Each façade overlooks a street but at a different level, giving the house its unique character. This stone-built house was erected around 1765 and is said to have belonged to the Villeneuve family, a member of which was an illustrious admiral who served under Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte. It is topped by a gabled tiled roof and has six storeys, two of which are below one of the street levels. The main entrance, on the western façade, is in a peaceful street, only a few steps from the village square, which is very lively in summer, with shops selling specialities of Provence and restaurants. In the façade, there is a carved solid wood door, which still has its original lock, adorned with a knocker. Above the door, there is a fanlight window decorated with ironwork bearing the Villeneuve monogram. Over the ironwork, a heart adorned with a fleur-de-lys engraved in the arch of the stone framing completes the ensemble. The house still has its original rendering on the main entrance side.

A 19th century townhouse in Le Castellet in Provence, with a floor area of 300 m² and panoramic views over the vineyards and the sea . The upper section of the house - the ground floor with terrace and upper floor - totalling almost 200 m², could be sold separately for €660,000. Once you have entered the village, admired the 17th-century wash-house and crossed the Place des Remparts, there is direct access to the lower part of the house - level B-2. Alternatively, once you have passed through the “Portalet” - the old fortified gateway - and followed the alleyways for 80 metres, you can reach the ground floor via the main entrance situated in the centre of the village. The terraced house has a four-storey southern facade. At once bright, impressive and graceful, it features two turrets framing the large terrace. This 18th- or 19th-century complex of almost 300 m², built atop the old ramparts, exudes a certain aesthetic and visual balance. The two-storey northern facade resembles a sober, generous 'bourgeois' residence. Its typical Provence style monk-and-nun tiled roof is bordered by a triple cornice of shortened tiles. Although most trips are made on foot to take full advantage of the pedestrianised streets and close proximity to shops in the village, a car can be parked along the south-facing facade. The public and residents' car park is around 150 m away.
