This traditional Bergerie is close to the Lac de Carcès, and only 10 minutes to the village. However, it is surrounded by nature, a variety of fruit trees, and has no neighbours nearby.

A fully renovated traditional farmhouse in the hills above Le Beausset, surrounded by 2 2 ha of terraced olive groves, with views of the sea and mountains. From the village to which the property belongs, the road winds through the vineyards for approx. 3km before turning into a well-maintained track of roughly 400m. There are two entrances to the grounds of the property. The first is via a stately wrought iron gate opening onto a long gravel driveway that leads up to the house, along a wide “restanque” (terraced area) and past a garage with two large arched doors. The second entrance provides access to a carport for three vehicles via the same terraced area alongside the house. The farmhouse is L-shaped, with the main frontage facing south-west. The 1973 structure has a floor area of some 230m² and was built using traditional materials, primarily bare stone. The central section has an upper storey and the two wings open onto terraces via numerous French windows. There is a vast swimming pool on a restanque down below. Lastly, some 300 olive trees and a number of other tall trees stand on the many other terraces below the house and in the upper part, right up to the edge of a coniferous forest that borders the property.
