A former factory complex with three separate buildings to be renovated and a floor area of over 2,000m², on the outskirts of a village in France’s beautiful Verdon regional nature park. The property is an hour from Manosque, an hour and a half from Saint-Maximin-la-Sainte-Baume and an hour and a half from Aix-en-Provence’s high-speed rail station. The factory was built in the 1960s and extended in 1975. It is now made up of three separate buildings. The first one, on the property’s north side, is the oldest. It contains commercial premises on the ground floor and three apartments on the first floor. The two other buildings were built in 1975, south of the first one and in line with it. They contain industrial spaces that now need to be converted and renovated. The whole complex is made of breeze blocks covered with wall rendering. The buildings are crowned with gable roofs of monk-and-nun tiling. Their interiors are bathed in natural light that floods in through many openings: double-glazed doors and windows on the north, south and west sides. The ground of the outdoor areas was initially intended mainly for parking, storage and a flow of vehicles. They are mostly tarmacked or gravelled. The plot is edged with hedges punctuated with tall trees.
