An exceptional property on 10 hectares of land in a single lot... See and feel with a new soul, a childlike soul... these Florence cypress trees which, in azure transparency, cut out their twisted flames, tracing their tall torches like a row of vertical lines painted in gouache on the bare sky, and then there are these scents, the freshness of nature carried on a breeze, the ballet of the scents of our south, a pause in time, a respite all to yourself, a way of life, a culture! This residence smells of colour, a sober, cosy colour, without frills, just the elegance of the necessary, the beauty of raw materials... all around, silence reigns, you can hear only bees and birds, the turbulent tenants of an estate of more than ten hectares planted with fruit trees, mulberry trees, olive trees and preserved spaces. This tall, imposing building with stone arches was built on the ‘balcony’ of Provence overlooking the Cévennes. Two spacious tiled swimming pools offer exceptional views over rolling wooded hills dotted with vineyards, and there are several large terraces, some of which are covered. There is 400m² of renovated living space with the potential for four separate dwellings, offering generous proportions and high ceilings in perfect harmony with the mineral atmosphere that permeates these walls, finished with magnificent terracotta flooring and wood panelling, a combination of warm materials that respects the centuries-old heritage of the property. Tucked away from view, this 15th-century property has approximately 420m² of outbuildings to be converted, offering scope for ambitious projects such as guest rooms or holiday cottages with a story to tell, as this farmhouse was once home to a community of artisans, master tapestry makers and and hand weavers working on mechanical looms in the purest tradition. There are so many discoveries to be made, so many excursions to enjoy, and such a wide range of outdoor pleasures for those who want to explore the Cèze valley, the Ardèche gorges, near the Uzège region, through the unusual villages that populate our regions, that it is impossible to list them all, but what is certain is that sometimes in the markets of Provence, vegetable sellers sing to anyone who will listen: ‘Here's some thyme from the garrigue, a little saffron and a kilo of figs for 100 francs. Would you like a nice tray of peaches or apricots?’ A privileged environment for lovers of peace and quiet, about 40 minutes from the Duchy of Uzès... Your contact: Julien Botella (0678945908).

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.

A renovated former silkworm farm, its wooded grounds and covered swimming pool, within the Cévennes National Park, in the south of the Lozère department. Just a couple of steps away from Florac’s downtown area and sheltered from view, the property, protected by a stone wall, extends over wooded grounds and is accessible via a gate, communicating with one of the village’s secondary roads, which leads to two buildings: the former silk farm and now the main dwelling, as well as an outbuilding that has been converted into a workshop. Between the two, a patio shaded by a trellis is an invitation to eat meals outside on nice days, whereas, further on and hidden behind the property’s first rows of trees, is a wooden chalet as well as a covered and heated swimming pool. In addition, at one end of the grounds, a second outbuilding was converted to accommodate visitors, while the property’s wide variety of trees and the breadth of its verdant foliage create, when strolling through the grounds, a succession of breath-taking and peaceful landscapes. Lastly, a second gate, located in the back of the property, makes it possible to park several vehicles without creating an eyesore for the dwelling’s inhabitants.

A stately dwelling and its enclosed garden in the middle of a village, recognised as a “Town of Character”, two hours from Paris, nestled within the Puisaye countryside. In a village with picturesque lanes lined with stately homes, one in particular stands out thanks to its many entrances: a painted ornate metal door opens on to the property’s garden, a wooden door topped with a fanlight is used as the dwelling’s front door, a restored double-leaf gate, near the outbuildings, provides vehicle access, while a final door is located in the back of the garden, surrounded by vegetation. In addition, a lovely flagstone patio skirts the dwelling on one side and, extending on from here, the grounds feature a stone bench, ideal for relaxing under the shade of the birches, as well as an ancient greenhouse, whereas a well surrounded by grass could be repurposed and an ancient drinking trough next to the woodshed provides an additional touch of charm to the premises. Lastly, a small path leads to a gravel drive, reserved for vehicle parking, located next to the outbuildings with their red shutters, the colour of which is identical to that of the double-leaf gate, while, sheltered from view, a small vegetable garden is planted with raspberry bushes as well as other fruits and vegetables.
