Property Fayence (83)

A former sheep barn turned into a charming, renovated home in a vast, beautiful garden, nestled in natural surroundings near the town of Fayence in the south of France. You reach the property via a country lane that leaves the D219 secondary road linking Fayence to Tourrettes. The start of this lane is lined with a few villas. It then leads out of the village and climbs up to a vast plateau that is almost flat. This plateau offers a commanding view. There you find extensive olive groves and woods of downy oaks. From here, you can enjoy sweeping vistas of the surrounding hills. You can even see the sea from some spots.
The property is positioned in a central location on this plateau. It is made up of a former olive grove that has been turned into a garden and a sheep barn that has been masterfully renovated with great care. From the former Roman road, a lane lined with olive trees leads to a traditional building made of local stone that gradually comes into view through the vegetation as you approach it. This rectangular structure with a single upper floor is fairly large, which underlines its agricultural past. Its south-facing facade features two flights of stone steps in the middle of it that lead up to meet each other at the top. This facade is punctuated with windows and French windows with wooden shutters. Its gable roof is covered with monk-and-nun tiling with single-row génoise eaves.
The grounds that extend around the house have been turned into a beautiful garden where an olive grow once was. This garden is an oasis of greenery among olive trees with a variety of shrubs, succulents and fruit trees that have been planted to form an original lush backdrop.
