A MANSION AND ITS WINE ESTATE IN GREEN PROVENCE Perched on the heights of Besse-sur-Issole, the mansion overlooks a landscape of vineyards, forests, and hills that seems to stretch all the way to the horizon. Surrounding it, nearly 94 hectares form a distinct territory, shaped by vine cultivation and the rhythm of the seasons. A place where Provençal agricultural history remains deeply alive, blending heritage, nature, and winemaking expertise. A MANSION AT THE HEIGHT OF THE ESTATE Upon arrival, a discreet driveway winds through the grounds before reaching the estate's higher elevations. There, the manor house reveals its understated and elegant silhouette, facing the vineyards and the surrounding countryside. Built in the late 17th century, it offers nearly 340 m² of living space organized around spacious reception rooms and several bedrooms spread across different levels. The spaces retain the spirit of grand Provençal country estates, where architectural simplicity harmonizes naturally with the beauty of the landscape. From the terraces and French gardens, the view sweeps over the rows of vines, wooded hills, and the rolling hills of the Provence Verte. Just a few steps from the house, the pool extends this special connection with the outdoors and offers a permanent vantage point over the estate. A caretaker's house located at the entrance to the property completes this historic ensemble, a testament to the traditional layout of large Provençal agricultural estates. A LANDSCAPE SHAPED BY VINES Rarely does an estate offer such landscape continuity. Here, the plots extend over more than 94 hectares in a single block, forming a cohesive landscape where vineyards, farmland, and wooded areas create a typically Mediterranean mosaic. Nearly 26 hectares are currently planted with vines. Grenache, Cinsault, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Vermentino, Mourvèdre, and Carignan all contribute to the vineyard's diversity and the identity of the wines produced on the estate. Over 60% of the land is covered by the Côtes de Provence appellation, affirming the estate's roots in one of the great wine-growing regions of southern France. The rolling terrain, clay-limestone soils, and preserved natural environment create a particularly harmonious balance. At any time of day, the Provençal light enhances the views and highlights the depth of the landscape. GREEN PROVENCE AS A TERRITORY OF EXPRESSION The estate is more than just a residence amidst the vineyards. It retains all the elements that define a true wine-growing estate. The working buildings include a winery, storage areas, an old cellar, a wine tasting room, and the equipment necessary for managing the vineyard. This layout allows one to appreciate the estate as a whole, from vine cultivation to production. The potential extends beyond the existing vineyards. More than eight additional hectares are now available for new plantings, offering opportunities for growth while preserving the site's balance. Less than an hour from the Mediterranean coast, between Toulon, Aix-en-Provence, and the expansive landscapes of central Var, the estate is situated in a more secluded part of Provence. A Provence of hills, villages, and vineyards, where nature retains its rightful place and where the estates still tell the story of their land. AGENCY OPINION Some properties appeal because of their location. Others because of their history or agricultural potential. This estate brings all these elements together within a single landscape. The presence of a manor house overlooking the vineyards, the 94-hectare estate, the French-style gardens, the farm buildings, and the quality of the vineyard come together to form a particularly cohesive whole. A place designed to last, deeply rooted in the wine-growing culture and landscapes of the Provence Verte.
