vineyard with pool for sale La Cadière-d'Azur, France

An authentic 19th century farmhouse in need of renovation, surrounded by 2 4 ha with tenanted vineyard, olive groves, caretaker's lodge and swimming pool, west of Toulon and 10 minutes from the sea. Tucked away between rolling hills and terraced meadows in the heart of the Bandol vineyards, the farmhouse cannot be seen from the little-used local road that encircles the property. From there, the earthen driveway, lined with olive, pine and cypress trees, leads for a few dozen metres past a few parking spaces between and under the trees, to the western side of the mas. The terraced gardens of the 2.4 hectare estate are planted with vines, olive trees and woods, which have replaced cereals and fragrant flowers. The 19th century former farmhouse has a floor area of approx. 230 m² extending over two levels. It comprises two sections that follow the contours of the grounds. An arbour protects the terrace, which is paved with square and rectangular terracotta tiles and runs along the main façade, providing shelter from the summer heat. Extending from the terrace is a threshing floor with a diameter of 12 m, which is listed as an outstanding rural heritage feature. This reminder of the residence's agricultural past is enclosed by a low stone wall. The western end of the building contains a barn with an attached garden shed, while the eastern end, given the gradient of the ground, tops the cellar and the caretaker's lodge. The main roughcast facade features small-paned, rectangular windows with celadon green painted wooden shutters, and a bull's eye window on the first floor. The gable or three-pitched (for the eastern part of the farmhouse) monk-and-nun tiled roofs are edged with a cornice of two rows of shortened tiles.
