A villa, with potential for further expansion, a verdant 1,500-m² garden and a swimming pool, 900 metres from the sea, up in the heights of Cavalaire.
Located on the Var department's southeast coast, along the Mediterranean and facing the Iles d'Or (Porquerolles, Port-Cros and Le Levant), Cavalaire bay, which extends from Cape Nègre to Cape Lardier, is particularly renowned for its fine sandy beaches, while its nautical activities and unique and unspoilt coastal path, stretching over three kilometres, has turned it into a sought-out seaside resort on the Cote d'Azur.
Surrounded by beautiful and diverse landscapes, which fully participate in the Provencal dolce vita, the town is only thirty minutes away from Saint-Tropez, with its port, village and artists, whereas the Toulon-Hyères and Marseille-Provence international airports are accessible in either one or two hours by car, and Toulon, with its high-speed rail station, is a little more than an hour away.
From Le Rayol or La Croix-Valmer, the coastal road provides access to the residential neighbourhood of Le Parc de Cavalaire, where the property is located. Built on one of the town's hillsides, the dwelling, at the end of a no-through road and 900 metres from the sea, is nestled within an environment sheltered from all disturbances, both auditory and visual, while a tarmacked drive leads to two parking spaces along one side of the dwelling.
With an upstairs level that extends over half of its ground floor, the villa, of nearly 200 m², was constructed in 1983 overlooking its grounds, and then expanded the following year, whereas, Provencal in style, it features understated rubble stone exteriors coated in ochre plaster, asymmetrical rectilinear windows/doors, a barrel tile gable roof and a double genoise cornice.
On three of its sides, the dwelling is extended by a patio, including one, to the west, topped with a trellis making it ideal for al-fresco meals during summertime, while, in the foreground, abutting a terraced level surrounded by low dry stone walls, a rectangular swimming pool and its immense semi-circular deck provide wide vistas of the surrounding hillsides.
As for the meticulous and verdant garden, of approximately 1,500 m², it is planted with a pleasant variety of vegetation with, in particular, a Canary Island date palm, whereas, on the horizon, the sea can be glimpsed here and there through its lush vegetation.
With a living room, a dining room, a kitchen, a study, five bedrooms and two shower rooms, the villa abuts a former garage now transformed into a self-contained studio flat, of nearly 20 m², perfect for hosting family or friends, while the entire property enjoys a peaceful and luxuriant setting, typical of a seaside residence.
The VillaFrom the drive, several steps communicate with the stone patio, which then provides access to the dwelling, while its main entrance and multiple glass doors, from its ground floor living areas, ensure fluid circulation between its interior and the outdoors.
As for the ground floor, it features an immense living room, of approximately 40 m², with a terracotta tile floor, white walls, a floor-to-ceiling height of 7 metres, visible ceiling beams, a brick fireplace with a wood-burning stove and a wooden lintel as well as a masonry staircase with wooden nosing, which ascends to a mezzanine, whereas the fitted kitchen abuts a conservatory of the same size. From here, a few steps lead to the dining room, skirted by a covered patio, while a hallway leads to the two ground floor bedrooms, a shower room and lavatory.
Upstairs, the dwelling contains a study, located on the mezzanine, three bedrooms - including one with its own terrace providing beautiful views of the sea - as well as a shower room, whereas rectangular or hexagonal terracotta floor tiles can be found in most of the rooms, except in ...
