A single-storey house bathed in light, with a swimming pool and outbuildings, 20 minutes west of Toulon, in peaceful, enclosed, wooded, 5000-m² grounds.
This property, which is discretely tucked away in a calm environment, far from any hustle and bustle, is located in the Var area, to the west of Toulon, near to the medieval village of La Cadière-d'Azur and its picturesque narrow streets. The Sainte-Baume regional natural park, terraced landscape, Bandol PDO vineyards, Provence villages of Castellet, Bandol or Sanary and the Mediterranean Sea, with the bays at Saint-Cyr-les-Leques and La Ciotat, make it a much sought-after environment. The Frégate golf course and Paul Ricard race circuit further enhance local touristic possibilities. The motorway is less than 10 minutes away, the high-speed TGV train stations in Toulon and Marseille-Saint-Charles are respectively 25 and 45 minutes away by car, while flights to Paris and abroad can be taken from Toulon-Hyères and Marseille-Provence airports.
A small road winds its way to the around one hundred metre earthen track that climbs up to the automatic gate at the entrance to the property. The rectangular, more than 5,000 m² plot of land is entirely fenced and stretches over terraces that hug the relief. The main access, from the south, is via a drive that runs along the western limit of the property, sloping gently down to a gravelled parking area to the rear of the house. The single-storey house, standing virtually in the middle of the plot and boasting sections with gabled, half-hipped or hipped roofs made of barrel tiles, was built in 1999. Its white rendered facades are punctuated by many windows, some of which are fitted with olive green shutters. The south facing house is surrounded by a patio, covered by overhanging eaves, stretching to the east to a pergola, under which there is a summer dining area.
Further to the south, there is a swimming pool surrounded by stone and wooden decking. A flight of steps descends to a pétanque pitch located at the eastern edge of the property. An approximately 15-m² annex and a workshop occupy the rear, to the north, and can be reached by a second gate. The typically Mediterranean vegetation that is delicately dotted around the land ensures the house is tucked away from prying eyes.
The houseThe entrance is to the north, via a covered porch that also leads to the garage and the entrance door, which opens to the east into a long, approximately 47-m² living room in which there is an open plan kitchen, dining area and lounge. It is bathed in light thanks to two sliding patio doors, one of which, when open, is concealed within the wall. They open to the south onto the patio. To the rear, three other windows allow light to generously stream into the kitchen and dining area. The lounge is fitted with a wood burning stove and extends to the east where two large windows offer unobstructed views of the far-off hills.
Following on from and perpendicular to the lounge, a corridor with storage space leads to an independent sleeping area, which is made up of two approximately 11-m² bedrooms, each of which has east-facing French windows. There is also a shower room with a lavatory. On the other side of the entrance hall, there is a cloakroom, a guests' lavatory, a modestly sized office, a bedroom with two west facing French windows, as well as a master bedroom with an en suite shower room. The around 14-m² master bedroom has French windows opening to the east onto the patio as well as a south facing window.
