A 19th-century Provencal farmhouse with a guesthouse, a 4,000-m² garden zoned for construction, a swimming pool and tennis court, 500 metres from the sea, in a quiet neighbourhood between Le Pradet and the Cap Brun.
The property is located in the southwest of the Var department, by the sea near Toulon, and in the southeast of the Sainte-Baume Regional Natural Park. With approximately 180,000 inhabitants and part of the Toulon-Provence-Mediterranean metropolis, the department's administrative centre includes the largest harbour in Europe, overlooked by Mount Faron, and boasts many cultural activities that continue to grow in number each year. As for the property, it is located in a sought-out residential neighbourhood, 500 metres from the coast and within proximity to various bus lines and bicycle paths. In addition, it is 20 minutes from the Toulon-Hyères airport and 15 minutes from the high-speed rail station, which provides service to Marseille in 40 minutes, Nice in less than one hour and 50 minutes and Paris in 3 hours and 50 minutes.
The property is accessible via a gate, flanked by old stone pillars and topped with a small barrel tile gable roof, which opens onto a gravel drive, as well as a separate pedestrian door, located several metres above. Immediately past the gate are the garage and the guesthouse, followed by the Provencal farmhouse with its swimming pool and tennis court to the south.
The main dwelling, facing south, is made up of a 19th-century two-storey construction on its western side, cadenced with four windows/doors on each floor, one of which opens onto a terracotta tile patio, which acts as a transition between the dwelling and the garden. As for its understated exteriors, built out of stone and coated in white plaster, all except for the basement level, they are punctuated by rectilinear windows with terracotta windowsills and green-painted wooden shutters, while the barrel tile gable roof is bordered with a double genoise cornice. In addition, a one-storey extension topped with a three-sided roof, added in the 20th century on the eastern side of the 19th-century dwelling, is bathed in abundant natural light thanks to two windows and glass double doors and contains a bedroom, while the property's outbuildings can be found to the north of the dwelling near a well surrounded by stones and a conservatory, which spans a large section of the house's garden level.
Lastly, the grounds, enclosed by walls or fencing, are blanketed in lawn and planted with a number of trees, both multi-century and fruit-bearing, featuring all the species endemic to the region.
