VAR - Seillans: 625-square-meter Provençal farmhouse with pool, grounds, and historic studio

In the heart of the medieval village of Seillans, the Mas Saint-Roch holds a unique place in the history of 20th-century art. Much more than an artists' residence, this 625-square-meter property on 1.2 hectares of land is the culmination of a project conceived in 1967 by Dorothea Tanning and Max Ernst. Upon entering, the engraved motto “Patet Porta Sed Magis Cor” (“The door is open, but even more so the heart”) welcomes you. The residence elegantly blends Provençal, Venetian, and Surrealist influences, punctuated by imposing columns gifted by President Georges Pompidou. This exceptional home combines Provençal comfort with generous spaces. On the ground floor: The living areas are organized around a living room opening onto a covered terrace, a dining room, a kitchen, an office, and two en-suite bedrooms. The upper floor features its own reception area, three bedrooms, and two bathrooms. Adjacent to it, the studio—the estate's centerpiece, spanning over 200 m² and bathed in light—reveals a cathedral-style ceiling, original parquet flooring marked by history, and a mural by Tanning recently discovered beneath old wall hangings. Outside, the terraces and arcades open onto a remarkable panoramic view stretching from the village of Seillans to Fayence. A symbol of the location, the lock-shaped pool—designed by Max Ernst himself—was conceived so that the full moon would be perfectly reflected in it. Several terraces, a garage, and a carport complete this exceptional property. While situated in an environment of absolute tranquility, the property is just a few minutes from the sea and Nice Airport. A unique opportunity to acquire a place of art.
