Tourrettes - Exceptional Provencal Bastide

What happens when a talented interior designer buys and renovates a charming old bastide dating from 1886? He creates a one of a kind 320m2 provencal property, set in 24,000m2 of grounds, with multiple terraces, mature gardens and old olive trees, with a pool area that most 5 star hotels could only dream about, all of it with panoramic views of the country side and the famous Terre Blanche resort. From the very moment you enter through the gate, driving along the stone paved private road bringing you up to the property, you come to realise what an exceptional place it is. From the entrance door and hall, a breakfast corner and fully equipped open plan kitchen equipped with Gaggenau. The quality of the kitchen and its design and ease of use, is a result of the current owners love of food. There is space for the addition of a walk- in fridge should the future owner wish for such an upgrade. With access to the outside terraces, a double living room cathedral ceiling heigh and stone fireplace. From the second lounge seating area, couple of steps down, one enters into the dining area, with an oversized dining table fitting 16-18 people, fireplace and a professional walk-in wine cellar. The finishings and furnishing render the place magic, and the all important view always there to remind you of the beauty of the provencal hills. Outside, a large terrace with lounge area, as well as an overbuilt dining area for those warm summer lunches and evening meals. A couple of stairs down from the main terrace, an 18 x 7 meter overflow salt based swimming pool, and a stone pool house with lounge area and fitted summer kitchen. Behind the pool house, shower room and sauna. The terraced area around the pool allows for a large number of guests. Upstairs, under lofted ceiling, a bedroom with separate bathroom, a passage along and above the living room brings you to a second bedroom. Master bedroom and large shower room, opening onto a wooden terrace. The property also offers two independent suites with separate access for guests. Large garage and storage area at the end of the driveway. The property due to its large plot of land, could easily fit a private tennis court, a project that would need planning permission, and there is also an existing guest house of 75m2 that could be developed. The property is within a 45 minute drive to Nice Airport, 5 minutes short walk to the village with restaurant, baker and wine bars, and for Golf, 5 minutes in a car to reach the renowned Terre Blanche Country club and hotel.
