Stunning charming bastide in the heart of olive grove
Just a few minutes from the Mediterranean coastline and the picturesque medieval village of Valbonne, this remarkable bastide, believed to date from 1872 (as indicated by a stone marking on site), is nestled in the heart of a preserved and private natural setting.
Facing south, the house offers approximately 400 sqm of living space, including six beautiful bedrooms. It has been carefully renovated in keeping with its original, authentic character, using high-quality materials such as traditional terracotta floor tiles and exquisite reclaimed stone elements.
Set within a flat olive grove of around 1.7 hectares, this charming property elegantly embodies the Provençal art of living and invites you to enjoy the gentle lifestyle of the South of France.
Accompanied by the song of cicadas, it provides an idyllic setting for relaxation—whether by the pool or on one of the shaded terraces, delicately draped with wisteria, with soothing views stretching across lavender in bloom. A true invitation to serenity on the French Riviera.
At the center of the main façade, a timeworn solid wood door opens onto a hallway leading, on one side, to a games room, and on the other, to an intimate sitting room extended by a study.
Faithful to traditional southern French architecture, the bastide is designed with a southern orientation while preserving interior coolness and tranquility. Carefully placed openings filter the sunlight and offer beautiful views over the grounds and the pool. The décor, inspired by the Provençal spirit, subtly blends authenticity with contemporary touches, in a palette of soft, natural tones that enhance the peaceful atmosphere.On the first floor, the reception area comprises a living room with fireplace and a library, both opening onto a charming covered terrace.
A delightful Romeo and Juliet balcony extends the spacious and welcoming kitchen, which flows harmoniously into a warm dining area and has been designed in respect of traditional craftsmanship.
The second floor hosts the principal suite, featuring a fireplace, a generous bathroom and a dressing room, all in a simple and authentic style perfectly in keeping with the character of the house. Two additional bedrooms and a shower room complete this level.
On the top floor, two further large bedrooms share a full bathroom with both bathtub and shower.
Finally, an independent duplex apartment, including a kitchen, a bedroom and a bathroom, enhances the amenities of this exceptional residence.
The property also benefits from a carport, ample parking space for several vehicles, and a garage in the garden.
