Entrecasteaux, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur 83570

Situated five minutes from the historic village of Entrecasteaux and its 12th-century chteau, halfway between the famous Provencal villages of Lorgues and Cotignac, and 40 minutes from the Mediterranean coast, this authentic property is set in almost 3 hectares of wooded, terraced land. It is an ideal place to live in absolute peace and quiet, with panoramic views over the Bresque valley and the Gros Bessillon mountain.From the forest road, the path winds up to the entrance with its large forged iron gate, continues through the trees and leads to the main house of around 250 m, built in 1980. Almost all on one level, the building exudes authentic old-world charm, thanks to the exposed wooden beams on the ceilings, terracotta floor tiles and floor-to-wall decoration of the bathrooms with glazed terracotta tiles by renowned ceramist Alain Vagh. The house has two entrance halls: one through the glass roof on the courtyard side and the other leading directly onto a large terrace on the pool side, bathed in sunshine all day long. There is a large living room with stone fireplace and bookcase, a large fitted kitchen and a office. On the other side, a small corridor leads to three bedrooms, each with its own bathroom.An additional independent living space including a small lounge, bedroom, shower room and veranda can be accessed from the outside via the open-air patio.A bit further on, a guardian's house of around 55 m, now houses a cosy 3-room flat that includes a small kitchen opening onto a living room with a fireplace and two bedrooms with shower room, as well as a studio of around 35 m.The covered terrace, built of local stone, overlooks a large 12x6 m swimming pool overhanging a restanque, with a wide tiled beach, and below is a pool house with barbecue and summer kitchen so you can enjoy the pool and the garden to the full. On the south side of the house, there are lots of places to relax and unwind.Modern features such as a tennis court, petanque court, fibre optic cables, garage, automatic watering system, double glazing and outdoor parking complete the ensemble, while retaining its Provencal soul. Its proximity to picturesque, lively villages is a privilege, as is its rapid access to many Provencal sites: Gorge de Verdon (40 min), Saint-Tropez (50 min), numerous Chteaux and wine estates, beaches (40 min) and ski resorts (2 h). Les Arcs Tgv station is 30 minutes away, Nice airport is just over 1 hour, and the motorway is around 30 minutes away.The complex is ideal for a number of destinations: a family residence, rental or event activity.
