A 250-m renovated Provencal farmhouse and its swimming pool on nearly 6 hectares, surrounded by nature in the hills near Toulon. Facing south and bordered by a large swimming pool to the southwest, the house overlooks an immense open expanse of farmland planted with a variety of different trees. From the B road, invisible and inaudible from the property, a private tarmacked drive gently descends over approximately 200 metres towards the farmhouse after skirting the terraced garden supported by dry stone walls. As for the farmhouse itself, braced by buttresses on its southeast corner and main faade as in the old days, it was laid out lengthwise with one storey to the east and two storeys to the north and west. In addition, the house's ochre roughcast walls are topped with gable roofs in large part, recently redone and clad in barrel tiles, while the house's windows are safeguarded by new white aluminium shutters and a wrought-iron arbour adorned by climbing wisteria provides shade for the patio, which skirts the house's garden level.Abutting the dwelling on its western side is a garage, while a carport to the northeast, incorporated into the farmhouse structure itself, makes it possible to park two vehicles lengthwise. Besides an immense living room topped with a mezzanine, as well as a large kitchen and study, three bedrooms are accessible on the house's garden level, while two others are located upstairs on the house's northern side.As for the 12 x 6-metre swimming pool with a depth of 2.5 metres, it is surrounded by a flagstone deck and, like the house, overlooks the neighbouring countryside, while the machine room for the swimming pool, below, is also topped with a barrel tile roof.Trapezoidal in shape, the property, with the farmhouse at its centre, includes several terraced gardens built up against the gentle slope of the hillside and supported by stone walls, the height of which never exceed one metre, while, in addition to the remarkable eucalyptus tree in front of the house, live oaks have also been planted throughout the property and the terraced gardens contain olive, fig and strawberry trees. Lastly, on the property's lowest section, a small pine forest acts as a natural property line.
