Maison à vendre, 500m², Le Val

Description

Set among vineyards and forests in a quiet, unhurried corner of the Var, this historic stone mas of approximately 500 m² sits on over a hectare of grounds planted with olive and fruit trees. Facing due south, it has been carefully restored with a genuine feel for traditional materials – stone, wood, travertine – and the result is a house with real character rather than merely renovated bones. The ground floor is built for generous living. A handsome entrance leads into a substantial dining room with its own wine cellar, a beautifully appointed sitting room centred on an original fireplace, and a remarkable kitchen – the heart of the house – with a travertine central island, bespoke wooden cabinetry, a cut-stone sink and a serious range cooker. An original ironwork veranda, a back kitchen and a large workshop opening onto a shaded terrace complete the level. Upstairs, the accommodation is spread across two wings. The main wing offers a spacious bedroom, a shower room, and a master suite with bathroom and dressing room, as well as a sitting room and an office lined with beautiful wooden bookshelves. The second wing provides an additional bedroom and a fully independent apartment with its own living room, kitchen, bedroom and shower room – ideal for guests, extended family or rental. Outside, a stone swimming pool and pool house, a kitchen garden and direct access to riverside walks make the most of the setting. Despite the rural calm, the motorway is quickly accessible the coast and Hyères airport are around 45 minutes away, and Aix-en-Provence around 50.
