Description

Located in the heart of the inland Var, this exceptional estate of approximately 160 hectares reveals a powerful, elegant, and perfectly preserved vision of Provence.

A rare and inspiring living space where nature, elegance, and freedom meet, offering around 1,350 m2 of living space complemented by 900 m2 of outbuildings with multiple potential uses.

From the moment you pass through the gate, a majestic driveway lined with centuries-old oak trees leads to the heart of the property, gradually unveiling a remarkable landscape: around 600 olive trees, 60 almond trees, 450 truffle oaks, vast meadows, woodland, a pond animated by geese, a fish basin, these all combine to form a truly rare natural setting.

Three characterful buildings, full of charm and authenticity, define the estate:

- The Bastide, the main house of approximately 725 m2, features five bedrooms, each with its own bathroom or shower room, including one with a balneotherapy bathtub. It also offers an elegant reception area with generous volumes, a hammam, and a gym, all designed for a refined lifestyle.

- The Magnanerie, now a guest house of around 410 m2 with a lift/service elevator, includes a 150 m2 loft with a large living room and fireplace, dining area, and kitchen, two bedrooms with en-suite shower rooms, as well as three independent apartments: two comprising a living room with open kitchen, one bedroom, and a shower room, and a third offering two bedrooms, two shower rooms, a living room, and a kitchen. A charming and intimate setting, ideal for hosting guests in a warm and private atmosphere.

- A Bergerie, used as a guest house of approximately 210 m2, completes the property, featuring three bedrooms, one bathroom, one shower room, and a large garage of about 140 m2. Outside, the amenities are outstanding: a stable with five double horse boxes, a riding arena and lunging ring, areas dedicated to animals (including a chicken coop and agricultural potential), a garage for farming equipment, and a carport.

Leisure facilities further enhance the experience: a heated swimming pool, driving range and mini-golf, as well as a helipad suitable for ULM landings.

The estate benefits from valuable self-sufficiency:

- connection to mains water, borehole, water recovery system, and an additional natural spring
- a complete irrigation system connected to the borehole for much of the grounds
- multiple heating systems: wood boiler, oil-fired boiler, and heat pump
- a generator providing energy autonomy
- potential for full self-sufficiency depending on usage

Ideally located close to Tourtour, approximately 20 minutes from Draguignan, 40 minutes from Saint-Tropez by car (10 minutes by helicopter), and about 1 hour 30 minutes from Monaco (35 minutes by helicopter), the property enjoys excellent accessibility while maintaining absolute privacy.
