Welcome to paradise!
This is a superb and rare opportunity to purchase a beautifully renovated farmhouse, nestled in the Var countryside, surrounded by forest.
As soon as you drive through the electric gates and along the gravel driveway at this estate, you realise you have arrived at somewhere special, an oasis of tranquility, tucked away in Provence.
This totally charming home was formerly the summer residence of Eric Clapton CBE. It stands in more than 4 hectares (nearly ten acres) of private, flat and beautifully landscaped grounds and the exquisitely decorated home offers around 600m2 (around 6.500 square feet) of warm and welcoming living space.
Some of the features include a private tennis court, huge overflow swimming pool, boules court, gym and cinema room. Quiet location, just a few minutes from a championship golf course, within easy reach of several Provencal villages, approximately 35 kilometres from the wonderful seaside resort of Cassis and around an hour from both Marseille and Aix en Provence.
The well laid out accommodation includes a beautifully appointed open plan kitchen and dining area with access to a large outdoor terrace. Huge, impressive triple living room with cathedral ceiling, feature fireplace and grand sliding French windows, which not only provide great light and views, but can be rolled back to provide immediate access to the main terrace, gardens and pool area. There are two other cosy living areas and a TV room so there is plenty of space for friends and family to relax.
10 bedrooms and 9 bathrooms divided between the ground floor, garden level and an adjacent annex building near the pool; all are spacious, comfortable and tastefully presented with stylish bathrooms. Also on the garden level , there is a fully sound-proofed cinema room and a large utility/laundry room and storage.
Outdoors – the large, private and fully fenced grounds are made up of a combination of manicured lawns, woodland, a lavender field, landscaped flower gardens, sunny and shady terraces and an excellent range of facilities including tennis court, boules pitch, gym and a huge heated overflow swimming pool – This property really has everything.
