You pass through the gate and the road disappears behind the palm trees. Built in 1984 by an architect, this villa in Le Castellet is unlike any other Provençal house in the area: open volumes, split levels and a light-filled mezzanine. Around it, 1,879 m² of botanical garden planted over forty years. And less than five minutes away, the primary school, the secondary school, the shops and the motorway. That is what makes this address so rare: you live surrounded by greenery, without ever needing the car for nothing.
The living area: architecture that breaks the mould
An entrance hall leads to a 22.15 m² living room and a 14.60 m² sitting room, both opening south onto the terrace, the pool and the vineyard views. Three steps down, the open kitchen and dining room (23.74 m²) connect with the pantry and the north terrace, in the shade for summer lunches. This interplay of levels, typical of 1980s architecture, gives each space its own atmosphere without ever closing off the house.
The sleeping area, all on one level
Everything happens on the ground floor. A 13.78 m² bedroom opens directly onto the pool side. The master suite has its own large private shower room and a walk-in wardrobe. A hallway and a separate WC complete this sleeping area, designed for family life without stairs every day.
Upstairs: the mezzanine library
Upstairs, an 11.60 m² mezzanine serves as a study and library, open to the volumes below. It leads to a 7.68 m² attic room (study, guest room or playroom) and a shower room with WC. Under the roof, an attic provides real storage space.
The separate annexe: having guests without getting in each other's way
With its own outside entrance, a 13.26 m² bedroom converted from the former garage, with its own shower room and WC. Ideal for a teenager who wants some independence, visiting parents or friends in summer. Next to it, a 10 m² garage serves as a laundry room and keeps the washing and the technical equipment out of the house.
1,879 m² of botanical grounds
This is what stays with you when you leave. A garden of rare maturity, where old palm trees, sculptural yuccas and spectacular cacti grow alongside Mediterranean species. You cannot buy a garden like this: it takes decades to grow one. The masonry pool, in full sun, looks out over the vineyards and hills. Two terraces share the day: south-facing for the sun, north-facing in the shade for summer meals. Along the paths: a pergola against the bamboo grove, a built-in barbecue, dry-stone terraces and a garden shed. Parking is easy within the property.
The location: country living, without the constraints
Living in the countryside without needing the car for every loaf of bread is what most families moving to the area are looking for. Here, you have it:
- Le Plan-du-Castellet, Le Beausset and the village of Le Castellet less than 5 minutes away.
- Primary school, secondary school and school bus right nearby.
- Motorway access in less than 5 minutes.
What you should know before visiting: being so close to everything means being near a departmental road. It can be heard from some parts of the grounds. Once in the garden, the vegetation and the country feel largely take over. We prefer to tell you here rather than have you discover it during the viewing: it is the trade-off for a location that makes everyday life easier.
