Hyères, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur 83400

A grand 19th-century house with a 4, 500m garden and a half-hectare winegrowing plot, nestled among vineyards, just five minutes from the Mediterranean Sea. The property is demarcated with outer walls. You enter it from a lane that also takes you to an organic vineyard. The entrance gate leads into the property's flat, rectangular garden. This tree-dotted garden covers 4, 500m and extends from two sides of the house. On the right, a few steps take you to a terrace, from where you can step through the house's entrance door beneath a porch supported with two columns. At the bottom of the garden, there is a garage for four vehicles. And a covered swimming pool lies beside the terrace near the house's south elevation. The house was built in 1840. It stands at the northern edge of its plot and faces south. This harmonious edifice has a ground floor and a first floor. For a long period, it belonged to a family of local notables. The dwelling has a hipped roof of barrel tiles, underlined with a double-row gnoise cornice. It has rendered sand-toned elevations, punctuated with evenly spaced openings: five large-paned windows along the first floor and five large-paned glazed doors along the ground floor, all fitted with folding shutters painted green. In 1990, the house was extended with an additional section. This extension has a ground floor and a first floor with a south-facing terrace. This additional section extends the main section and blends into the latter in a well-proportioned, balanced design, offering an extensive home with a 350m floor area. The property belongs to an agricultural company and enjoys use of water from the Canal de Provence. An adjoining winegrowing plot is part of the grounds too. The neighbouring vineyard estate cultivates this plot and, for this, enjoys a loan for use.
