This private residence made up of fifteen villas dotted here and there, located on the edge of the Valescure golf club, emerges from among the pines once through the secure access gate. A wooden gate opens into the property, which is located on the valley side. A rough stone paved drive enables vehicles to reach the garage situated a short way below the villa and to reach the entrance of the house, whose western façade is only visible at first.
On an approximately 1,750-m² plot, the L-shaped villa situated in the centre of the property boasts a covered, basket-arched arcade-lined patio to the south that resembles a two-sided cloister. The villa, which was erected by a master builder in 1965, is made up of several sections, some with gabled roofs, others with hipped roofs, all made of half-round tiles and underlined by a single or double genoise corbel. The walls are covered with ochre coloured cladding, giving the house a Tuscan air. Quality, space, brightness and views of greenery, including the garden made of several terraces and the wooded golf course stretching off into the distance, were the watchwords in the design of this residence. It is mostly a single storey edifice, apart from in the northeastern corner, where the upper floor gives it somewhat the look of a watchtower. It is protected from hustle and bustle, especially by the surrounding greenery, and is lulled by the peace and quiet of nature.

The house

This 230-m² house is a construction of remarkable quality, made by a master builder. Everything here points to excellent building know-how and particular care in construction, whether in terms of the materials used – such as tiles, stone and wrought iron – or the shapes and volumes of the rooms. The harmony it exudes is perceptible, especially on the covered patio, which is reminiscent of the walkway around a cloister.

The ground floor
The entrance door, which can be found beneath a porch whose columns herald those on the veranda, has two leaves with moulded panels and antique ironwork, including a catch and latch system with a handle mounted on a rosette.
The hall is bathed in light and opens in two directions: to the right, there are the reception rooms one after the other, and opposite, there is the veranda and garden. The vaulted ceiling and floor paved in travertine stone slabs point to the monastic-inspired architectural style of the place. The first, long shaped, approximately 40-m² room has three lattice windows and includes a dining area and lounge / reading room. It leads, via three steps, to the second lounge, also measuring 40 m², with exposed beams on the ceiling, a stone fireplace fitted with a wood-burning insert, terracotta floor tiling and a large picture window. To the right, an alcove illuminated by light streaming through three vaulted windows with stained glass, featuring geometric and floral patterns in shades of gold and green, contributes to the intimate and intricate décor. To the left of the entrance, there is a kitchen followed by a utility room. A corridor leads to a first bedroom, which has been transformed into an office, after which there is a veranda and a space made up of a walk-in wardrobe, leading to a second bedroom next to a bathroom with a lavatory.
The upstairs
A stone staircase with an ironwork balustrade climbs up to a landing, which leads to two bedrooms with Arenberg wood flooring, whose various colours delicately enhance the geometric patterning. Next to the two bedrooms, there is a bathroom, with a shower and a lavatory, tiled from floor to ceiling with cream/beige tiles.
The basement
This level has a surface of approximately 36 m² and includes a utility room, gardening room and a boiler room. It also has direct access to the garden. An elaborate system of pulsed air ventilation ducting distributes hot and cool air throughout the house according to the season. It was installed before 2015, is in a good working condition but nonetheless requires work to bring it in line with recent standards that prohibit R22 gas.
The garage
Following on from the basement, an approximately 73-m² garage has capacity for two vehicles and also boasts plenty of storage space. A large sliding door leads outside onto the rough stone paved drive leading to the entrance gate.
