Location
This property overlooking the sea is located in southeast France, in the Var area, in a peaceful residential district of Carqueiranne, just 2 km from the town centre and the marina. The Maures plain shapes the landscape to the north, while to the south, the Almanarre beach, Giens peninsula and island of Porquerolles form the sea blue horizon. The Pradon beach and its nearby small, wild coves are only several minutes away on foot.
All essential shops, services and facilities are within close reach, less than 1 km away. A high-speed rail station with TGV trains to Paris is just 30 minutes away by car. The Toulon-Hyères and Marseille-Provence airports are respectively 15 minutes and 1 hour fifteen minutes away.
Description
Farm greenhouses line the small coastal road that leads to the automatic gate at the main entrance to the property. The largest of the two houses can be reached to the right via a steep, light-coloured concrete track after approximately 150 metres, sitting in lush green surroundings. A paved path leads up to the entrance of this single storey house which is tucked away in the lush greenery.
The villa boasts a large basement with a garage extending off it and is surrounded by patios on three sides. It underwent a complete renovation at the beginning of 2010, possesses a roof made up of terra cotta half-round tiles and has ochre coloured rendering. This south-facing rectangular construction with a tower in the middle is set against the rocky hillside and covers total floorspace of almost 186 m². The second smaller single storey house with floorspace of approximately 120 m² can be found fifty metres to the left and boasts a south-facing patio as well as a parking space. It was built several years after the main house, in the middle of the 1980s.
Lastly, the remarkable garden was created by the current owner and contains many different Mediterranean plant, shrub and tree types, including around 100 palm trees in almost 3 hectares. Uninterrupted views of the sea close by can be enjoyed from the sloping wooded grounds, in which there are two ponds and a swimming pool.

The main house
This single storey home was built in 1979 and is surrounded by three patios, one of which boasts a view of the sea to the south, another possesses a pergola to the north and the third houses a jacuzzi to the east. It was built in keeping with the Provence style, using quality materials, is in excellent condition and boasts modern furniture as well as air-conditioning.
The ground floor
The entrance is via a rotunda in the central tower, leading into a very spacious living room to the left and an open-plan kitchen to the right. Large French windows open onto the patio, sheltered under an awning covered in wisteria, which offers 180° views over the sea. A corridor leads to a toilet and two bedrooms. One of them has an en suite shower room with a toilet and the other boasts an en suite bathroom with a toilet. The corridor opens out into a vast space that includes the third bedroom, a walk-in wardrobe, a cloakroom, a bathroom with a jacuzzi, a shower and a toilet.
The basement
The basement is especially large and boasts the same surface as the ground floor. It includes a studio with a shower, toilet and kitchen, a fitness room, a cellar, a tool store, a cold store, a laundry room, a boiler room and an oil tank. The basement can be reached either via the studio or via the adjacent garage which has parking space for two vehicles.
The guests’ house
This single storey house was built in 1986, partially on the site of a previous construction. It includes a large living room with an open-plan kitchen, three bedrooms, two shower rooms and three toilets. It is in excellent condition. Like the other house, it boasts modern furniture and air-conditioning. Large patio doors open out onto a shaded south-facing patio with panoramic views of the sea.
The garden
This remarkably crafted garden, created by the current owner, spreads out over 2 hectares, blending native Provence plants, trees and shrubs with more exotic varieties. Walking through the garden is akin to visiting an art gallery, where a wealth of shades of green, such as the cypress trees, palm trees, fan palms and yucca, intersect and mingle with the blue agapanthus and brick red shrub verbena. This lush, green expanse hugs the relief of the hillside and includes terraces made up of zoysia and kikuyu grass lawns, flower beds and ponds. You only need to look upwards to admire the canopies of the palm trees and a 180° view of the sea. The Canal de Provence provides the water necessary for the irrigation sprinkler system, the ponds and the swimming pool. The area created around the pool and the summer house, equipped with a kitchen and a barbecue, is an especially popular place to relax when returning from the beach.
Our opinion
This rare property overlooking the sea, almost as if suspended above the Mediterranean, is a veritable haven of unspoiled nature between Toulon and Hyères. This multitudinously remarkable place can be summed up by the watchwords brightness, space, greenery and breathtaking views. It boasts an outstanding view of the sea and the islands on the horizon from the patio or infinity pool. Both of the modernly designed villas are surrounded by flower beds and their large living rooms are bathed with light.
The greenery spread over almost 3 hectares is a unique combination of pleasure garden and botanical park, imagined and created by the current owner. The property is bathed in Provence and exotic scents throughout, providing peace, quiet and comfort to the occupants and offering them the ceaseless pleasure of admiring the blue horizon as far as the eye can see.
