A gate opens onto a driveway which leads to the house; the park is situated slightly below. Palm trees, pines and olive trees adorn this relatively flat terrain extending over 4,200 m². It includes a wooden shed which can be used as garage, a pond, a petanque court and a swimming pool. Various terraces, facing south, east and west, surround the residence and connect to the outdoors.
The house, built in 1987 with high quality materials, offers a substantial surface area exceeding 280 m². This is a traditional style bastide of limestone rubble masonry, warm and without frills, in keeping with the local architecture.
It consists of two main aligned sections, each spanning two levels. The first one, bordered by a large terrace to the south, is located on the lower part of the property. The second, erected on the upper part of the site, is taller than the first. The residence comprises several volumes, square or rectangular in plan, topped by one, two or four-sided monk-and-nun tile roofs, enhanced by Genoise friezes. A large number of mostly arched, sometimes straight, large-paned windows and glass doors are fitted with white-painted shutters. The frames of the openings are of exposed stone, as are the walls.

The bastide

Today, the bastide is divided into a private part, occupied by the current owners, in the first section of the building, and a rental part, comprising a gîte and guest rooms, in the second section. The different dressed stone facades present heights, shapes and openings of various sizes, asymmetrical and yet harmonious. The rear facade to the west, not far from the swimming pool, has three arched windows on the first floor and a patio door on the garden level. The main entrance to the private part of the residence projects out to the front and features a large picture window.
The eastern facade features sliding glass doors in the conservatory, a slightly arched window, and other openings with a large glass door in the lower part, three glass doors in the upper part and two arched windows on the first floor.

The garden-level floor
The driveway leads from the gate to the rear of the house, where the main entrance is located, not far from the garden and the swimming pool. A few small steps lead down to a stone porch which is the entrance to the house, in its lower, private part. The entrance door opens onto a hall followed by an imposing living room with cathedral ceiling, which houses a large dining room and a sitting room. The latter is heated by a fireplace with a stone and brick base, masonry hearth and mantle. A passageway at the opposite end of the living room leads to a study, a bedroom and its private bathroom with bathtub and shower, a laundry room and a toilet. The living room connects to a very spacious and bright fitted kitchen. This opens onto a conservatory to the east of the house, which provides access to the garden and a large terrace on the south side with a wisteria-covered pergola. This is the secondary entrance to the bastide. A small terrace on the upper part of the house leads to an independent studio with a kitchenette and a bedroom with shower room. A flight of stairs from this terrace leads to a duplex flat comprising a kitchen, a living room, a bedroom with shower room and separate toilet. On the garden level, there are two separate bedrooms with en-suite shower rooms, one on the east side and one on the west side. The floors on the ground floor are all laid with modern, light-coloured tiles, different in each room; the ceilings have exposed beams and joists painted in white, grey or blue, except in the kitchen where the wood has been left untouched.
The first floor
A wooden staircase leads from the sitting room to the first floor, where a mezzanine serves a bedroom with wide strip parquet flooring and exposed rough beams. A spiral wooden staircase starting in the kitchen of the duplex flat provides access to a large bedroom in the attic. This is an extensive sleeping area with high ceilings and a very spacious surface area. The imposing and exposed roof structure has been painted white to contrast with the parquet floor and give character to this bedroom under sloping ceilings.
