The property is located at the top of a hill. An electric gate leads into it. Beyond this gate, a gravel drive leads to the house, which lies at a lower level, and then to a solid timber construction where three cars can be sheltered. The interior of the villa was entirely redesigned in 2024 by the interior design agency Vaissié Studio. It offers a 390m² floor area and reveals a new harmony from its full renovation. Old and modern materials are brought together elegantly. They include polished concrete, lime plastering, walnut, beechwood and natural stone. Each room looks out at a panoramic vista that spans more than 180 degrees. The natural light and views create an aspect that recalls the spirit of feng shui. The hillside dwelling looks out at the River Garonne valley. Indeed, you are struck by this breathtaking view from the moment you step through the entrance door. The villa is spread out over three levels. It is extended with terraces that outline it and invite you the contemplate the surrounding landscape. A few split-level rooms that are subtly arranged seem to hang in mid-air. Huge picture windows, most of which slide open, make it easy to move smoothly between the inside and outside. A polished terrazzo floor extends across most of the indoor spaces and goes well with the lime-coated walls tinged with pale pink. And the villa’s flat roofing is punctuated with gravel here and there.

The villa

The ground floor
A broad glazed door set in a walnut frame leads into the home. When you step inside, you are struck by a spectacular view: your gaze is naturally drawn down to a swimming pool, which you can see through big picture windows, and, beyond the pool, the River Garonne valley. This entrance space, which opens out into the lower level, includes a cloakroom, a lavatory and many in-built storage spaces made of walnut. Beside this hallway, a vast office faces the swimming pool. Its walls are adorned with an L-shaped series of bookshelves, currently filled with books in abundance. A few steps take you down to an intermediate level where a lounge features an imposing 2.5-metre-wide wood-burning fireplace and a large L-shaped bench sofa. Another few steps take you down to a living room with a cathedral ceiling. Its straight lines draw your gaze out to the panoramic vista of the garden and valley. Steps take you up to an eating area that is extended with a modernist kitchen. A central island unit made of marble gives this space a pivotal point. The furniture, made of solid walnut, goes with the plain forms of the rooms and the natural light that floods into them from different sides. An adjoining terrace lies outside, at the same level as the kitchen and eating area. It includes a barbecue corner. Beyond a hidden door, there is a scullery, a spacious pantry, a utility room and a large fitness room. These rooms are laid out in a row. The fitness room is bathed in natural light from large garden-facing picture windows that lead outside. There is a second entrance on the same side as the main door.

The upstairs
You reach the first floor from the entrance hallway. It has three bedrooms. The first two bedrooms share a bathroom and a separate lavatory. The third bedroom is a spacious room bathed in an abundance of natural light from south-facing picture windows. It lies beside a small private lounge and a large walk-in wardrobe behind a walnut door. At the end, a bathroom looks out at the garden and the maritime pines. A split-level room that looks down from above the fireplace lounge serves as a television room or games room.

The intermediate level
A small spiral staircase made of painted wood leads to a corridor with a floor of travertine tiles. This corridor is lined with many bespoke cupboards. It connects to two bedrooms filled with natural light, a shower room and a separate lavatory. This series of rooms would be ideal for guests.
