Several entrances from an adjoining street lead to the various parts of the property: a mid-19th-century residence and a 16th-century former magnanerie (silkworm nursery), both at the edge of a wooded garden along the river. The exposed-stone outbuilding runs along the street at right angles to the main house, screening the garden from view. A terrace paved with a decorative mosaic of Durance pebbles separates the house from the outdoor areas. A grapevine winds around the pergola above it. Stone pillars and bollards at the entrance recall the property's original agricultural purpose.
The rectangular house faces south-east. Its three levels rise from thick stone walls with a beige render. Three rows of windows and doors punctuate the two largest facades, with grey-blue painted shutters on the first two levels. The main facade looks onto the garden and has two entrances, while the opposite elevation has a bull's-eye window on the upper level. A gabled barrel-tile roof covers the house, and Virginia creeper has spread over part of the building.

The house

The garden-level floor
The main entrance is through an original solid timber door, with a fanlight topped by a stone keystone and decorative ironwork. An entrance lobby with a glazed double door leads to a spacious hall, small sitting room and library, and large living room. It combines a semi-open kitchen with a central island, and a dining room opening onto the garden. A bathroom and lavatory usefully complete the level, whose floors are laid in travertine. Small windows light the side staircase, which retains its terracotta-tiled steps and timber stair nosings.

The upstairs
A long corridor on the second level leads to four bedrooms of around 14 to 19 m². Most face the garden, one with an alcove and another with a large wardrobe. A shower room on the north side has a large shower and a lavatory. It adjoins two other, smaller rooms, usable as an office or spare bedroom. The floors are laid with terracotta tiles.

The attic
This level has a floor area of around 100 m², a generous ceiling height, interior shutters, and an insulated roof. Period joinery, original terracotta tiles, and exposed beams reflect the age of the house and the quality of its features, which remain largely intact throughout. The very large attic currently serves as a storeroom.

The lean-to

A small single-storey building abuts the west elevation of the house. It houses a below-ground wine cellar, laundry room, woodstore, and boiler room.

The former magnanerie

With a footprint of around 80 m², it houses a workshop, a garage accessible from the street, and a large professional office with its own entrance. The garden-side facade incorporates the former dovecote, which still displays its faience-tile surround and its nesting holes.

The garden

It extends lengthwise over around 1,500 m² in front of the house and comprises trees and shrubs of different species, notably olive trees, acacias, and bay trees. The former magnanerie borders one side, while the Eze forms a natural boundary on the opposite side. Plane trees, poplars, and maples line its banks, and some are a century old. They provide shade and coolness in the warmer months. A stately cedar completes this planting. A deciduous hedge encloses a 3 × 4 m mini-pool south-east of the house, between the outbuilding and the river. A mechanical room backs onto the outbuilding. Timber coping borders the pool, and a small tiled poolside area runs alongside it.
