Bouches du Rhône, France
£1,580,000 approx (€1,750,000) Introduction
Accommodation
This sprawling villa, designed by the architect André Bruyere in 1968, sits in the middle of unspoilt countryside, near to a nature reserve. Set in over 1 hectare of land, planted with olive, cypress and pink bay trees, the single-storey house provides over 440 sq m / 4,700 sq ft of accommodation and has 5 bedrooms, two studios with their own kitchen and bathroom, and a separate 1-bedroom apartment. The interior is largely open-plan, and offers flexibility of arrangement.
The external colouring of the house pays homage to traditional Mediterranean architecture and helps it to blend seamlessly with the surrounding environment, as does its low profile. The sculptural concrete roof folds over the edges of the building to create covered patio areas and a fluid arrangement of indoor and outdoor spaces, as well as framing the views of the nearby Alpilles mountains.
The house is located in St Rémy de Provence, in the Bouches du Rhône region of France, near to the popular cities of Avignon, Marseilles and Aix-en-Provence. The popular coastal town of Cassis is also within reach.
