Overview

Perched like a sovereign above its sun-drenched domain, this 18th-century bastide—gracefully reimagined in the 19th century—commands 70 hectares of Provence’s most coveted terroir, where the golden light spills across 24 hectares of flourishing vines. Here, in the heart of Var, the land breathes with purpose: 10 hectares crowned by the prestigious *AOP Côtes de Provence* appellation, another 14 bearing the *IGP* mark of distinction, and the promise of 11 more hectares awaiting their destiny beneath the Provençal sky.

The bastide itself, a masterpiece of time-worn elegance, unfolds across 5,000 square meters of living artistry. Seven chambers, each a sanctuary of refined repose, whisper of centuries past through original stone and wood, while modern luxuries weave seamlessly into the tapestry of history. Beyond its walls, a 16th-century farmhouse slumbers—patient, full of potential—its rough-hewn beams and thick stone walls awaiting a visionary’s touch to restore its former glory.

This is a realm built for both grandeur and industry. The state-of-the-art winery, a cathedral to viticulture, gleams with stainless steel and concrete vats, its aging cellar cradling future vintages in hushed anticipation. Barns stand ready, their timbers scenting the air with earth and oak, while three discrete apartments, outbuildings, and a sweeping event space beckon to those who dream of hosting soirées beneath a sky ablaze with stars.

Yet it is the land itself that enchants most deeply. The vineyards, row upon meticulous row, stretch toward the horizon, their leaves rustling in the *Mistral* wind like pages of an unfinished love letter to the earth. Surrounding woods stand sentinel, their emerald canopy shielding this private world from prying eyes. Here, the rhythm of the seasons dictates life: the burst of spring lavender, the heavy perfume of summer roses, the crisp autumn harvest when the air hums with purpose and the first press of grapes stains the air with sweet promise.
