Panoramic Chateau on the French Riviera
Offering panoramic views over the Var countryside from its hilltop setting, the French chateau for sale is set within an incredible 178 acre estate in the south of France.
There are over 350 olive trees in production, which produced approximately 250 litres of oil in 2021, as well as orchards containing lemon, orange, cherry, grapefruit, fig and almond trees.
The French country estate also includes the ruins of a 12th-century Knights Templar castle and a chapel dedicated to St. Marguerite, while another 17th century chapel has been converted into a rec-room with a small working organ.
The chateau dates back to the 17th century and was restored in the 1960s by French Riviera architect, André Svetchine, known for designing homes for the likes of designer Christian Dior and artist Marc Chagall, as well as several luxury villas on Cap Ferrat.
The chateau was updated last in 2012 with a modern kitchen and offers 6 ensuite bedrooms and 5 bathrooms across 6108 sq ft of living space, in addition to a 2-bedroom caretaker house on the property, as well as a 2-bedroom farmhouse and an independent studio suite.
The terraces surrounding the chateau are believed to date back to Roman times and contain beautifully landscaped gardens, including a 20-metre gravity-fed fountain in the lavender garden, as well as a boules court, outdoor bar, and a swimming pool.
Offering spectacular views over the Provencal countryside, this French country estate for sale is just 35 minutes from the Mediterranean beaches of Nice.
