Country House - Correns, 83

Description

This beautiful, impressive stone property is set in 10 acres of pines, rosemary, wild thyme and lavender in the very heart of France's Provence Var region. Quietly located off a small country lane just outside the medieval village of Correns, the house is built in the Etruscan style using old stone, and centred around the courtyard (like a cloister) with the large swimming pool as the focal point.
The property is approached up a long drive which leads to a large gravel turning circle in front of the main stone facade. On the approach level is a large independent apartment of approximately 80m², ideal for long-term guests or for a live-in caretaker. There is also a very large garage and workshop area. The main accommodation is reached via a stone and terracotta stairway which leads to a small beamed entrance hall and then into the magnificent living room with open fireplace. There is a large separate dining room and off this a luxurious open-plan kitchen finished in true Provencal style. Four of the eight bedrooms lead directly out to the pool terrace. The kitchen, dining room and large salon also open onto the courtyard and pool. The pool itself is heated and has a rigid electric cover. Around the pool are a sun terrace, shaded loggia terraces, a summer kitchen and lawned gardens.
This is a quite extraordinary property of great quality which must be viewed to appreciate it fully.
