Pleasant Bioclimatic Home with a Large Garden

Property Description

Vue sur Vert invites you to discover this bioclimatic home, less than 5 km from the village centre of Vidauban.
It is the result of an architectural vision in which ecology and comfort come together for the enjoyment of its residents.
Set in a leafy residential area on a large 2.600 m² plot, the house blends harmoniously into its surroundings thanks to its bioclimatic design, natural materials and carefully considered orientation to make the most of the sun.
A layout designed for everyday living
With 121.65 m² of living space, the house is entered from the north through a bright hallway serving the first living areas: two bedrooms, one with a private shower and the other currently used as an office, with access to the terrace.
The hallway leads on to the spacious south-facing living room
and kitchen, the true heart of the home. A third bedroom, accessed from the living room, occupies the western part of the house. This is the main bedroom suite, with a dressing room and bathroom. The property also includes a 30 m² basement garage.
Outside, two terraces have a total area of 70 m², one with a pergola on the south-east side, along with a 185 m² parking area.
Natural materials and comfortable living
The house has a timber frame, hemp-concrete walls and partitions made from raw-earth bricks, providing excellent thermal mass. Lime finishes, Marmoleum flooring in the bedrooms, a
Limousin Douglas-fir terrace and larch roof soffits were all chosen for their quality and durability.
Comfort and energy savings are supported by a dual-flow ventilation system with heat recovery and a summer cooling mode, wood heating, an air-conditioning unit in the living room for periods of intense heat, and a solar thermal system that provides domestic hot water at no additional energy cost for much of the year.
After
more than ten years of occupancy, the home’s qualities have been confirmed: a peaceful atmosphere, an excellent quality of life and lasting performance make this a home that is both pleasant to live in and timeless.
A large, tree-filled garden
The garden includes 2.400 m² of planted areas, served by several automatic irrigation points. It offers different spaces for a variety of uses, in a very quiet setting, away from neighbouring properties and accompanied by birdsong.
It has a complete phytoremediation system that treats the household’s greywater and wastewater, as well as a 185 m² parking area.
A swimming pool could be installed (see the proposed semi-inground pool in the listing photos).

The interior is painted with an ecological limewash using pigmented limewash paint.
The ALDES CUBE dual-flow mechanical ventilation system has a pollen filter and recovers heat from the extracted air as it brings in fresh air.

In summer, it also operates in bypass/boost mode to increase night-time ventilation
and cool the
house, making use of the high thermal mass of the raw-earth brick partitions, finished with pigmented limewash and soya wax.
