Property with Two Independent Dwellings and Swimming Pool

Property Description

On a plot of 1,055 m2 in the heart of La Ciotat, a rare property: two independent houses, one single ensemble. The historical section, a carefully renovated building from the early 20th century, houses two self-contained units with preserved character. Natural finishes, wooden joinery, generous volumes: architecture that has aged gracefully. The contemporary section is organized into three sleek volumes around a swimming pool, in the spirit of the Mediterranean cabanon. Living spaces, three bedrooms, independent studio, and dressing area flow smoothly between interior and exterior, connected by a bridge, opening onto terraces and patios that act as additional rooms. What truly distinguishes this property is its relationship with nature and living beings. The plot is planted with an exceptional diversity of vegetation — bamboos, eucalyptus, pines, oaks, palm trees, yuccas — and a century-old pine literally traverses one of the volumes. A dense canopy that naturally regulates temperature, ensures privacy, and turns each outdoor space into a remarkable place. The contemporary house is cross-ventilated: designed to capture sea breezes and provide permanent natural ventilation. No air conditioning or plastic roller shutters — a simple and intelligent architecture that relies on thermal inertia, shade, and air circulation instead of energy-consuming equipment. A property for multiple uses: main family residence, shared holiday home, multi-dwelling project, or seasonal rental investment — the layout in four independent volumes offers a rare freedom of organization on the market.
