Beautiful Provence Bastide with stunning views, walking distance to the village below

Tastefully renovated Bastide with stunning views and guest cottage, old church and monastery buildings and several garages.  Includes 4.8 hectares with 500 olive trees, oak tree truffle  field, a lavender field, and fruit trees. Utterly private yet only a short walk to the popular village below.

Sold  on a fully furnished walk in basis, including all the equipment and tools you might find useful.

North off the St Tropez A8 exit, less than 2 hours from Monaco and only 15 minutes from the Gorges du Verdon.

The Bastide recently underwent three years of full renovation. Highest quality materials were used,  including Turkish marble floor and a bespoke Italian kitchen.  New reverse cycle air-conditioning provides heating and cooling, and a large fireplace and electric radiators are also present.

Each of the 4 main bedrooms has its own bathroom. The master bedrooms are especially large and all feature stunning views over the village and valley. The ground floor library can also be used as a 5th spare bedroom.

The separate self contained guest or caretakers cottage includes bedroom, bathroom, kitchen/living room, and lounge area and was also renovated.

The 1816 church building of 79m2 features a 8m vaulted ceiling and offers an exciting area for future use. The church and monastery roofs were rebuilt.

With a new 8m x 5m salt water pool with UV and sand filters, over 600 meters of new fences, fully automatic irrigation and low maintenance robotic mowers for the lawns, Bastide Notre Dame is ready to be appreciated.

Water is provided by 2 bores and an external spring source. The electric driveway gate, external security cameras and internal alarm system complete security.

History

Bastide Notre Dame was built by the noble de Gassier family in the late 1700s or early 1800s, who themselves have an interesting history.  The church shows 1816 on the door keystone, and was built within the ruins of a much larger building that dates back to the 15th or 16th century.

The property occupies the prominent location over the village and valley below, offering commanding views while still being very private. 

The private church and the pigeon tower on the property were both indications of high status for the era.  Unlike a Mas or farm building which was built for practical use, a Bastide or country house was built primarily to enjoy the location.   An enormous amount of landscaping and terracing was performed for this property, resulting in layers of interesting views.
