BARNES is delighted to present this outstanding architect-designed estate, nestled at the foot of the Sainte-Baume mountain range in an exceptionally preserved natural setting, offering complete privacy and no overlooking neighbours. Built between 2013 and 2015, the property offers approximately 284 sqm (3,057 sq ft) of living space, comprising a main residence and an independent guest house, all set within more than 17,000 sqm (4.2 acres) of private landscaped grounds.
The main residence, spanning approximately 220 sqm, is centred around a spectacular cathedral-style reception room with nearly 7-metre-high ceilings. Flooded with natural light through expansive south-facing windows, this impressive living area features a lounge with an insert fireplace, a dining area, and a fully open-plan kitchen enjoying breathtaking panoramic views over the Sainte-Baume massif. The living space is complemented by a pantry, a laundry room, and a spacious garage.
The lower level accommodates three bedrooms and a family bathroom.
On the upper floor, an elegant principal suite offers a walk-in dressing room, an en-suite shower room, and a large private terrace overlooking the estate. A further mezzanine level is currently arranged as a home office and could easily be converted into an additional sleeping area if required.
Attached to the main house while remaining entirely independent, the 64 sqm guest house provides fully self-contained accommodation including a bright living room with open-plan kitchen, a generous terrace, one bedroom, a bathroom, and a second mezzanine bedroom.
This versatile space is perfectly suited for a professional activity, welcoming family and guests, or generating high-quality rental income.
The two houses can easily be connected to create one exceptional family residence.
A fully fitted basement further enhances the property, offering a kitchen, an additional bedroom, a shower room, and extensive storage areas.
Outside, the estate truly reveals its exceptional character. Approximately 280 olive trees flourish across the grounds, irrigated by a natural spring water collection reservoir, which also supplies the landscaped gardens and the swimming pool.
The magnificent 14.5 x 4.5-metre heated saltwater infinity pool blends seamlessly into its natural surroundings while enjoying uninterrupted panoramic views.
Designed according to the highest standards of energy efficiency and bioclimatic comfort, the property boasts an A-rated Energy Performance Certificate (DPE A) and incorporates state-of-the-art technical features, including a full-roof photovoltaic installation generating approximately €5,000 in annual income, a photovoltaic carport, an air-to-water heat pump supplying hydronic underfloor heating and cooling, a thermodynamic hot water system, a Provençal earth-air heat exchanger providing natural ventilation, external thermal insulation, reinforced concrete construction ensuring outstanding thermal inertia, and two electric vehicle charging stations.
A truly rare opportunity, this remarkable estate combines contemporary architecture, outstanding energy autonomy, premium technical specifications, and an exceptional lifestyle setting just minutes from the centre of Saint-Zacharie. It also enjoys easy access to Aix-en-Provence, Aubagne, and Marseille, while the Mediterranean coastline and its beaches are only approximately 25 minutes away, alongside countless opportunities for outdoor activities.
A confidential property designed for discerning buyers seeking space, privacy, and excellence.
