Luxury Holiday Home in the South of France

This property is on the market for €5,900,000, listed with Carlton International.

Located in the countryside of Provence, Le Castelet is in walking distance to the quaint village of Peymeinade. One of the oldest properties in the area, the stone house dates back to the 13th century, with parts of the foundation from Roman times.

The dreamy Provencal estate has retained much of its original French glamour 60 years later, updated for modern living and luxuries and offering incredible outdoor amenities to enjoy those long summers in the south of France.

There is an outdoor spa and hammam, as well as two swimming pools on the property: one Roman-inspired main swimming pool by the bastide and another infinity pool tucked away by the vineyards, next to the 4-bedroom guest house.

The large poolside terrace is ideally suited to entertain en plein air, with an outdoor kitchen with a barbeque and an authentic pizza oven.

Surrounded by lush, landscaped gardens with citrus trees and cypresses, the dreamy French property also boasts mature olive groves that produce a house olive oil and a private vineyard that produces thousands of bottles of house wine that can be stored in the bastide’s wine cellar.

A boule court can also be found on the property, tucked under an allee of Plane trees.

Inside, the main 7-bedroom bastide has retained much of its authentic charm, with a grand staircase in the entrance hall, original wood beams and exposed stone walls, as well as upgrades like floor heating, a sound system, an elevator, and a Hollywood-approved screening room.

High ceilings and large windows illuminate the property with incredible light all day long, and French doors open out onto those spectacular terraces and French Riviera views.

Just a 30 minute drive to the beach, the charming French stone house is nestled in the hills of Cannes and offers breathtaking views of the Estérel Mountains and the Mediterranean Sea.
