Water front villa for sale and rent Les Parcs de Saint Tropez

Description

Superb waterfront XVIII Century Provencal bastide in one of the most exclusive and private domain of the Riviera : Les Parcs de St Tropez. “La Bastide” was built in 1998 on an exceptional plot of land with spectacular 180-degree views over the Maures, the Esterel, the Alpes de Provence, the French Riviera, the Mediterranean Sea and even Corsica.

The property is just shy of 7 000 m² and consists of two adjoining plots of land :

• One plot of 2 000 m² is a direct waterfront property set in a natural preserve.
• A second plot of 5 000 m² ensures the protection of the house from the elements while offering panoramic views of the sea.

The landscaped park alternates between wild and cultured living spaces: terraces, solarium, greenhouse, fountains, garden, Provencal fruit and vegetable garden, bocce ball court, two pools, a Jacuzzi and even a helicopter landing area.

The main heated swimming pool is built to fit into the style of the house. It is located to the south and protected from wind by an exceptional terraced vegetation: pine and trees, vines, fig trees, cypresses, rose gardens ... which allows its year round use.

The property, with direct access to the water, is prolonged by a private beach, a pier and a cove for mooring two ten-meter boats.

The architectural concept:

Rather than opting for a conventional néo Provençal villa or a standard ultra modern home, the goal was to recreate at the edge of the water, the spirit of an authentic 18th century.

The combination of the most renowned talents :

• François Vieillecroze for the architecture
• Roland Lebevillon / Maurice Savinel for the interior decoration
• Pierre Restituto for the landscaping

The 6 900 m² park surrounding the house includes a traditional Provençal Bastide garden and at the edge of the sea a less formal area replicating a Provençale garrigue.

Sports and leisure activities:

• Two swimming pools
• Jacuzzi
• Solarium
• Barbecue area
• Two bars
• Boule ground
• Pool table
• Fussball, video room, etc.
• Indoor / outdoor pool, hammam, Jacuzzi, home theatre, gym...

Simultaneously traditional and sophisticated, the house is built with antique materials : wood paneling, doors and windows, original shutters, alcoves, columns, wrought iron frames, old tiled stone, Louis XVI terracotta fireplace from the town of Arles, garden decorated with Anduze vases, statues and even an XVII century naval gun.The furniture and chandeliers were also carefully selected from famous local antique dealers.
The presence of twenty white pigeons-peacocks complements the decor.
All of the above makes “La Bastide” a unique place in Saint Tropez with a magical charm that has been featured in many articles, books and television reports.
An electric cart allows easy transportation around the property without noise or pollution.
