Provençal country house with swimming pool in a natural setting

Nestled at the foot of the Oppidum du Baou, in Marseille’s 12th arrondissement, this unique property features a 200 sq m (2,153 sq ft) vernacular house with an 8,000 sq m (86,000 sq ft) garden complete with a swimming pool and garage.

The entrance opens onto a 50 sq m (538 sq ft) living room, its centerpiece a striking stone fireplace that serves as the heart of the home. Adjacent to this, a fully equipped kitchen benefits from a skylight above the central island, which flows seamlessly into a magnificent, custom-made, handcrafted dining table.

The open-plan living spaces allow for a fluid flow between the various areas, all oriented towards the outdoors. A conservatory, a laundry room, and a WC complete this level. The sleeping quarters are located upstairs, comprising three bedrooms, including a master suite, a shower room, and two WCs. A spacious landing can also serve as an office. The garden, planted with local species including olive trees, pines, cypresses, and laurels, evokes a truly typical Mediterranean countryside, secluded from view and ensuring a seamless connection between the traditional architecture and its exceptional natural surroundings. Designed as a natural-looking pool, a generously sized swimming pool offers a privileged place to relax, nestled within a verdant and intimate setting. Ample parking is available on the property. Shops, schools, and motorway access are nearby.
