Located in one of the most sought-after villages of the Haut Var, this historic estate of approximately 500 sqm represents a rare opportunity to acquire a large-scale Provençal residence.

An 18th-century bastide, caretaker’s house, chapel, heated swimming pool and nearly 2 hectares of natural land form a remarkable setting, just 45 minutes from the Mediterranean coastline and the iconic destinations of the French Riviera.

Ideal as a prestigious family residence, the estate also offers a potential high-end rental or small-scale events, without compromising its residential character.

The main house, originally built in 1780 and currently undergoing interior renovation, is offered for sale in its current condition (with an option to be sold finished).

“The Pearl of the Haut Var” — this is how Bargemon is often described. This small hilltop medieval village lies around 30 minutes from Draguignan. With the surrounding hills and the limestone plateau as its backdrop, this authentic corner of Provence appears like a painting bathed in southern light.

From this picturesque location, close to major road links, one can easily reach the Mediterranean coast with its beaches and transport hubs (Nice, Cannes, Saint-Raphaël), or head inland to outstanding natural sites such as Lake Sainte-Croix and the Gorges du Verdon.

Heritage is present at every turn, with numerous fountains in the village center and the Riou mill.

Perfectly integrated into this authentic environment, the property is currently used as a reception and accommodation venue: a true bastide of 410 sqm set on an estate of nearly 2 hectares.

Behind its history-filled walls, the main building offers warm living spaces in harmony with the home’s character. The ground floor features an open kitchen and a vast cathedral-style living room extending onto a mezzanine, wheelchair-accessible restrooms, and a wine-tasting cellar that could be redesigned as an office or bedroom with private terrace.

Upstairs, there are four double bedrooms, each with its own bathroom or shower room. In addition to these suites, the first floor includes a lounge overlooking the lower living area, while the second floor houses the laundry room.

The caretaker’s house is located on a lower level with an independent entrance. It includes a catering area and a 77 sqm reception room with terrace.

The east wing also includes an apartment comprising a living room, open kitchen, and a master bedroom with bathroom and dressing room, also benefiting from a terrace.

The outdoor spaces complete the picture from the moment one arrives. In the lower part of the estate, the shade of plane trees and a water basin create a romantic garden atmosphere, while the upper section features a heated swimming pool. A pétanque court and a chapel with its forecourt further enhance the idyllic character of the property. Guests can be comfortably accommodated thanks to parking for 21 vehicles (17 standard spaces, 3 minibus spaces, and 1 accessible space).

The setting is now in place for this estate and its bastide, whose interior is currently being redesigned. Its exceptional potential makes it ideal as a prestigious private residence, a luxury seasonal rental property, or a boutique hospitality project.
