About this property

Private Village House with Valley Views

Set in a unique position on Place de l’Horloge in the South of France, this detached village house enjoys sweeping views across the valley to distant hills and snow-capped mountains. Built for the mayor of Tourrettes on a site he had reserved for himself, it is the only fully private, free-standing home on the square. Beside the 12th-century bell tower, the property has a setting that cannot be spoilt by future development.

The 128 sq m of living space includes three bedrooms and three bathrooms, arranged across the main house and a self-contained annex. The main house offers a bright sun room, a kitchen with adjoining pantry, a dining room, and a spacious sitting room and library, which open through French doors onto the terrace. Two of the main-house bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms. The annex has a double bedroom and a large en-suite bathroom, as well as its own French doors to the terrace, making it suitable for letting or hosting guests.

A huge terrace makes the most of the views and provides generous space for outdoor dining and relaxation. The 586 sq m plot is accessed from the square through an electronic security gate and down a private driveway. Additional practical space includes a boiler room, a separate tool room or workshop, and a huge attic with potential for conversion, subject to the necessary permissions.

The house is within a few minutes’ walk of Fayence, with its cafés, restaurants, shops and market-town amenities, yet its privileged position offers remarkable peace and quiet. Tourrettes is a historic hilltop village in the Var, in Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur, with the surrounding Pays de Fayence offering a distinctive rural setting and access to the wider Provence region.
