QUINTESSENCE

In need of renovation, this heritage property captivates with its understated and timeless architecture, generous proportions, a seamless connection to its verdant surroundings, and light that bathes every room throughout the day. The ground floor brings together the reception areas around a bright living room, a dining room, and a separate kitchen opening onto the garden. Upstairs, five bedrooms comprise the sleeping area, along with a bathroom, a second shower room, a separate WC, and an additional room. Each benefits from abundant natural light and spectacular views of the Cassis vineyards, creating a constant dialogue with the landscape. Part of this floor could be designed as a self-contained apartment, offering great flexibility for accommodating family and friends or for creating a complementary living space. Outside, the terrace, bordered by its historic balustrade, transforms into a true belvedere overlooking the landscape. The garden, generously planted with Mediterranean species, suggests numerous possibilities for development, where a swimming pool could naturally find its place as an extension of the architecture. Above all, this bastide reveals a remarkable capacity for reinvention. The proposed designs illustrate a contemporary restoration that respects its identity, where the nobility of the materials, the simplicity of the lines, and the openness to the landscape reveal the full strength of its original architecture. The potential for reinterpretation of this authentic 18th-century bastide, where the charm of the old world lends itself naturally to contemporary renovation.
