House in Southern France ( 6 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms )
Due to age, we are considering to sell our lovely residence in Southern France, 300 meters from the city square of the charming medieval village of Fayence. Fayence is situated 30 km from Cannes and 60 km from Nice.
This beautiful property is situated high on a hillside and has a fantastic view from every room. At the same time it is completely free from insight making it possible to be completely undisturbed everywhere on the property and still be part of the village.
In 1999, we bought this southwest facing terrain in Fayence, 2-3 minutes walk from the town square. We used a local architect, Pascal Cigolini, to build our lovely property in the Italian neoclassical style and with copper gutters. The property consists of two independent houses ideal for two generations. The two houses can be divided into two independent land registers, if wanted.
View to Fayence and the Clock Tower
