SIGNES: Lovely individual property set on the plain of Signes. This architect-designed house offers fantastic light and airy space with high quality finishes that have been enhanced by bespoke ironwork pieces created by an artist.
You can choose to enter through the main entrance alongside the double garage or to come through the glass & ironwork gate onto the south-facing terrace overlooking the pool with its wooden surrounding. Here an ironwork and glass pergola adds touches of individuality to what is a new house alongside the summer kitchen.
This terrace has multiple patio doors into the large living-dining room with US fitted kitchen. The 2nd bedroom also has doors onto this terrace, but is currently used as an office. The main bedroom is also on the ground floor and there is an enormous shower room accessed directly from the master bedroom or from the corridor. The third bedroom is upstairs & has its own shower room as well as a corner sitting area which is open over the living room.
In the basement is a large wine cellar and storage room.
In the grounds, there is an independent artist's studio which could become a guest bedroom. There is also a workshop & a further vehicle shelter with a terrace in front
The property is located 4 km from the Signes Business Park and the motor-racing circuit Paul Ricard, 30 km from the sea & beaches at Bandol and 15km from the motorway A50.

The prosperous Var department is located in the most extreme south-easterly point in France and has an unsurpassable climate, except in early spring when the heavy showers arrive.
Toulon is the departmental capital of the Var with a population of over 160,000. It has the biggest harbour in mainland Europe, and France's Mediterranean navy fleet use the city as its base. Toulon is a historic centre in many ways, and its attractive old streets are host to many ancient buildings and hidden historic corners. The town also has a lively cultural scene, the highlight of which is the fantastic local opera company. The hills that look over the town and onto the sea have a number of great houses, villas and apartments.
The city of Toulon was damaged severely during the Second World War giving the centre a very different atmosphere to its neighbours on the coastline.
To the east of the Var you'll find the town of Hyeres, which is a great blend of both Provence and Cote d'Azur culture. There are few other places that offer exotic palm trees on a sun-soaked coast together with a medieval old town and other historical interests - imagine spending your holidays here!
The very famous St-Tropez is a stunning town architecturally and is celebrated for its glamorous lifestyle. It has a population of just 6000 in the low season, but as the temperature increases for the summer months the population explodes!
Further up the coastline and you'll come across the tourist resorts of Frejus and St-Raphael with their stretching sandy beaches and Roman remains. Not to be missed is Port-Grimaud. Built along a network of canals, the city bears a striking resemblance to the Italian city of Venice. The city is very attractive, although the top prize goes to Bargeme, which is widely acknowledged as one of the prettiest villages in the whole of France.
Both EasyJet and GB Airways fly to Toulon from Gatwick. If you'd rather avoid flying, however, you could take a Rail Europe service from London Waterloo all the way to Toulon.
Property prices in the Var remain high thanks to the popularity of the region and the proximity to the Mediterrannean coast. However, for investors, they have the advantage of a strong rental market to make a return on your investment. As expected, properties get slightly cheaper the further inland you delve.
