Exclusively! In the heart of Provence and discreetly nestled just a few steps from the port of Sanary-sur-Mer, between TOULON and MARSEILLE, with easy access by road, stands majestically this castle, a true historical witness since its creation in the 14th century. The curtain walls, ancient vaulted arches, and watchtowers evoke its past as a religious building (chapel) and agricultural facility (former mill), while in the 19th century, this place upset an entire economy and became the cradle of L'AOC BANDOL. An emblematic site of the region and residence of illustrious personalities such as Hugues Rose (General). The last modifications date back to the 20th century, thus preserving this regional and French emblem through the ages. The castle, with a living area of approximately 800 m2, faces south and is set in a park of 6800 m2. Several distinct spaces blend harmoniously: on the castle side, two large courtyards shaded by two multi-centenary plane trees, on the other side, a preserved nature, with its immense medlar trees, separated by a bucolic garden that brings nostalgia and relaxation. The castle extends over three levels, organized around the 100 m2 Chai where time seems to have stopped. One can still smell the scent of wood aged by the grapes. The bottling of liters can still be heard, the movement of the staff in the month of September in a humid freshness that characterizes such a special dawn. A machinery left behind is exhibited like in a museum. A rounded tower adds charm to the architecture in the southeast part. On the ground floor, the entrance hall provides a glimpse of the former barrels of the master's habitation. Each room on this level offers numerous layout possibilities. A first kitchen and dining room open onto an outdoor space ideal for al fresco dining. A large living room adorned with moldings and cement tiles enchants with its charm. The ascent to the first floor encourages contemplation, with its light-filled windows offering breathtaking views of the park. A cloakroom perfectly suited for showcasing works of art serves one of the highlights of the residence: the office, with vaulted ceilings reaching 4 meters high and its stained-glass windows, which, in a concern for intimacy, have seen many geopolitical and economic decisions made in ancient times. Five bedrooms are located on this level, as well as several water points. The last floor presents strong potential for layout, with the possibility to renovate at least seven bedrooms and several bathrooms. To the west of the castle, an imposing terrace of about 70 m2 opens this monument to the eager gazes of the Sanary hills. To culminate with this keep, this central round tower, serving as a lookout, offers a 360-degree view and gently allows us to lay our eyes on its big sister at the port. In summary, this property offers a rare opportunity to inscribe one's name in the history of the region and the country while benefiting from an exceptional setting. This Sanary jewel with undeniable charisma awaits careful renovation.
