Set in 7.2 hectares of grounds in the beautiful countryside surrounding La Garde Freinet, this picturesque two-storey Provencal property offers wonderful accommodation with abundant charm, including fantastic living rooms, three bedrooms, a further bedroom with external access and four bathrooms.
In a traditional pretty French style, the property is in excellent condition throughout and offers excellent entertaining space with two large interconnecting living rooms, one with central, stone "through" fireplace, the other with a full wall of sliding glass doors onto a generous shaded terrace/dining area.
Approached down a hard-standing lane to a private stone and iron gate, through to a circular gravel front courtyard, the property sits centrally in its grounds. A most secluded estate, the property features a heated swimming pool with nice pool apron and outbuilding, a tennis court with floodlighting, a summer kitchen, and several terraces. There is also a river which feeds a water tank with a 200,000 litre capacity.
In addition to the main house, there is a fully independent caretaker's cottage at the entrance to the estate.
Location
Only 5 minutes to the pretty village of La Garde Freinet, this has to be one of the most iconic Provence locations. La Garde has streets of covered cafes and restaurants and most everything needed day-today, with the bay of Saint-Tropez with its world-class beaches, restaurants and cafe-life less than 30 minutes away. Perhaps the very essence and heart of the French riviera. The property is easily accessible, the private airport at Mandelieu-La Napoule and main hub airport at Nice Cote d'Azur are only about an hour by car.

Buying a Property in France
1. Signing the Agreement (Compris)
On finding a property you wish to purchase you will need to negotiate the terms, price and conditions of the sale with the owner.
The next step, once you are in agreement, is to sign the preliminary contract (Compromis de Vente). This is a legal document and after ten days will be binding on both parties. Rules change frequently in France and it is best to consult with your notary about when this period starts. Generally the compris will be signed in France with the Agent.
Variants can be included in the compris, for example an Acte (clause) can be added if the name or names to go on the title deed have not been finalised. If a mortgage will be required to purchase the property, the details for this, including the name of the mortgage company, must be on the compris.
2. Paying the Deposit
Generally the deposit will be 10% of the agreed purchase price. This will normally be paid to the notaire. There are exceptions to this, if the agent holds a carte professionelle, is bonded and fully registered then you may pay them, but do not hand over the deposit to anyone else. If for some reason the purchase does not go through, for example, if you write to the notaire and the agent that you do not wish to go continue with the purchase before the contract is binding (within seven days of signing the compris), then your deposit would be repaid. This would also apply if a condition had not been met, or the mayor or S.A.F.E.R. (a government agency that has the right of first purchase on most rural property that comes onto the market in France) could oblige the purchaser to give way. If you decide after the seven days 'cooling off' period that you do not wish to complete the purchase and pull out of the sale you would lose your deposit. If however the vendor pulls out of the sale then you will receive your deposit back plus the same amount from the vendor.
3. On Completion
Generally it will take around two or three months to complete the purchase.
During this time the balance of the purchase money must be paid into the account of the notaire, this must be done well ahead of the completion date. The notaire will prepare the documents, check that the deed of sale (Acte de Vente) is in order and have the legal title ready to be signed over. It is possible to have someone sign on your behalf if you give them power of attorney. An interpreter may be of use at this point if your French is not very good and many Notaires will suggest (or insist) that an interpreter is with you.
