Set in a dominant position above one of the most beautiful villages in France, this Provencal home enjoys a setting that is as rare as it is captivating.
From the moment you arrive, the sense of space and light is striking - the property is fully south-facing, bathed in sunshine throughout the day, with views that unfold endlessly from nearly every window. The panorama is truly one of its defining features: rolling hills, layered greenery, and, on clear days, a delicate glimpse of the sea shimmering in the distance. It's the kind of view that changes with the hours, always offering something new, yet always serene.
The main house of approximately 180m2 offers generous volumes and a warm, authentic atmosphere. The ground level and living space opens naturally onto the exterior. The kitchen flows onto a covered terrace, a perfect spot for a meal any time of the day. A laundry room and spacious garage complete this floor.
The upstairs level has a large office that can also be used as a bedroom, a bathroom, another large bedroom and two smaller bedrooms.
The last floor has two more bedrooms and a bathroom. Large openings frame the landscape like living paintings, and most of the bedrooms benefit from panoramic views, a rare feature.
Adjoining the main residence, an additional building of about 70m2 extends the property's potential. This independent yet connected space can be re-imagined in many ways - as two independent bedrooms each with a bathroom, or a private apartment - offering flexibility for those looking to create something personal, whether for hosting or for retreat.
Set within 3,600 m2 of land, the property includes a swimming pool with a dedicated terrace, many olive trees an ancient bread oven, wine cellar, and work shop.
Additional nearby wooded parcels are included in the sale, increasing the total surface area to more than 9,400 m2.
Beyond its charm and setting, the property carries a subtle yet remarkable piece of history. Once home to the muse of Jean-Paul Sartre, it offers more than just a place to live - a connection to a creative and intellectual past. A home where inspiration once resided, and where it's easy to imagine it still does.
This is not simply a house; it is a place defined by light, views, and atmosphere - a discreet retreat with a story to tell. For those who understand what Provence truly means - not just a place, but a way of living.

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.
