Private vacation home

Le Lauron is in the perfect location: private, quiet and secluded but not remote. Not overlooked, in a beautiful setting with amazing views, and only a short (15 min max) walk to the historic village of Bargemon with its shops (including butcher, supermarket, bakery, post office), bars, restaurants and weekly market. Easy driving distance to the coast, golf courses, vineyards (including Whispering Angel!), Gorge du Verdon, and many historic towns – and with good local cycling and walking options. –

Our house is unusually large and well equipped and has been beautifully restored to create a wonderful family home. For families and tennis/sports enthusiasts or those who just like to lie around in the sun, drinking rosé, it is ideal. There are wonderful areas to sit out for dining (vine and wisteria-covered pergolas) – where delicious, long and lazy meals with fresh local food and wine will provide memories for life. The pool which can be heated is unusually large (14 metres long) and has both a very deep end and a large shallow end so is ideal for families, teenagers and adults alike.

There are 5 twin/double bedrooms plus a bunk bed room adjoining the master bedroom. 2 master suites, 1 bedroom with en-suite shower and loo and 2 further bedrooms which share a family bathroom. In addition, for a supplement, there is a separate annex which can sleep a further 4. The large kitchen is extremely well fitted: 2 dishwashers, 4 fridges, 2 freezers, a double oven microwave and table seating 10. There is a further dining room, 2 living rooms, a Bluther piano and the house is filled with toys and games and 1000s of books.

The South facing house stands in 4 acres of meadows, olive trees, terraces and gardens enjoying superb views of the valley below and the surrounding hills. The garden is stocked with hundreds of rose, oleander lavender and rosemary bushes; cherries, figs, plums, apples and almonds all grow near the house. There is a stream running close to the house into the meadow below which also contains the tennis court. There's a boule pitch (boules provided), and table tennis table. The large 14-metre swimming pool is on the same level as, but separate from the house. As it is used as a family home it is not just another anonymous holiday villa but a comfortably furnished home. One of the sitting rooms has a log fire and the house has central heating for cooler months.

There are plenty of poolside sun loungers, 2 further separate outside dining areas.
