Some holiday homes are enjoyed for a few weeks each year, while others, over time, become true family homes.
At the heart of Gaou Benat, just a few minutes’ walk from the beach, this property offers an idyllic setting for precisely this way of life.
The approximately 220 sq m house is set within a beautifully landscaped and enclosed 2,700 m2 garden, planted with a remarkable selection of Mediterranean species. Designed in close harmony with its surroundings, the property creates a seamless dialogue between the indoors and outdoors.
Thanks to its triple exposure, every room enjoys a privileged connection with the garden, revealing ever-changing views as the hours and seasons unfold. Large picture windows flood the interiors with natural light, gently dissolving the boundaries between the house and the surrounding landscape.
The living and dining areas open generously onto the terraces and swimming pool, naturally encouraging an outdoor-oriented way of life. The kitchen, complemented by a utility room, extends into a spacious bioclimatic pergola enclosed by large glazed panels and equipped with heating. A true additional living space, it is equally suited to sun-filled lunches and cooler evenings during the shoulder seasons.
The sleeping quarters comprise a suite, a bedroom and an office, leading to a magnificent principal suite opening generously onto the garden. Through its large windows, the view extends across the lush vegetation, with a pleasant glimpse of the sea in the distance.
On the garden level, two further bedrooms, a shower room, a wine cellar and a spacious room dedicated to leisure, sport or games complete the accommodation.
A 70 m2 double garage, several storage/workshop areas and a carport provide ample space for vehicles and equipment.
The carefully designed garden reveals a succession of distinct spaces: areas ideal for large family gatherings, a petanque court for extending summer evenings, play areas for children, as well as more secluded corners in which to read, relax or simply enjoy the tranquillity.
A private gate also provides direct access to the beach and tennis courts, via a pathway through Gaou Benat.
More than a holiday residence, this property is a true family home. A home where one can imagine children moving freely between the garden and the swimming pool, returning from the beach in the late afternoon, enjoying long summer lunches beneath the terraces and playing petanque until sunset.
A place designed for coming together, sharing and creating memories, year after year.
The Domaine du Gaou Benat, located in Bormes-les-Mimosas, is one of the Mediterranean’s most privileged settings.
This private, gated estate, designed by the renowned architect André Lefevre Devaux, extends over more than 160 hectares of beautiful natural landscape. Nestled within this lush environment, the villas, all built from the dry stone sourced from the quarries of Bormes and designed according to a distinctive architectural aesthetic, blend seamlessly into the surrounding pine trees and cork oaks, giving the estate a remarkable sense of unity and a truly unique character.
Set within this exceptional natural environment, between the sea and the hills, the estate offers a range of amenities including tennis courts, a grocery shop, a sailing club and private beaches reserved exclusively for residents.
