'Cambaras' was originally built as a hunting lodge for a local chateau
around 1830. Raised on the higher ground of Collet de Christine, the house and surrounding terraces provide extended views
over open fields to the picturesque village of Fayence in the Provence region. The lodge was built elegantly in stone with intricate detail applied
to window mouldings, the 'trompe l'oeil' exterior paintwork, elegant proportions and balustrades. Internally, Italian fresco
painters applied their skills to the ceilings. Continuing the Italian theme, the driveway was planted with an avenue of Lebanese
cedars, now grown into majestic giants. The original concept was to create a gem of a property, unique
within its surrounding landscape. Today, the property
stands out as even more unusual - secluded within its stone perimeter walls - while all around it has changed. 'Cambaras'
hails from another age in terms of style, character and charm. The present: The current owners (an artist and an architect) set about the total restoration of
the house and 4,200 square metre grounds. This extensive work, carried out by local craftsmen, included constructing a 14
metre swimming pool, an artist's studio in the garden converted from an old stone reservoir, and a south-facing living room
extension. - The ground floor consists of an entrance
foyer, airy living room, elegant frescoed dining room and kitchen. - The first floor is dedicated exclusively to the master suite, with a large bedroom and bathroom. - The second floor has two bedrooms and a charming bathroom. - The lower ground floor currently comprises an office, fourth bedroom and ensuite bathroom/laundry.
There is a separate entrance onto a courtyard patio. - The
artist's studio is set independently in the grounds and was built to offer excellent light via six ceiling-mounted Velux windows. - The large garden offers a choice of tiled terraces for flexible living
and entertaining. The extensive pool terrace offers privacy and tranquility. The future: Almost two hundred years of history make this 'petit chateau' so special. The ancient
balustrades, magnificent stone well, mature trees and unique atmosphere all contribute to this very private, peaceful oasis.
