A whirl of leaves from the village of Saint-Paul-de-Vence, this landscape for living of over 2,5 ha has been sculpted by an famous artist, decorator. Here, in the midst of an olive-grove, a wonderful garden laid out on the terraced embankments with stone walls of an old bergerie (sheepfarm), the designer has conjured up minimalist architecture in impeccable white. Because this artist has a passion for white, and also for simple lines, and sublimating the past with a contemporary vision. Welcome to the poetic world of a sensitive soul who has made light and peacefulness her accomplices. Unique and very special, this property will inspire waking dreams in all those who appreciate nature and the arts. The long concrete lap pool stretches out beneath the olive-trees and takes on the colour of the sky, while the residence's living space of some 305 sqm is shared out between the main house, wooden cabins, casettas etc… The play is perfomed backstage! Once through panels of linen, narrow steel doors reaching the ceiling open out to spectacular living space, architectural and all in white. One's gaze wanders through perspectives, around inner patios, and darts upwards towards the library-gallery. Passageways everywhere, open and closed space, semi-partitions and bespoke furnishings signed this artist inhabit the property. In the lounge, a huge hearth recalls the principle of country fireplaces in contemporary style, and a second smaller one fits into the geometry of the walls. Everything is open, yet everything is hidden, an approach adopted by the artist... Here, a small screening room, there, backing onto the dining-room, a kitchen with its Corian counter. Another island of well-being, the bathroom of smooth concrete plays host in still waters to a made-to-measure Corian bathtub. Reflecting the style specific to the decorator, the rigorous design is softened, as always, by the memory of the past. The real talent of this artist is to step naturally from indoor architecture to the scenery while leaving her own imprint. Inside, outside... We thus embark happily on a little path between the olive-trees to arrive... at a crossroad, where three cabins camp out in the middle of the oakwood. A hamlet in the woods? A luxury campsite? A dream for adventurers with a kitchen/dining-room, bedroom, toilet area, and a sitting-room with a projector for an exclusive preview beneath the stars. As in memorable movies, she has staged stones, chunks of trees and natural stools for a delightful get-together at nightfall around a Robinson Crusoe fire. Sharing the property's inspiring tale means heading further into the woods to discover the last casetta, a little house for lovers, planted like a flower in the middle of copses. A perfect blend of the topiary art with architecture, to which the magician of this site holds the secret... In fact, this entire property, is it not a reflection of the artistic landscape of this artist, who cultivates contemporary design with passion against a backcloth comprised of the Mediterranean and a thousand year-old olive-grove…
