The Basics
Overview
Our Analysis
Priced just under the symbolic million-euro mark, this villa sits on a significant 2,242 m² plot in a high-risk wildfire zone, which triggers mandatory and potentially costly brush-clearing (OLD) obligations for the owner. While marketed as a modern bastide, the multi-level layout—including a bedroom at 'pool level'—suggests a steep terrain that may limit usable garden space despite the large plot size. The property’s dependence on reversible air conditioning for both heating and cooling makes seasonal energy costs a primary budget driver to investigate during the due diligence phase.
