A beautifully renovated stone villa with a heated indoor pool, a spa floor and a fenced, landscaped park, in the hills of the Terre Matildiche.
If you want space for a large family, a home that works for guests, or a property with commercial potential, this estate offers all three. The villa is cadastrally registered as a single house but is laid out as two independent apartments, each with its own entrance and private garage. The shared floors below and between them hold the pool, the spa, a cinema room and an oversized kitchen.
THE LAYOUT
Apartment A has a living room with a stone fireplace and double-height ceilings, an eat-in kitchen, a dining room, a study and three bedrooms, with a wardrobe and a bathroom with shower on the top floor. Apartment B (192.63 m²) has a living room, dining room, eat-in kitchen and two double bedrooms with two dressing rooms and two bathrooms. Between them the villa has six double bedrooms and six bathrooms, plus three kitchens and three dining rooms, so two households or a large group can live here comfortably.
THE WELLNESS LEVEL
The lower level is the centrepiece:
- Heated indoor pool (10 x 8 m), usable all year
- Hammam (Turkish bath) and solar showers
- Private cinema room and gym
- Vaulted tavern with a very large kitchen
- Wine and cured-meat cellar
UPSTAIRS AND OUTSIDE
A heated glass terrace looks out over the hills in every season. Outside, a 70 m² covered porch has space for 5 to 6 cars, and there is a raised "stilt-house" gazebo with barbecue and sun deck. The grounds cover roughly 10,000 m² of planted, double-fenced parkland with automatic irrigation and country paths through the woodland. A further 18,000 m² of fenced land, and two adjoining rustic buildings, can be bought separately.

With 25 years running a successful communications agency in Cardiff, I built a career on crafting compelling stories — but real estate was always the one that called to me.
A Welsh speaker and proud Francophile, I studied Economics at the University of Toulouse, and France never really left my blood. When Brexit and Covid reshaped the world in ways none of us anticipated, I chose to see the disruption as an invitation — and made the move I'd always dreamed of. I'm now a proud French resident, based on the Côte d'Azur.
My passion for property is anything but theoretical. I've undertaken multiple renovation projects in the UK, owned a property in Paris, and worked as an agent for luxury real estate agencies in both Paris and London. That hands-on experience — combined with a deep love for this region — naturally drew my focus to luxury sales and rentals in the South of France.
My journey in France began in October 2020, arriving as a long-term guest at Cinq & Sept in Roujan. By 2022, that journey had found its shape: I co-founded Polarius International Real Estate alongside my business partner Lee Michael Horan. I now live in sunny Nice.
Beyond property, I'm a committed LGBTIQA+ advocate — and I'm particularly proud to have organised the first-ever Pride event in Llantwit Major, the coastal town in Wales where my story began.
