Varages: an Exceptional, Restored 17th-Century Mansion with 6 Bedrooms, Garage and Swimming Pool

Property Description

In the heart of Varages, a charming Provençal village in the Haut-Var, renowned for its tradition of faience production since the 17th and 18th centuries, this elegant, restored mansion combines with sensitivity the charm of bygone days and modern comfort. The village is lively all year round and offers all necessary shops and services nearby, as well as a museum dedicated to its rich ceramic heritage.

With 440 m² of living space and roots dating back to March 1609, this remarkable property has undergone an exceptional quality restoration, carried out with respect for its history and authenticity. It retains many old elements, including visible stone walls, French ceilings with exposed beams, old terracotta floors and a magnificent stone floor.

As soon as you enter the property, the majestic original door opens onto a large hall with a 17th-century stone floor and an elegant French ceiling. Wrought iron doors lead to a semi-professional, fully equipped kitchen with a stone sink and a Lacanche kitchen, as well as to a pleasant living and dining room with a visible stone wall. Then, an inner courtyard opens onto a peaceful, walled garden, a true paradise where a charming swimming pool and several fruit trees are located.

This level also includes a large office, a laundry room, guest toilets and a large garage. In the basement, there is a magnificent 70 m² French loft that completes the property.

A beautiful wooden staircase leads to the first floor, where a spacious reception room with a French ceiling with exposed beams, old terracotta floors, a Baron-style fireplace and a small kitchenette is located. This level also includes 2 large bedrooms, each with its own bathroom with toilet.

The upper floor offers 2 large bedrooms with Velux windows and oval windows, providing good natural light and a view of the village square. 2 additional bedrooms, also with Velux windows, offer a pleasant view of the garden. All bedrooms are air-conditioned and have their own bathroom or toilet. The facades are particularly well maintained, with brass taps, high-quality finishes and ceramic sinks, locally produced.

This property was awarded a prize for architectural heritage in 2025 for the quality of the restoration and the use of authentic materials, and enchants with its character, elegance and history.

A property with charm, ideal for a large family or for carrying out high-end seasonal rental activity. Patricia TOOHEY
