In the heights of Saint-Clair, life slows to a sun-warmed rhythm—coffee outside, bare feet on the terrace, and long afternoons that drift into golden evenings. This ground-floor one-bedroom apartment offers 54.85 m² of thoughtfully designed interiors, opening to 64.30 m² of private outdoor space with a terrace and garden. Light-Filled and south-facing, it is created for effortless indoor-outdoor living, with premium finishes and a calm, secure residence setting. A refined base for days at the beach, harbour lunches, and year-round Var Riviera escapes.

A Riviera Rhythm, Lived Outdoors
In Saint-Clair, the days begin with a softer kind of light. The neighbourhood&rsquo s atmosphere is unmistakably Var Riviera&mdash calm, residential, and closely connected to the sea&mdash where mornings feel unhurried and evenings arrive with that golden glow the Mediterranean does so well. From this gentle hillside setting above Le Lavandou, you slip easily into a lifestyle shaped by simple pleasures: a walk for fresh bread, a cycle down towards the harbour, a beach lunch that stretches into late afternoon.
Set within an intimate, contemporary residence of just 15 apartments, this south-facing ground-floor home (Unit B001) captures that feeling of ease and translates it into a space designed for modern coastal living. Inside, 54.85 m² of well-composed interiors open out to an exceptional 64.30 m² of private outdoor space&mdash an invitation to live as much in the open air as you do indoors.
Light, Flow, and Everyday Elegance
The apartment is arranged as a classic and highly livable two-room layout, with each area placed to support a natural daily rhythm. From the moment you arrive, the sense is of calm and clarity&mdash spaces that feel easy to furnish, easy to move through, and quietly refined in their finish.
A Welcoming Arrival
An entrance hall (4.90 m² ) provides a defined threshold between outside and inside, creating a practical buffer for day-to-day living. It leads smoothly into the heart of the home while keeping the layout composed and private.
The Social Heart: Living Room & Kitchen
The central living space is a generous 28.60 m² living room with open-plan kitchen, designed to bring people together without sacrificing comfort. It is the kind of volume that supports both relaxed, everyday life and more sociable moments&mdash an aperitif after the beach, a slow Sunday brunch, a dinner shared with friends before wandering down to the waterfront.
Large glazed openings and the apartment&rsquo s south-facing orientation help the living area feel naturally bright, with daylight shaping the atmosphere throughout the year. The connection to the terrace makes the whole room feel larger still, extending the living space outdoors whenever the weather invites it&mdash which, in Le Lavandou, is often.
Restful Bedroom Proportions
The bedroom is a comfortable 14.10 m² , offering a quiet retreat at the end of the day. Its proportions allow for a restful layout and a sense of breathing space&mdash ideal for a primary residence, a refined second home, or a lock-up-and-leave base by the sea.
Bathroom Comfort, Separate WC
The apartment includes a bathroom (5.30 m² ) and a separate Wc (1.95 m² )&mdash a detail that adds everyday convenience, especially when hosting guests. The residence&rsquo s specification emphasises clean lines and contemporary comfort, including full-height wall tiling in the bathroom and a vanity unit with mirror and integrated lighting (as per plans).
Designed to Feel Good: Quality Specifications
This home benefits from a high-quality finish palette chosen for durability, comfort, and a quietly premium feel&mdash ideal for a coastal lifestyle where you want things to be elegant, but also easy.

Large sliding bay windows in the living areas
Smooth paint finish throughout
80 x 80 cm tiled flooring in all rooms
Electric roller shutters in the living room and bedroom
Reversible individual air conditioning via ducted heat pump

The result is a home that feels contemporary and composed&mdash cool in the summer, comfortable across seasons, and suited to both full-time living and effortless holidays.
64.30 m² of Private Outdoor Life
One of the defining pleasures of this apartment is how naturally it extends outside. With a total of 64.30 m² of exterior space, the home offers that sought-after Saint-Clair lifestyle: open doors, open air, and a seamless flow between inside and out.
Terrace for Morning Coffee and Late Dinners
The 14.20 m² terrace is perfectly sized for outdoor dining and relaxed seating. Imagine long lunches in the shade, a book and a cold drink in the afternoon, or a candlelit table as the temperature softens in the evening. With lighting provided outside, the terrace becomes a true extra room after sunset.
A Private Garden to Make Your Own
Beyond the terrace, a 50.10 m² private garden adds an extra layer of freedom. It&Rsquo S a place for potted citrus and aromatic herbs, for sun loungers and slow afternoons, or simply for that rare sense of having your own green space by the coast. This garden level configuration brings a villa-like ease to apartment living&mdash perfect for those who crave outdoor space without the maintenance demands of a standalone house.
A Calm, Secure Contemporary Residence
The residence is designed to sit gently into its hillside setting, with architecture that favours soft lines and a light palette&mdash tones of beige and sand that reflect the southern sun. Landscaping is carefully composed with a distinctly Mediterranean character, featuring olive trees, palms, mimosas, lime trees, and jacarandas&mdash a planted setting that brings shade, texture, and seasonal scent.
Everyday peace of mind is built into the residence&rsquo s infrastructure, with features designed for comfort and security:

Secured access with Vigik keys and videophone system
Reinforced, insulated entrance door with 3-point lock
Lift serving all floors and basements
Secure basement parking with individual remote controls
Equipped bicycle storage rooms
Entrance halls and landings decorated by the project architect

It&rsquo s an environment that feels intimate and considered&mdash ideal for owners who value discretion, quality, and a sense of calm on arrival.
Saint-Clair & Le Lavandou: Everything Within Easy Reach
Saint-Clair is cherished for its rare balance: the serenity of a seaside enclave with the practicality of a neighbourhood that works year-round. Life here feels pleasantly walkable and cycle-friendly, with daily needs close at hand and the coastline always calling.
From the residence, the essentials are refreshingly near:

Approximately 700 m to Saint-Clair beach, its beach restaurants, and waterfront promenade
Approximately 160 m to a convenience store and bar/newsagent
Approximately 300 m to the Saint-Clair primary school and the chapel, a focal point of the neighbourhood
About 5 minutes by bike via a cycle track to the port of Le Lavandou and the lively town centre

Le Lavandou itself brings energy and charm in every season&mdash harbour life, markets, terraces, and that easygoing coastal spirit that makes returning feel like a small exhale. For a deeper Provenç al note, Bormes-les-Mimosas lies just a short drive away, with its medieval lanes and flower-filled streets.
Beyond the Bay: Var Riviera Highlights
From this part of the coast, the wider Var opens up beautifully. The Massif des Maures offers forested trails and panoramic viewpoints for walkers and nature lovers, while the coastline invites days shaped by the water&mdash sailing, diving, or simply exploring hidden coves along the coastal paths.
Travel connections support both weekend use and longer stays:

Bus stop around 300 m (Saint-Clair la Chapelle) with routes towards Saint-Tropez and Toulon
Hyè res train station about 35 minutes by car (towards Toulon and Marseille)
Toulon-Hyè res airport about 30 minutes by car with national and international flights
Motorway access (A57) around 30 minutes by car via Hyè res
Le Lavandou harbour around 3 minutes by bike, with shuttle departures to Î le du Levant and Port-Cros, and beyond

This is a home that fits beautifully into many lifestyles: a refined second residence for summers by the sea, a year-round base with everything close, or an elegant retreat where outdoor living becomes part of everyday life.
