Contemporary House and Renovated Building in a Green Setting Near the Port

Property Description

On a 1,055 m2 plot in the heart of La Ciotat, a rare property: two independent houses, a single ensemble.
The historic part, a 20th-century building carefully renovated (natural plasters, wooden joinery, generous volumes), houses two autonomous dwellings of 44 and 60 m2 with preserved character.
The contemporary part, of 160 m2, is organized in three streamlined volumes around a pool, in the spirit of the Mediterranean cabanon. Living spaces, three bedrooms, an independent studio and a dressing room unfold fluidly between interior and exterior, connected by a footbridge, opening onto terraces and patios that act as additional rooms.
What really distinguishes this property is its relationship with nature and life. The plot is planted with exceptional botanical diversity — bamboos, eucalyptus, pines, oaks, palms, yuccas — and a century-old pine literally traverses one of the volumes. A dense canopy naturally regulates temperature, preserves privacy, and makes each outdoor space a place in its own right.
The contemporary house is cross-shaped: designed to catch sea breezes and ensure permanent natural ventilation. No air conditioning or plastic rolling shutters — a sober and intelligent architecture that relies on thermal inertia, shade, and air circulation rather than energy-intensive equipment.
A multi-use property: main family residence, shared holiday home, multi-occupancy project, or seasonal rental investment — the four independent volumes configuration offers a rare freedom of organization on the market.
