A Guide To Inspire: Buying A Dream Home In The South Of France with Co-Ownership

Homes In Southern France To Dream About

‍

Many consider buying a vacation house in France, and for good reason. The beautiful villages of les Alpes-Maritimes make perfect backdrops for unique properties that with some thoughtful design attention, can be restored and enhanced to create the most welcoming homes. Less than an hour away from the coast, with some as little as 15 minutes from Nice airport, close to Cannes and with sweeping views of the verdant and arid landscape (depending on the season), since inception, as defined in The August Way, our team has expertly acquired and renovated a handful of gems in the South of France.

Here we look at some of our latest Signature and Premium Collection additions to inspire those with a penchant for the finer things in France, and for those who simply love to indulge in a little European escapism.

‍

Signature Collection, Sartoux

‍

Starting with a beautiful property in Mouans-Sartoux (close to Valbonne), part of the Sartoux Collection, this 4-bed, 3-bath villa has a divine pool and breathtaking forested views over the hilly landscape.

‍

‍

The interiors are fresh and authentic, with restored terracotta floors and textured, rustic elements that speak to its Provençal roots. From the open plan layout to the natural light that pours into every space, this home is primed for relaxing in and entertaining guests throughout the year. For this, it is simply adored by its Collection Homeowners.

Signature Collection, Cozzile

‍

Half an hour northeast, you will come to our next Signature Collection Home in Le Rouret, located equally as close to Valbonne as the Sartoux home. Boasting idyllic southern French-style interiors that punctuate the surrounding verdant landscape, this villa feels magical.

‍

‍

The acquisition team found a true gem here.  The property itself is tucked away in forested grounds and comes with plenty of rustic details, including typical French windows, shutters and terracotta tile roofs of the region. The property's south-facing orientation means the home is doused in sunlight in all seasons, while three bedrooms and two bathrooms make it the ideal size to accommodate families and guests.

‍

‍

With an outdoor dining area and pool, an afternoon dip followed by a long evening enjoying the tranquil surroundings with your nearest and dearest is one of the best ways to enjoy this dream home in the South of France.

‍

Signature Collection, Les Virettes

‍

Following the successful launch of Violettes and Picholines Collection homes in Tourettes-sur-Loup and Châteauneuf-Grasse, the beautiful Les Virettes Collection home followed. The images speak for themselves in this provencal home of sublime character: charming outside spaces, peppered with palm trees, and local stone capture the region’s uniqueness.

‍

‍

With both pretty sea and imposing views of the verdant landscape from the balcony, this villa comes with relaxed authenticity and a dash of glamour. It was originally a family house owned by locals in the area is just a 5-minute drive to the picturesque village of Tourrettes-sur-Loup.

‍

‍

Whether you want a day spent tucked away in your own retreat or to explore the sights of les Alpes-Maritimes this makes the perfect destination for relaxing summers and beyond.

Premium Collection, Fornalutx

‍

For those dreaming of co-ownership in the South of France, with elevated luxury and even more room to host, a Premium Collection home like our hilltop villa in Tourrettes-sur-Loup is the answer.

‍

‍

Originally built in 1972, the property has been through a body of renovation work over the years, including an extension, by two sets of previous owners. Now, in true August fashion, the design team have breathed new life into the design and thoughtfully restored its unique architectural features for a home that delights the senses and restores the soul.
