The Locality
This spacious South-West facing house is situated in just under one acre of terraced hillside garden, once the ancient olive groves that surrounded the pretty mediaeval hilltop village of Callian, just ten minutes walk from the house. The views look south some 25km to the Massif de l’Esterel and Massif des Maures, the mountain ranges bordering the Mediterranean towns and beaches of Cannes, St Raphael, Fréjus, St Maxime and St Tropez. Beaches at Cannes and Fréjus can be reached in 30 - 45 minutes.
Lac de St Cassien is just 15 minutes from the house where you can swim, hire pedalos and canoes, and there are a number of restaurants by the lake. There is a tennis club in Callian and also horse riding. Fayence aerodrome is a big gliding centre and a qualified instructor can take you up for a flight. The mountainous terrain to the north provides plenty of opportunity for cyclists, walkers, including the Grand Canyon du Verdon. For golfers there are six courses within 30km and just across the valley, only 5km away, two world class 18 hole golf courses at “Terre Blanche”.
