Top location for this most outstanding property
In the heart of the valley of the communes of Saint-Vallier de Thiey and Escragnolles, the Domaine des Sources de la Siagne, surrounded by forests from which the famous springs of the Siagne gush forth, is home to an exceptional property. On 50 hectares, the estate offers a sublime main building, 6 charming bastides, a magnificent mill, a unique sheepfold as well as various outbuildings; all bordered by sparkling rivers and splendid water basins.
Another 72 hectares can also be added to the "kingdom" and thus complete this sublime natural setting that surrounds it.
The "Gorges de la Siagne" have been introduced, since March 2010, at the heart of the Natura 2000 program, bringing together European natural sites of great heritage value for the exceptional flora and fauna they contain. This program - aimed at preserving species and natural environments - as well as its name bring an additional recognition to the great value of the existence of the Domaine des Sources de la Siagne.
At the bottom of the natural Cirque des Sources de la Siagne, at an average altitude of 650 meters, the Domain is sheltered from the prevailing winds by the surrounding mountains. Its geographical location gives it a very healthy climate, with dry air of rare purity and incomparable sunshine due to the opening of the Cirque de la Siagne to the south towards the sea.
The main building: Le Castel
In the heart of a park of about 17 hectares, in a green setting in the heart of the estate, emerges the main building: the Castel. In this enchanting green setting, it is sublimely surrounded by the blue and turquoise waters flowing from the Garbiou and Saint-Martin springs.
The structure of this unique, timeless bastide bears witness to the work of many generations who have contributed to the successive expansion of this bourgeois residence. Indeed, the exclusive architectural inspiration of the 17th century gives this exceptional residence a unique character: the picturesque aspect of the buildings, their roofs, the inner courtyard forming an old-fashioned paved patio at the heart of the facades ...
