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

Property Description

On a plot of 1.055 m² in the heart of La Ciotat, a rare property: two independent houses, one single unit. The historic part, a carefully renovated early 20th-century building (natural plaster, wooden joinery, generous volumes), houses two independent apartments of 44 and 60 m2 with preserved character. The contemporary section, covering 160 m2, is organized into three clean-lined volumes around a swimming pool, in the spirit of a Mediterranean cabana. Living spaces, three bedrooms, an independent studio and a dressing room flow seamlessly between indoors and outdoors, linked by a walkway, opening onto terraces and patios that serve as additional rooms. What truly distinguishes this property is its connection to nature and living things. The plot is planted with an exceptional diversity of vegetation bamboo, eucalyptus, pines, oaks, palms, yuccas and a century-old pine tree literally grows through one of the buildings. A dense canopy naturally regulates the temperature, preserves privacy, and makes each outdoor space a unique haven. The contemporary house is designed to allow natural ventilation through to the outside: to capture sea breezes and ensure constant airflow. No air conditioning or plastic roller shutters? A simple and intelligent architecture that relies on thermal inertia, shade, and air circulation rather than energy-intensive equipment. A property for multiple uses: main family residence, shared holiday home, multi-housing project or seasonal rental investment? The configuration in four independent volumes offers a rare freedom of organization on the market.
