Seillans • 2,250,000 €In the enchanting village of Seillans—renowned as one of Les Plus Beaux Villages de France—The Perfume Factory stands as a rare and distinguished estate, where history, elegance, and Provençal art de vivre converge.
Dating back to the late 18th century, this remarkable bastide began its life as a wool sheet factory before evolving into a perfumery, echoing the rich artisanal heritage of the region. Meticulously and comprehensively renovated between 2018 and 2020, it has been exquisitely restored to the highest contemporary standards, seamlessly blending authentic architectural character with refined modern comfort.
Discreetly positioned within the village, the property offers a unique duality: complete privacy paired with immediate access to local life. From the gardens, one steps directly into the pristine landscapes of the Haut Var, with panoramic walking trails unfolding just beyond the doorstep.
Refined Interiors
Designed for both grand entertaining and intimate living, the residence offers 10 bedrooms and suites, thoughtfully arranged across three elegant and adaptable living spaces:
• The principal residence features five beautifully appointed en-suite bedrooms, a generous reception room, and a fully equipped kitchen designed for convivial gatherings.
• “Mahalia”: a charming independent apartment with three bedrooms, a bathroom, and a fully equipped kitchen—ideal for guests or extended family.
• “Amalia”: seamlessly connectable, offering an additional refined living area, two bedrooms, and two bathrooms.
A defining and truly exceptional feature of the estate lies beneath the main residence: a private cinema paired with a fully equipped professional post-production studio. Conceived as a discreet creative retreat, this space elevates the property into a rare category—equally suited to film professionals, artists, and discerning owners seeking an immersive, state-of-the-art environment for screening, editing, or composing. This unique amenity transforms the bastide from a refined residence into a destination of creative expression.
Throughout the property, timeless Provençal elements—such as a stone fireplace—are complemented by carefully curated finishes and modern amenities, creating interiors that are both sophisticated and welcoming.
Landscaped Grounds & Outdoor Living
The estate’s beautifully landscaped gardens provide an idyllic setting for relaxation and entertaining, offering:
• A sun-drenched swimming pool with elegant lounging areas
• A fully equipped summer kitchen with barbecue and refrigeration
• An expansive outdoor dining terrace accommodating large gatherings
• A traditional pétanque court
• Serene garden spaces perfectly suited for yoga, meditation, or quiet retreat
Ample parking, including covered spaces, ensures both convenience and discretion.
An Exceptional Location
Set amidst the rolling hills of the Haut Var, the property enjoys a privileged natural environment while remaining just a short stroll—approximately five minutes—from the heart of the village, with its selection of restaurants, cafés, and artisan shops.
The surrounding region is a tapestry of vineyards, olive groves, forests, and historic chapels.
Perfectly positioned, the property is approximately one hour from Nice International Airport and the TGV station at Draguignan–Les Arcs, with the iconic destinations of Cannes, Antibes, and Saint-Tropez all within easy reach, alongside the breathtaking Gorges du Verdon.
