About this property
Close to the pretty villages of Callian and Montauroux, Mas Bruyères is a detached country home where nature, charm and comfort come together. An expansive garden stretches out with shady trees and a private swimming pool as its centre-piece.
Inside, this modern home welcomes up to 8 guests. An open-plan kitchen and dining area with a central island and drinks fridge flows out to the garden. The double living room is arranged over split levels for relaxed family gatherings, while the air-conditioned home cinema room, complete with a drop-down screen and surround sound, offers family entertainment after sunset.
There are four attractive bedrooms (three of which can be configured as twins or doubles) spread across two floors, including one on the ground floor, making the layout ideal for both families and groups of friends. Guests also benefit from three bath/shower rooms, one of which is en suite.
Mas Bruyères is designed to make the most of its glorious garden and outdoor space. Rise to the soft rustle of the pines and sip your morning coffee overlooking the large lawned garden. Spend sunny afternoons by the swimming pool *that can be heated for a supplement) or perfect your pétanque skills on the boules court. As evening falls, fire up the barbecue and dine al-fresco on the covered terrace.
The home sits less than 2km from the cobbled lanes and restaurant terraces of Callian (a short drive or a 20-minute downhill walk) whilst picturesque Montauroux is just a little further by car with its weekly market. The Mediterranean coast is around 40 minutes away, while nearby attractions include the glider flights of Fayence, watersports at Lac de Saint-Cassien and world-class golf at Terre Blanche.
From the lavender fields of Grasse to the nightlife of Cannes and Juan-les-Pins, this captivating region is rich with excursions.
Located on a small residential country lane less than 2km from the hilltop village of Callian, Mas Bruyères offers a picturesque base for exploring the beauty and charm of the French Riviera hinterland, only 40minutes from the coastline of the Côte d’Azur.
Callian itself is a jewel among France’s most beautiful villages, where you’ll find characterful stone buildings, panoramic views and a warm Provençal welcome in its café-bars and restaurants. You can walk to the village in around 20 minutes following local country roads (downhill, no pavements) or it’s a 2-3 minutes drive.
Just a little further, the neighbouring village of Montauroux (4km) provides further amenities, including a bakery, general store and a bustling Tuesday market. Larger supermarkets are conveniently located within a 5 to 10-minute drive, ensuring daily essentials are always within easy reach. Meanwhile, the A8 motorway is just 15 minutes away, making coastal day trips a breeze, while Nice airport is under an hour’s drive.
The area offers an exceptional range of leisure activities. Just across the valley lies the prestigious Terre Blanche Golf and Spa (7km), home to two championship courses and a world-class wellness centre. For outdoor enthusiasts, Lac de Saint-Cassien is a 15-minute drive away, perfect for summer kayaking, pedalos or lakeside picnics. Nearby Fayence is famed for its gliding centre, offering unforgettable aerial views of the beautiful landscapes, while horse riding, forest biking trails and vineyard visits offer something for every interest.
For coastal adventures, the Mediterranean beckons with gorgeous beaches at places such as Fréjus Plage (35km), Théoule-sur-Mer (36km) and glamorous Cannes (39km). Cultural highlights include Grasse (25km), the world’s perfume capital, where visitors can explore fragrance museums, tour historic factories or even create their own bespoke scent.
Further afield, Antibes (48km) offers stylish nightlife, and the dramatic Gorges du Verdon, less than two hours by car, promises breathtaking scenery and crystal-clear waters for kayaking and swimming.
