About this property

Stunning House in protected natural forest by Lac St Cassien

Quartier Patareou is a unique, rustic, tranquil, secluded and completely renovated pretty stone house, in protected, natural forest next to Lac de St Cassien, Montauroux in the Pays de Fayence. The house has beautiful views over the Lac de St Cassien and is accessed on a forest road. The lake is a short walk down a forest path - we use it as our “swimming pool”.
This is an ideal property for those who want to feel like they got away from it all, yet it is about 45 minutes from Nice airport and about 15 minutes from the nearest supermarket. The beautiful villages of Montauroux, Callian, La Tourettes, Fayence and Seillans with lovely restaurants and local markets are easily accessible.
In summary the property sleeps 8-10:
Ground Floor
Family suite:
Bedroom 1: 1 Double (sleeps 2) walk through to
Bedroom 2: 2 Single Beds (sleeps 2)
en-suite Shower room
1 Kitchen/Dining room
1 Separate guests toilet

First Floor
Bedroom 3: 1 Double (sleeps 2)
en-suite Shower room

Second Floor/Attic
Bedroom 4: 2 single (fold into doubles) (sleeps 2 (4 on request))
en-suite Shower room
The house has central heating, a washing machine, dishwasher and a spectacular SMEG cooker. There is a TV (with limited channels) and DVD player.
There is a small electric Webber BBQ.
Our housekeeper will meet and greet you and provide the keys. She only speaks French but we are available by telephone.
The house is entered from the terrace into a bright, spacious kitchen/dining room. To the right is a family suite consisting of a large double bedroom with an en-suite shower room and walk through to a second, children’s bedroom.
To the left of the kitchen/dining room is a stone and beamed salon with a fireplace. A staircase leads up to a double bedroom with an en-suite shower room and up again to an attic bedroom with two single beds that can expand into doubles and an en-suite shower room.
The terrace runs around three sides of the house. The land consists of 10,000 square meters and is rugged in keeping with the natural protected nature of the forest.
The beaches of Port de la Rague, Cannes Mandelieu and Theole sur Mer are about 30 minutes away. The exceptional golf resort of Terre Blanche is about 15 minutes away and the Old Course at Cannes is about 30 minutes away. Lac de St Cassien is well known for Carp fishing and at the far end of the lake, next to the bridge, is a water park with paddle-board, pedallo hire etc. The surrounding area is ideal for cycling (the Tour de France passed a few years ago), mountain-biking, running, horse-riding, golf, tennis, fishing, swimming in the lake or just relaxing and enjoying yourself with family and friends
The house is in protected forest so a car is required and the last part of the access is on an unmade forest road.

Rural rustic charming house
We had a lovely relaxing holiday.The house is as attractive as the photographs suggest. It is in the middle of the forest and so it does feel like you are getting away from it all. There are a couple of houses nearby but you really feel on your own. Access is along a long forest road.The last stretch is unmade and the drive of the house proved a challenge.I was glad I had a 4x4! It has a commanding position above the lake, providing beautiful views . The lake is particularly tranquil in the morning and was our favorite time for a swim.Access is down a steep track,or longer route,not really suitable for flip flops! It's a great spot for wild swimming, but there are supervised beaches around the lake. The house is very comfortable and well equipped and ideal for two couples and young families.We enjoyed dining out on the terrace -just remember the mosquito repellent!!!

Agréable séjour
Cadre idyllique, propriétaire sympa et très réactif. Le séjour était top ! Accès un peu difficile en voiture (chemin abîmé en arrivant à la maison).

Très bon séjour
Très bon séjour au bord du lac, au calme et entourés de verdure. La maison est très bien équipée et nous avons apprécié les grandes baies vitrées qui apportent lumière et vue sur le lac et la forêt.

About the host

Hosted by Craig and Zhenia Jacobs

Host profile image
We are an international family from South Africa and Russia. Based in in the UK this is our family holiday house. We have three children who have all spent the majority of their holidays in this stunning part of the South of France.

Why they chose this property

We bought this property because we have always enjoyed spending holidays in the South of France. Like so many people we love the climate, food, wine, culture and meeting friends and family, both local and international. I spent many happy family holidays in the South of France and used to go windsurfing on Lac St Cassien. as a teenager. When we started looking for a house we were thrilled come across the rare opportunity to purchase this beautiful stone house in protected natural forest by the lake. Although the lake is 7km long and over 1km wide there are only about 8 houses by the lake.

What makes this property unique

There are very few houses by the lake. Therefore although you are not far from the local villages, Cannes and Nice airport (45 minutes away) the house is wonderfully peaceful and quiet. Being so close to the lake we are able to use it as our swimming pool. The house was completely renovated about 3 years ago. Unlike many old stone houses the house has large windows overlooking the lake.
