Villa d'Azur is a villa conceived as a work of art, the Neoilluminist Artwork inspired by the music of Claude Debussy "Images", as presented in the Channel 4 Production "A Place in the Sun" with Laura Hamilton. It is situated in France, in the most ecological area of Europe (Nouvelle Aquitaine, Correze) which is the land preferred and chosen by the French Presidents, designated for its outstanding natural beauty and historic heritage, together with the environmental and social safety. Correze benefits from the best roads in France which were conceived at the initiative of the President Jacques Chirac when he moved to reside not far from the Villa d'Azur back in the 1970s, and roads also run through the forest and are well maintained with tarmac to this day. The villa benefits from perfect dominant position, with 360 degrees unobstructed view and 100% guaranteed absolutely flood-free geographical position "past, present and future"! A rare "bijoux" which could be compared to a "Shangri La" of James Hilton novel "The Lost Horizon"! It is sold ready to move in and enjoy comfortable stay, whether for a very private holiday or permanently.
This is a remarkable and unique villa displays incredibly hundreds of square metres of artwork. The villa has a total floor space of 450m2 (336m2 main residence + service floor area), a total of 1,155 cubic metres and it's entire outer surface, the swimming pool, surrounding terraces, floor areas and stairways are real works of art in a fine glass mosaic, as well as internally many doors and wall surfaces display true works of art by the distinguished Italian Artist and founder of the Neo-illuminist Art. The external parts of the villa had been inspired by the music of Claude Debussy "Images" and the Solomon's Temple, featuring the chequered board pattern artwork at the entrance and the swimming pool area.
The property is completely fenced around and posses it's own botanical garden/park, established over the last 50 years. 310 mature trees form a natural border 8-9 metres in height, providing total privacy. The mosaic has a marvellous tendency of not requiring cleaning, as it is self-cleaned by rain and air. Water is supplied by the local commune direct from the natural spring, hence is very pure, free of chlorine and lime scale. Around 1 hour from the city of Limoges with excellent international transport links.
Less than an hour from the historic town of Limoges (famous for its porcelain dating back to the 18th Century), in the heart of a National Park renowned for it's outstanding natural beauty. The Villa was originally designed and built in 1973 as an “avant-guard” architectural piece, for the industrial heir of the Limoges Porcelain by a renowned Limoges Architect. Andre Pecaud. This property possesses an extremely privileged habitat, a Mediterranean micro-climate, peace, complete privacy and tranquillity, an enviable panoramic view, and just five minutes away from the nearest small town with variety of services. There are two large tourist lakes in the vicinity, golf and equine activities, and also kayak-canoe activity, and other interesting sites as the unique village with fairy-tale houses "toites de chaume" and ancient Roman site with their plumbing innovations of that era!
There is also a racecourse at the Pompadour Chateau at just 1 hour drive from the villa. Since 1837 the Pompadour Horse-racing Association has organised annual horse racing events during the summer, on the flat and over jumps. The racecourse (hippodrome) at Pompadour, rated as 1st Class for jumps and 2nd class A on the flat is considered to be one of the most beautiful in France. The races at Pompadour are of real quality. In fact, many horses pass through this Correzian town on their way to other events in Paris or Pau. The whole racecourse site extends over some 30 hectares, with about 2 hectares of track and can accommodate up to 1500 spectators in the stand with 1050 sitting down. Parking is available at the entrance to the course, or in the parking area for the Château. There is a panoramic restaurant and snack bars for spectators on the top floor, with betting outlets for the Pari Mutuel Hippodrome.
