9TH Century Oriental Beauty in Toulon
Overlooking the bay of Tamaris, in the harbor of Toulon, this oriental house from the late 19th century (HH-11411038) is located and was built for French sailor, Michel Pacha, famous for his construction of many Arab-Andalusian-style mansions at the end of the 19th century. Pacha had attracted the favors of Sultan Abdulmecid by modernizing the whole Ottoman system of lighthouses and beacons, which enabled him to obtain the concession of the quays of the ports of Istanbul and to accumulate a colossal fortune.
The house, exposed to the east, was built 50 meters from the water. It is protected from the cornice by its green garden. The white facade is adorned with blue shutters in the Sidi Bou Said style, with inlaid friezes of glazed earthenware tiles and curved outlines in arc-shaped horseshoe-shaped domes. The small minaret on the panoramic terrace at the roof and the carved crescent above a door accentuate its oriental character. The terrace is lined with white merlons. Beneath the windows on the first floor, the lighteners are formed of geometric drawings with bricks. A small balcony bordered by balusters extends the dining room on the ground floor. The land, which extends mostly in front of the house, is planted with oleanders, palm trees and magnolia dominated by a large parasol pine.
To the west, behind the building, are numerous outbuildings including two garages, a caretaker’s apartment and five bedrooms. The extent of the land would allow for a swimming pool to be added. The house, with a habitable surface of 330 m2, is accessible either by the corniche via the garden or by a small street located to the west. The back forms a small courtyard where it is possible to park a few cars.
The house is visionary in many respects. First because it is the fruit of the passion of a man, Michel Pacha, child of Sanary and creator of Tamaris, who made a fortune in the 1870’s by putting his nautical knowledge at the service of the Ottoman sultan. Hence this architectural and sentimental wink evokes Sidi Bou Said and the banks of the Bosphorus. Then because the panorama that it offers on the bay furrowed by fishing boats and boats of all sizes is as stunning as picturesque.
Finally, because it is well illuminated and offers relaxing volumes bathed in a decor almost untouched. At the price of an overall refreshment, the buyer will be able to house a large family in a very Belle Epoque atmosphere. Guests can also be accommodated in the numerous outbuildings, knowing that a boat shuttle is nearby makes it possible to travel directly to the train station and the market of Toulon. Priced at €1,680,000.
