Description
À Cassis, tout le monde veut être au plus près du port.<br>Mais le vrai luxe, c'est parfois de pouvoir y aller à pied, et rentrer au calme.<br>À 20 minutes de marche seulement, cette maison contemporaine de plain-pied, construite en 2019, offre précisément cet équilibre : la proximité sans l'agitation; et la tranquillité grâce à sa résidence fermée et sécurisée.<br>Derrière son architecture aux lignes tendues et son toit plat, elle déploie un mode de vie fluide, lumineux, presque évident.<br>Implantée sur 700 m² de terrain paysager orienté sud-ouest, elle capte la lumière jusqu'aux dernières heures du jour.<br>L'espace principal, près de 60 m², s'ouvre largement sur la terrasse et la piscine. Les baies effacent les frontières. On circule naturellement entre intérieur et extérieur, entre ombre et soleil.<br>Cinq chambres composent la maison, dont une suite parentale de 40 m² avec terrasse privative. Un espace à part, tourné vers les vignes, propice au calme et aux réveils doux.<br>Le jardin accueille les longues soirées d'été.<br>Un studio indépendant permet de recevoir, travailler ou préserver l'autonomie de chacun.<br>Ici, on peut rejoindre le port à pied pour un café le matin, un dîner le soir? puis retrouver la sérénité d'un quartier préservé.<br>Une adresse stratégique.<br>Une maison récente.<br>Un mode de vie équilibré. (3.95 % d'honoraires TTC à la charge de l'acquéreur.) Laura GOUAILHARDOU (EI) Agent Commercial - Numéro RSAC : 887 645 166 - SALON-DE-PROVENCE.

Next steps for moving to France
Interested in this property? Here's how to move forward.
Understand the buying rules
Foreign ownership laws vary wildly by country. Some welcome you, others restrict or ban foreign buyers entirely.
Sort out your visa
Owning property doesn't give you the right to live there. Research residency options before you buy.
Plan your finances
Understand currency risk, international wire transfers, and whether you can get a local mortgage.
Know your tax obligations
US citizens are taxed on worldwide income. You'll need to file US taxes from abroad and may owe local taxes too.
Set up healthcare
Medicare doesn't cover you overseas. You'll need international health insurance or a local plan.
Run the full checklist
Banking, mail forwarding, power of attorney, pet import rules — the complete pre-move checklist.
