A wild and secluded estate —
Corsican sheepfold, private beaches and natural pools
A charming former Corsican sheepfold of 450 sq m of living space, nestled in the heart of a 4-hectare private estate at the foot of the famous Aiguilles de Bavella — 8 bedrooms, 2 private beaches, a river running through the property, and natural pools. Sari-Solenzara, South Corsica. Revised price: €1,800,000 (agency fees included, payable by the seller).
Nestled in the heart of a 4-hectare private estate, at the foot of the famous Aiguilles de Bavella, this former Corsican stone sheepfold embodies the very essence of wild and authentic Corsica. Built respecting traditional materials—stone, wood, and the generous volumes of Corsican peasant architecture—it offers an absolutely unique living environment in one of the island's most spectacular mountain ranges.
The bastide offers 450 m² of living space and 8 bedrooms — an ideal configuration for a large family, an exceptional second home, or a high-end seasonal rental. The generous and light-filled interior spaces are in constant dialogue with the outside landscape — the mountains, the maquis, and the sounds of the water and the Corsican wind create an incomparable sensory environment.
The property's greatest asset lies in its exceptional connection to water and nature. A river flows through the grounds, creating natural pools of crystal-clear water—a luxury that no artificial amenity can match. Two private beaches complete this ensemble, offering direct access to the sea in complete privacy, without sharing or crowds—an absolute rarity on the Corsican coast.

Sari-Solenzara is a commune in South Corsica located on the island's eastern coast, at the mouth of the Solenzara River. Its territory, stretching from the coastline to the peaks of the Bavella massif, boasts exceptional landscape diversity—turquoise sea to the east, Corsican pine forests, and spectacular granite formations to the west. The commune is renowned for the quality of its waters, its beaches (among the most beautiful in Corsica), and its unspoiled natural environment.
The Bavella Massif — a legendary landscape
The Aiguilles de Bavella are one of the most iconic natural sites in Corsica and the Mediterranean. These monumental granite formations, rising to over 1,600 meters, dominate a breathtaking landscape of pine forests, maquis shrubland, and rushing streams. The Bavella Pass is a legendary crossing point, deeply ingrained in the identity of Corsica. Acquiring a property at their foot means living in the heart of a legendary landscape—protected, inviolable, and timeless.
South Corsica — an exceptional real estate market
boasts South Corsica the island's most sought-after addresses—Porto-Vecchio, Bonifacio, Propriano, and the Ajaccio region—and constitutes one of the most dynamic luxury real estate markets in the French Mediterranean. Large properties with land, private access to the sea, and distinctive architecture are extremely rare and structurally in demand by a discerning national and international clientele. Properties of this caliber—a 4-hectare estate, private beaches, a charming stone sheepfold —represent a category virtually impossible to find on the market.
Exceptional seasonal rental potential
Corsica is one of France's most sought-after destinations for high-end vacation rentals. A property of this type—private estate, private beaches, natural pools, 8 bedrooms—generates considerable seasonal rental potential, driven by a demand that structurally exceeds supply in the luxury rental segment in Corsica. The season runs from May to October, with very high peak prices in July and August.

The N198, the main road along the east coast, provides direct access to the town. Regular ferry services connect Corsican ports to Marseille, Nice, Toulon, and Genoa.
