Antica Casa Colonica Baudet De Sade Del XVII Secolo Con Parco All'italiana, Con Vista Sul

17th-century former Baudet de Sade farmhouse with Italian-style parkland, overlooking the Sorgues region and its illustrious isle in the Vaucluse . Formerly a smallholding attached to the Baudet de Sade estate, the property is said to have belonged to Abbé Jacques de Sade, uncle of the illustrious ”divine marquis”, who lived at Saumane castle, situated to the south beyond a fold in the Vaucluse mountains. A vast 17th and 18th century farm made up of terraces irrigated by springs, with a large farmhouse built against the rock to the north, overlooking the valley below. The building pays particular attention to detail on the courtyard elevations, particularly the main facade, which is rendered in ochre lime and features low-arched windows. The main entrance door is flush with the axis of an old dovecote that towers above the canal tile roofs. The secondary part of the building is no less elegant, with two wide, high, twin arches opening onto the courtyard, while the first floor features a contemporary embellishment of the former hayloft. The buildings are in perfect harmony with the terraced topography, consisting of large landscaped terraces to the south and west. To the east, a boulingrin (lawn bowling green) laid out on the largest median strip at the bottom of the valley offers a remarkable view, enhanced by the alignment of 27 monoliths supporting a trellis on the upper terrace. The buildings and particularly meticulous landscaping (including the ruins of an orangery) accentuate the theatricality of the site, set in a fold of the Vaucluse foothills and the wooded slopes of the valley, reminiscent of Petrarch’s favourite refuge in the Vallis Clausa.
