On the outskirts of Aix-en-Provence, in the sought-after neighbourhood of Bibémus, this 19th-century bastide is set within 1.3 hectares of mature grounds. A peaceful retreat surrounded by woodland and landscaped gardens, with open views across the valley towards the Sainte-Victoire mountain.
Controlled access to the property preserves the tranquillity of the setting. On arrival, a Japanese garden, cypress-lined paths, ornamental ponds and a series of terraces create a distinctive atmosphere.
The main bastide offers approximately 302 sqm and retains the generous proportions characteristic of 19th-century residences. Ceiling heights of 3.5 metres enhance the reception rooms, which include a spacious living room with fireplace, a dining room and a recently renovated kitchen. The living spaces extend naturally outdoors, while the veranda overlooking the valley provides another perspective on the surrounding landscape.
The house includes several bedrooms with terraces, including a principal suite with its own private sitting room and dressing room. A study and additional spaces allow the property to adapt to different uses.
Set apart from the bastide, the approximately 100 sqm guest house comprises two independent apartments of 47 sqm and 53 sqm. This arrangement provides comfortable accommodation for family and guests while preserving the privacy of the main residence.
Outside, the grounds reveal a succession of distinct spaces. The Japanese garden, terraces, woodland and views towards Sainte-Victoire create different places from which to enjoy the quiet surroundings and changing landscape.
A heated 9 × 5 metre swimming pool, with a barbecue area and shower room, completes the outdoor spaces. The property also provides parking for several vehicles.
Just 10 minutes from the centre of Aix-en-Provence, this bastide brings together period architecture, varied gardens and the serenity of a preserved setting in one of the city’s most sought-after residential areas.

Aix-en-Provence occupies a singular position in the French cultural landscape, a city shaped by centuries of intellectual and artistic life, from its founding as a Roman settlement to its role as the historic capital of Provence. The cours Mirabeau, lined with plane trees and 17th and 18th century hôtels particuliers, defines the city’s civic identity. Paul Cézanne was born and worked here, and Mont Sainte-Victoire, the mountain he painted obsessively, frames the eastern horizon as a constant presence.
Daily life in Aix centres on the Marché de la Place Richelme and the larger Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday market on the Place des Prêcheurs. The city has a strong restaurant scene, with addresses such as Pierre Reboul and Le Formal representing the upper end. The Pavillon de Vendôme and the Musée Granet anchor the cultural calendar alongside the Festival International d’Art Lyrique each July.
Aix-en-Provence is served by the TGV station at Aix-en-Provence TGV, located approximately 15 kilometres from the city centre, with direct high-speed rail connections to Paris Gare de Lyon in approximately three hours and to Marseille Saint-Charles in under 15 minutes. Marseille Provence Airport is roughly 25 kilometres away, offering direct flights to major European cities and beyond. The A8 motorway provides straightforward road access to Marseille, Nice, and the broader Côte d’Azur corridor.
