Domaine Historique De 26 Hectares Dans Le Verdon

Northeast of Aix-en-Provence, in the heart of the Verdon Regional Natural Park, this character property offers 329.14 m² of living space within a 26.114-hectare estate, set in a particularly preserved natural environment with no immediate neighbors.

The main house includes 8 bedrooms, plus 153.53 m² of reception areas, numerous outbuildings, a 13.50 × 5.50 m swimming pool, a tennis court, a vineyard of over 6 hectares, and extensive agricultural land. The total area amounts to approximately 654.76 m² of main and annex spaces excluding the attic, complemented by nearly 128 m² of attic space.

The property is part of an old architectural ensemble, with the oldest parts dating back to the 12th century, and significant modifications made in the 18th century. Restored and adapted over time, it retains a particularly authentic architecture: thick stone and rubble walls, vaulted rooms, old terracotta tiles, stone-paved paths, a stone porch, a bread oven, ancient roof structures, and a large inner courtyard. The date 1767 is still engraved on the keystone of the main door.

The main residence is arranged over two levels. The ground floor houses several living and reception areas, a kitchen, various lounges including one of about 25 m² and another around 37 m², as well as a unique space reminiscent of the estate’s former chapel. The upper floor contains most of the sleeping area with 8 bedrooms, an office or boudoir, several shower rooms, a bathroom, and various hallways. The accommodation capacity is approximately 18 beds.

Beyond the residence, the estate offers three reception areas totaling about 153.53 m²:
- A vaulted room with stone paving of about 29.53 m²
- A large 70 m² room with views of the surroundings
- A 54 m² room facing the pool

These spaces, directly connected to the courtyard and outdoor areas, offer many usage possibilities. Additionally, about 127.90 m² of attic space presents potential for further development, subject to necessary authorizations and technical checks.

The inner courtyard, structured around the various buildings and enclosed by a stone porch, forms the heart of the property. It is enhanced with Mediterranean plants and an automatic irrigation system. Nearby is a 13.50 × 5.50 m pool, approximately 74 m² of water surface, made of reinforced concrete with PVC lining, treated with liquid chlorine, automatic pH regulation, and an electric cover. An open pool house of about 45 m² completes this area. The estate also benefits from a lit tennis court, a pétanque court, and two wooden cabins on stilts.

The outbuildings increase the property’s versatility, including a garage of about 90 m² that can accommodate five vehicles, a workshop, several storage areas, and the old bread oven. The total built and annexed area reaches approximately 782.66 m² including the attic, of which 329.14 m² corresponds to the main living area.

The land is a key component of the estate, covering 26 ha 11 a 40 ca (261,140 m²). It notably includes a main vineyard of 6 ha 27 a 77 ca, mainly planted with Pinot Noir, representing about 11,250 vines. The grapes from this vineyard are sold to Maison Latour in La Verdière. Other plantings of Vermentino, Grenache Noir, and Cinsault are located around the tennis court. The estate also has about thirty olive trees and an old truffle orchard that has been revived and supplemented with truffle oaks.

Technically, the property is supplied with town water and has individual sanitation. Heating is mainly electric, supplemented by a wood stove. Most windows are wooden with single glazing. The property also benefits from fiber optic internet, an alarm system, and video surveillance connected to a monitoring center.

The environment offers a highly sought-after level of privacy for a property of this size. The village of Saint-Julien-le-Montagnier is about 2 km away, Vinon-sur-Verdon about 12 km, Manosque about 25 minutes, and the Aix-en-Provence TGV station about 50 minutes. Lake Esparron is reachable in about fifteen minutes. This location combines extensive land, a preserved natural environment, and reasonable access to the main hubs in the area.

With its land, historic architecture, reception spaces, vineyard, and numerous outbuildings, this property is suitable both as a large private residence and for consideration as a tourism or event project. Any commercial use of this nature will, however, remain subject to the necessary administrative, urban planning, and regulatory approvals.
