REF: [hidden information]. Architect-Designed Provençal Estate Between Pinchinats and Venelles, Fifteen Minutes from Aix-en-Provence Positioned on elevated ground between the highly regarded Pinchinats district and Venelles, this exceptional private estate was conceived by a renowned French architect as a considered dialogue between Provençal tradition and contemporary precision. The result is over 1,000 square metres of living space across two buildings, entirely private and fifteen minutes from the centre of Aix-en-Provence. The grounds frame the estate on every side. An olive grove, organic Sauvignon Blanc vines harvested and processed locally, cypress lines, mature plane trees and open countryside beyond. From above, the scale and coherence of the landscape is immediate. On the ground, it is simply beautiful. The main house extends across three levels. The ground floor opens to generous reception and dining spaces, an open fireplace, and a kitchen that connects directly to the terrace and garden. The upper level holds three substantial bedroom suites, each with dressing room and ensuite, two of which open onto a shared terrace of over 100 square metres. The lower level houses an eight-car garage, wine cellar and utility rooms. Running the full length of the western lawn, the heated lap pool of 21 metres sits within a walled garden enclosure shaded by established plane trees. It is the defining outdoor space of the estate. The guest house provides self-contained accommodation with its own entrance, entertaining space opening to the garden, gym and hammam. A keeper’s cottage, set within its own cobbled courtyard beneath a mature wisteria pergola, completes the picture. Marseille Provence Airport is thirty minutes. The TGV is twenty. Aix-en-Provence is fifteen. Information on the risks to which this property is exposed is available on the Géorisques website: https://www.georisques.gouv.fr/
Venelles is a small commune in the Bouches-du-Rhône department, positioned on the northern edge of the Aix-en-Provence agglomeration at the foot of the Montagne Sainte-Victoire. The village retains a distinctly rural Provençal character, with stone mas farmhouses, vineyards, and olive groves defining the landscape. It sits within one of the most sought-after residential corridors in southern France, where proximity to Aix-en-Provence combines with open countryside and a pace of life that the city itself can no longer offer.
Daily life in Venelles revolves around Aix-en-Provence, roughly 10 kilometres to the south. The Marché du Cours Mirabeau and the covered Marché Central supply excellent produce. The Cours Mirabeau itself offers cafés, brasseries, and boutiques. The Arc shopping centre near Aix provides larger retail. The village of Venelles has its own small shops, a pharmacy, and a weekly market.
The Aix-en-Provence TGV station at Vitrolles connects to Paris Gare de Lyon in approximately three hours and is around 20 minutes by car from Venelles. Marseille Provence Airport at Marignane is roughly 30 minutes by road, with direct services to major European hubs. Aix-en-Provence city centre is a 15-minute drive, providing access to the full range of urban services, schools including the international Lycée Cézanne, and cultural institutions.
