Chemin de Rapine – An exceptional property with unique charm On one of the most sought-after paths in Aix-en-Provence, sheltered from view, within a small private and secure estate of only six properties, reveals an absolutely unique architect-designed house. Here, wood, glass, and light compose a contemporary architecture of character, where each perspective seems to have been designed to engage with nature. Completely oriented towards the outside thanks to its large glass surfaces, the house offers a rare living experience, in perfect harmony with its environment. Developing approximately 240 m², this wooden frame construction based on the post-and-beam principle was built in 2012 following an anti-seismic process. Its generous volumes, assertive architecture, and unique atmosphere give it an incomparable personality. A place where time seems suspended. In this privileged setting, the calm is absolute. No noise disturbs the serenity of the place, only nature and the light that evolves throughout the hours. At the end of the day, the spectacle becomes exceptional: the sunsets set the horizon ablaze and offer a different tableau each evening, enhanced by the transparencies of the house. Built on a plot of approximately 2,500 m², the property invites you to fully enjoy the sweetness of Provençal living. The saltwater pool, made of concrete, measuring 5 x 11 meters, integrates harmoniously into this environment and is extended by a pool house with a jacuzzi, shower, and lounge area, ideal for long summer days and evenings with friends. The house offers four bedrooms and benefits from a complete basement, providing multiple possibilities for layout and storage. Contemporary comfort is ensured by a heating-cooling floor and ducted air conditioning. All installations are controlled via a home automation system and can also be operated from a smartphone. More than just a house, a true living experience. A resolutely contemporary wooden architecture, omnipresent light, preserved nature, and rare silence: a character property intended for lovers of unique places, in search of intimacy and emotions, in one of the most sought-after areas of Aix-en-Provence.
