Just a short stroll from a lively Provençal village, this elegant 18th-century bastide offers a rare blend of heritage, light, and architectural potential. Rich in character yet open to reinvention, it is more than a home — it is a canvas for your way of life.
A central hallway sets the tone upon entry, creating a natural flow through the house and drawing the eye toward the landscaped grounds beyond. Traditional terracotta floor tiles, soaring ceilings, and a graceful central staircase (modern in structure, classical in feel) set the scene for a timeless yet evolving space.
A Refined, Flexible Interior Over Three Levels The ground floor balances volume and warmth with luminous living spaces. A spacious entrance leads to a characterful living room with high ceilings, an elegant dining area, and a separate, fully equipped kitchen that opens onto the terrace. An original wine cellar evokes the region’s viticultural richness, while a utility room and guest WC add practical touches.
Upstairs, the first floor hosts two en suite master bedrooms and a type 3 independent apartment (2 bedrooms, living room, kitchen) with private rear access — easily reconnected to the main house if desired.
The second floor continues this spirit of adaptability, with three further bedrooms (two with en suite bathrooms), two offices (convertible into bedrooms), a gym, a family bathroom with double vanity, and separate toilets.
Depending on configuration, the property offers between 8 and 10 bedrooms, perfectly suited to families, guests, or creative professionals.
An Outdoor Setting Steeped in Light and Serenity The landscaped garden of approx. 5,000 m² is fully enclosed and planted with mature Mediterranean trees, including three majestic plane trees that shade the house with grandeur.
You’ll find a saltwater pool with clean, modern lines, a 15 m² guest studio, and a charming 33 m² stone barn ready to be reimagined — perhaps as a workshop, guest house, or event space. A pétanque court and ample parking complete the setting.
