A Secluded 18th Century Provencal Retreat In Woodland Setting.

Hidden deep within approximately 37 acres of unspoilt Provencal countryside, this remarkable 18th-century property offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of authentic rural Provence. Originally a “bergerie” where shepherds and their flocks once lived side by side, the property retains an extraordinary sense of history and character. Approached through spectacular natural surroundings, and with no neighbours in sight, it enjoys complete privacy, absolute tranquillity and breathtaking panoramic views from the rock above the house, all within a setting that feels wonderfully removed from the pace of modern life. The traditional stone facade, original cobblestones, wooden shutters and charming covered terrace embody the timeless spirit of Provence.

The accommodation comprises, on the ground floor: sitting room with handsome stone fireplace; kitchen/dining room; WC; bathroom. A garage, with laundry and storage facilities, is accessible from the dining room.

The first floor offers to the west: four well-proportioned bedrooms. To the east: additional room, transformable into a second bathroom, which could be opened up to connect the two wings.

The property is a veritable getaway in a woodland setting, where outdoor dining areas invite long summer lunches in the shade. The property’s exceptional privacy makes it an ideal place to disconnect and unwind. A particularly unusual feature of the property is the indoor swimming pool (approximately 11m x 6m), built against the natural rock face and enclosed within a stone and glass structure. Filled with natural light and immersed in the surrounding landscape, It provides a unique space that extends the enjoyment of the pool far beyond the height of summer.

Amenities include: air-conditioning on the first floor; fireplace; wooden door and window frames; mains water; garage; ample parking; outdoor grill.

Rich in authentic details, including exposed stone walls, traditional stone flooring, Provencal ceilings, exposed beams and a staircase crafted from pine harvested on the property itself, this is a home that captures the timeless spirit of Provence. While some updating and improvement works would allow the next owner to further enhance its comfort and realise its full potential, the property’s character, extraordinary setting and inherent charm are already firmly in place. Evocative of the landscapes celebrated by Marcel Pagnol in La Gloire de mon Pere, it offers the increasingly rare luxury of peace, seclusion and immersion in nature. Whether as a family retreat, a creative hideaway or simply a place to escape and recharge, this is a truly special property in an unforgettable setting.
