In a setting of preserved nature, bathed by the gentle light of the South and the singing of cicadas, this exceptional property unfolds, a witness to time and Provençal elegance. An ancient building from the 17th century, it extends with nobility over more than 440 m² of built area, set on a 2-hectare land, with the possibility of acquiring up to 30 adjoining hectares for a larger project. Carefully and passionately restored, the main house develops approximately 325 m² under Carrez Law, blending authenticity and contemporary comfort. A second independent dwelling of 86 m² under Carrez Law, formerly a caretaker’s residence now renovated, offers multiple possibilities: guest house, reception activity, or an intimate secondary residence. Built in a commanding position, the property offers a breathtaking view of the surrounding villages and mountainous terrain, in an atmosphere of absolute tranquility, conducive to contemplation and renewal.
Inside, the volumes are generous, subtle, and imbued with noble simplicity. A large entrance hall opens onto a reception room flooded with light, enhanced by a majestic stone fireplace. The vaulted dining room evokes the house’s old soul, while the kitchen opens to the outdoors. A laundry room, a wine cellar, and numerous storage spaces discreetly complete the ground floor. The sleeping area offers three bedrooms, each with its private bathroom, in a subdued, simple, and refined ambiance. On the garden level, a spa completes the sensory experience. A discreet canopy shelters your vehicles, while a beautiful pool, fed by a natural spring, opens onto terraces conducive to relaxation, in harmony with the seasons.
This rare property embodies a certain idea of Provence: elegant, peaceful, authentic. It is equally suitable as a main residence or as a charming retreat, both confidential and inspiring.
