Elegant Provençal Bastide With Swimming Pool, On The Foundations Of A Former 16th Century Water Mill

Former 16th-century water mill renovated to create a superb residence of the ”Provençal Bastide” type just minutes from Gordes, Goult, Bonnieux, and Ménerbes, in an exceptional green setting in the Luberon valley. A large wrought iron gate opens onto a small driveway leading to the shaded parking area in front of a garage, a garden workshop, and a well whose authenticity bears witness to a rich agricultural past. The elegant and imposing building housing the residence is located to the west. With a total usable area of approximately 400 m², it stands out from the usual mas and farms in the Luberon region due to the depth of the building. Entering from the south facade, one finds a large hall that leads to a spacious living room on the right, an office with a fireplace, and a kitchen with its pantry on the left. The rooms are bright thanks to numerous openings. At the end of the hall, a beautiful staircase leads to the landing of the first floor, which distributes a very large master bedroom with its full bathroom, a fully fitted dressing room, bedrooms II and III, a shower room, and a separate toilet. In line with the living room, there is a TV lounge, a small storage room, a visitor’s toilet with a washbasin, the boiler room, Madame’s workshop, and the laundry/lingerie. A second central staircase allows access to the upper floors of the eastern part of the buildings. On the first floor, a corridor leads to guest bedroom IV, a bathroom with a toilet, and bedroom V, which connects to a cozy playroom for young children due to its low ceiling height. On the other side of the corridor is a beautiful room as well as Monsieur’s workshop opening to the north. Continuing up the stairs from this room, one accesses the second floor, which is a large space currently used as a playroom and home cinema, with sloping ceilings and exposed beams. On the side, a small terrace serves as a lookout tower to the north. Finally, on the eastern side of the south facade, there is a very beautiful wine cellar as well as a small greenhouse for the owner’s citrus fruits. At the back, a small almost closed courtyard opens onto the pool area of 10 x 5 m with paved beaches and its large semi-buried technical room including a changing room and a shower. The land of more than 6000 m² on a slight slope is located in a protected agricultural zone. It is surrounded by vineyards and planted with exceptional plane trees and centuries-old linden trees, acacias, poplars, oaks, and landscaped to the south with a fountain, boxwood, laurels, gazebos, roses, bignonia, and virgin vine, all bordered by a small stream that once fed the mill. This is a rare property in this corner of the Luberon, charming, noble, and ideal for lovers of authentic Provence. The views of the countryside and the village of Gordes are a plus!
