The current real estate property has a fascinating history, initially being a Templar Commandery built in the 12th century. Some facades and roofs of this property are registered and protected by an order dated August 5, 1976. Located in a commanding position, it offers an exceptional view over the Luberon Valley.

This property, with a usable area of approximately 650 m², includes a main residence spread over three levels with a terrace and courtyard. It boasts magnificent reception areas, an equipped kitchen, six en-suite bedrooms, a former chapel, a wine cellar, a tower/pool house, and an infinity pool (15 x 5 meters) with stunning views over the valley. Each living space is harmoniously arranged, terrace upon terrace, bordered by plantings to maintain a natural aspect.

At the back, there is a separate caretaker’s apartment with two bedrooms, a garage, and a large storage room housing the technical equipment.

The nearly 5000 m² plot, located in the heart of the village, is slightly sloped. It is entirely enclosed by stone walls and terraced. The landscaping is meticulous, featuring numerous plant species, grassed slabs, and an elegant basin with a fountain.

Acquired in the 1950s by Parisians who restored it to make it their residence for about fifty years, the property was sold to the current owner in 2006. The latter undertook extensive renovations lasting four years. All the buildings have been completely renovated while preserving the original structure. The construction work was done using local stones, and most of the materials used are antique and of high quality (stone slabs, oak beams and frameworks). All carpentry is custom-made from solid wood and wrought iron, and all networks, home automation systems, elevator, sanitary installations, heating, and air conditioning are new. The Mouvement kitchen is beautifully integrated and functional, whether for private or professional use with a chef. The result is a unique property, offering an exceptional level of finish and comfort!

Joucas is a small, classified village in the Luberon, sitting on a rocky spur between Gordes and Roussillon in the Vaucluse. It belongs to the Parc Naturel Régional du Luberon and retains the character of an authentic Provençal perched village: dry-stone terraces, narrow lanes, and uninterrupted views across the valley toward the Luberon massif. Its scale and relative discretion have kept it from the tourist pressures that affect its more famous neighbours, making it a preferred address for those who know the region well.

Gordes, consistently ranked among France’s most beautiful villages, is roughly five kilometres away and offers weekly markets, galleries, and restaurants including Les Bories. Roussillon and its ochre cliffs are similarly close. Apt, the main market town of the Luberon, is approximately fifteen kilometres away and hosts one of the region’s best Saturday markets.

Avignon, with its TGV station connecting to Paris Gare de Lyon in approximately two hours and thirty-five minutes, is around fifty kilometres from Joucas. Marseille-Provence Airport is roughly ninety kilometres away, offering direct flights to major European cities. Aix-en-Provence TGV station, serving high-speed connections toward Paris and Lyon, is approximately eighty kilometres to the south via the A7 motorway.
