An 18th Century Manor House With A Shaded Garden, Surrounded By Nature, On The Outskirts Of A

An 18th century manor house with a shaded garden, surrounded by nature, on the outskirts of a village perched on the eastern flanks of the Luberon Mountains. This country house solemnly and imposingly looms into view at the end of a winding earthen track through the fields from the main road between Apt and Forcalquier, tucked away at the bottom of the Luberon Mountains’ foothills. In bygone days, it was an integral part of a huge farming estate, spread around three buildings, including the main farmhouse, a short way away. The four-storey manor house faces due south. The property is surrounded by arable land that gently slopes down over three terraces to a river below. It was split from the rest of the estate during the second half of the 20th century, when the diocese of Marseille purchased it to set up a holiday centre for families. An outbuilding with a covered patio looking onto an olive grove that follows the same alignment as the main residence dates from this era in all likelihood.
