Ancienne Maison De Gardes Réinventée, écrin Contemporain Au Pied Des Alpilles

Before the first glance at the house, it is the landscape that sets the pace. In the heart of the highly sought-after commune of Mouriès, on the old Anelier drover’s path, this former guardhouse is reborn in a constant dialogue with the Alpilles. Set in the middle of 7,000 m² of preserved nature, it seems to have always belonged to this mineral scenery where rock, oaks, and olive trees create a living tableau.

Completely reinvented, the building has abandoned its original style to embrace a decidedly contemporary interior architecture. From the entrance, the volumes breathe, light flows freely, and the spaces connect naturally. The lines are clean, the materials modern, and the views open. Outside, the Provençal soul remains intact; inside, comfort is expressed without compromise. This perfectly controlled contrast gives the place its full personality.

The garden extends this feeling of immersion. Structured by a spectacular natural rock formation clad in Gordes stone with blonde and ash tones, it elegantly follows the terrain. The typically Mediterranean vegetation—wild thyme, scrubland, olive trees, and oaks—accompanies the seasons with a palette of scents and colors unique to the Alpilles.

Then come the details that make this property truly unique. Two ancient safre caves, discreetly hidden in the rock, bear witness to the site’s history and give the estate an almost confidential dimension. A huge centennial oak watches over the pool area like a naturally shaded summer lounge where time seems suspended.

Facing the massif, the property captures the incomparable light that has fascinated so many artists. From sunrise to sunset, the landscape changes texture, revealing a succession of atmospheres where the mineral interacts with the vegetation.

Just one kilometer from the heart of Mouriès, this address combines the privilege of a wild environment with the immediate proximity of the village. A rare property where heritage, nature, and contemporary architecture compose a new interpretation of the Provençal art of living.
