Built in 1767, this historic residence located in Saint-Etienne-du-Grès embodies the timeless charm of Provence. The land registry records mention a traditional mas, a substantial olive grove, and vineyards. It enjoys a prime location in the heart of the Alpilles. From the moment you enter, a succession of reception rooms with generous volumes and high ceilings invites both conviviality and elegance. The house offers eight bedrooms, each with its own bathroom or shower room, ensuring comfort and privacy. Numerous outbuildings complete the property, offering a range of possibilities for development or for hosting guests in optimal conditions. The estate extends over more than 7.6 hectares, combining a majestic yet easy-to-maintain park, a typical Alpilles hillside, an olive grove, pine forest, and garrigue. A plane tree-lined driveway lends a distinctive charm to this historic setting. Upon reaching the forecourt, adorned with a French-style garden of boxwood and white hydrangeas, one admires the grand façade in authentic Provençal style. Along a cypress-lined path, you will also discover a chapel, authorized in 1871 by the Bishopric for Abbé Grivet, a rare example of neo-Gothic heritage architecture. For leisure, a beautiful heated stone swimming pool, a pool house, and a pétanque court complete the Provençal lifestyle experience. A property that embodies a rare synthesis of authenticity and prestige in a protected environment, offering a seamless harmony between indoor and outdoor living spaces.

Saint-Étienne-du-Grès is a small Provençal commune set at the western edge of the Alpilles, the compact limestone range that defines one of the most sought-after rural landscapes in southern France. The village retains the unhurried character of agricultural Provence, surrounded by olive groves, garrigue, and dry-stone walls, with the Alpilles Regional Natural Park forming a protected backdrop that has kept the area free from the pressures of overdevelopment.
The market town of Saint-Rémy-de-Provence is roughly five kilometres away and provides the practical core of daily life: the Wednesday and Saturday markets on Place de la République, restaurants including La Maison Jaune, and a well-established network of galleries and antique dealers. Arles, with its Roman amphitheatre and the annual photography festival Les Rencontres d’Arles, is around fifteen kilometres to the south.
Avignon TGV station is approximately thirty kilometres north, connecting to Paris Gare de Lyon in around two hours and forty minutes by high-speed rail. Marseille Provence Airport is roughly sixty kilometres to the southeast, reachable in under an hour by car, with direct flights to major European cities. Nîmes Alès Camargue Cévennes Airport, a smaller alternative with low-cost European routes, is around forty kilometres to the west.
