A Timeless Provençal Estate, on 8 hectares in the Heart of the Vaucluse Mountains

In the heart of the Vaucluse mountains, in a preserved natural environment, this remarkable former farmstead from the 17th and 18th centuries is said to have once belonged to Abbé Jacques de Sade, uncle of the famous Marquis de Sade. Nestled on a rocky slope overlooking a lush valley, the property extends over approximately 8 hectares of landscaped land, terraces and woods, offering a setting of rare beauty, steeped in history and serenity. The architecture of the farmhouse reflects its rich Provençal past: ochre lime-coated facades, arched openings, canal tile roofs, an old dovecote and elegant vaulted galleries. Restored and restructured at the end of the 20th century, the ensemble has retained many original elements, including its old terracotta floors, fireplaces, plasterwork and semi-troglodytic spaces. The main house offers generous reception areas, including several living rooms, a library, a dining room and a kitchen with pantry. The upper floors house various bedrooms and bathrooms, including a remarkable suite decorated with 18th-century ornaments. The former agricultural wing, once used for crop storage, has been transformed into living and reception spaces, featuring a large summer lounge under arcades, a living room and three additional bedrooms. An independent accommodation for caretakers, comprising a living room with open kitchen and two bedrooms, completes the residential areas. Outside, the estate reveals remarkable landscaping organized on six levels of terraces, adorned with olive trees, cypresses, oleanders, trellises and restored stone walls. Remains of a former orangery, a greenhouse, troglodytic constructions and majestic centenarian oaks enhance the unique character of the place. A 15 × 6 meter swimming pool, harmoniously integrated into the landscape, invites relaxation. An old irrigation reservoir, captured springs and an automated watering system testify to the estate’s agricultural past and the richness of its natural resources.
Rare for its history, architecture and the beauty of its environment, this character property offers an authentic Provençal way of life, in an atmosphere of absolute privacy, where heritage and nature meet with elegance. Parce que chaque client mérite un royaume
