Designed as a true family home, it combines the soul of traditional Provençal architecture with the discreet comfort of a thoughtful renovation. Original terracotta floors, exposed beams, and abundant natural light create a warm and inviting atmosphere where time seems to slow down.

The ground floor opens onto a spacious living area where the kitchen flows naturally into the reception space, all oriented towards the terraces and gardens beyond. Large openings blur the boundary between indoors and outdoors, inviting the surrounding landscape into everyday life. A semi-subterranean vaulted wine cellar, accessed from the utility room, adds a unique touch of authenticity and character.

A half level above, an elegant library lounge with its original fireplace provides a peaceful retreat for quiet evenings and intimate gatherings. The upper floors offer several generous bedrooms, an inspiring office, and a large versatile room that could serve as a games room, artist’s studio, gym, or relaxation space, complemented by shower rooms and a family bathroom.

In a separate wing of the property, two elegant guest suites with private shower rooms, together with an independent studio apartment, provide ideal accommodation for family and friends while preserving complete privacy.

Outside, the Mediterranean garden unfolds like a living painting that changes with the seasons. Silver-leaved olive trees, a generous fig tree, majestic oak, and graceful cypress trees create a quintessential Provençal setting. Stone terraces shape the landscape, while the traditional pigeonnier and ancient well stand as reminders of the property's rich heritage.

At the heart of this peaceful oasis lies a recently renovated 11 x 5 metre swimming pool, perfectly integrated into its natural surroundings. Surrounded by sun-drenched terraces and shaded corners, it offers a true sanctuary for long summer days.
