The house was built many years ago on the ruins of an ancient hamlet. It is built entirely of stone in the traditional Provencal style but enjoys the benefits of huge terraced areas as well as a large pool which is ideal for children with approx. 1m depth in the shallow end. There is a shady pool house with summer kitchen and shower room. The house stands alone and backs onto acres of private woodland, one can literally step off the terrace, then walk or cycle up into the hills for miles. Stunning views stretching to Mont St. Victoire and beyond for 50 kms. The major advantage of its position is that even in high summer it benefits from light breezes but never suffers fully from the infamous "Mistral" winds.
There are two levels of lawned gardens, the lower level is flanked by the pool at one end and a traditional “terrain de boules” at the other. The upper level extends to the shady wooded area, with a hammock suspended between the trees.
The House
Vast beamed sitting room with large open fireplace and huge sofas, spacious dining room leading into the fully equipped kitchen with large stove, dishwasher, and just about everything you will possibly need. There is also a large gas BBQ on the terrace. Virtually all the rooms benefit from large French windows which lead directly onto different levels of terracing. In addition Cloakroom/WC and Utility room with washing machine and tumble dryer. Should you or the children require entertainment, there is satellite TV with numerous English channels, a large collection of children's videos/dvds, books, games, music system, etc. This home has been simply but elegantly furnished and is full of Provencal charm, blending antiques with all modern comforts and requirements |
