Provence-Alps-Cote d`Azur, Vaucluse, Saignon, France

On the edge of Apt and Saignon, this former manor house, dating from 1790, has been completely restored and offers a remarkable place to live. It's easy to imagine that all the reception rooms make this a magical place for entertaining family and friends, with over four hundred square meters of living space.

Upon entry, you are greeted by vast entrance hall leading through to three reception rooms and a beautiful, fully-equipped contemporary kitchen. The high ceilings, natural light, and superb volumes give this manor house a terrific sense of authenticity, enhanced by terracotta or cement tile floors, decorative fireplaces, and grand Provencal-style staircases.

Two staircases lead to the first and second floors; a beautiful central staircase and a rear staircase. The first floor is composed of four bedrooms, each with an en-suite bathroom or shower room.

The second floor accommodates four bedrooms and three shower rooms.

The lower, garden-level, is composed of: garage; wine cellar; laundry room; boiler room with oil-fired central heating; bike room.

The 17 acres of landscaped grounds offer vast terraces, gorgeous water features fed by a natural spring, and an impressive 20m x 7m swimming pool (with a submerged cover and adjoining pool house). The whole property is beautifully wooded and boasts a particularly spectacular driveway lined with cypress trees.

The property is located just a few minutes from the bustling market town of Apt, with its shops and famous Provencal market, yet enjoys lovely views over the surrounding hills and gardens and retains all the charm of its privacy.
