An extraordinary 19th century Provencal estate

This remarkable 19th-century Provencal estate comprises three separate buildings. The main house has been lovingly restored using traditional materials and enjoys stunning views over the gardens, which are complemented by a superb 16x7m swimming pool adjacent to a magnificent 60m2 pool house - perfect for entertaining. Nestled in the peaceful countryside, the estate has a small forest at the end of its extensive grounds of just over 6 hectares.

Adding to the charm of the setting is a second detached guest house, straight out of the pages of a fairy tale, with two bedrooms and separated by a huge ornamental water lily pond, as well as a two-bedroom caretaker's cottage, a carport and 3 garages. Possible gite business (subject to necessary permissions).

Meticulous attention to detail is evident in every aspect, from the thoughtful use of traditional interior design to the practicalities of estate management with back-up generators and home and garden automation subtly integrated throughout.
