Provence-Alps-Cote d`Azur, Vaucluse, L'isle-sur-la-Sorgue, France

This exceptional riverside property enjoys a truly rare privilege: a private island on the crystal-clear Sorgue, complete with a natural inlet ideal for a small boat, canoe or paddleboard. Immersed in lush greenery and bordered by one of France’s most magical natural springs, this is a sanctuary of tranquillity and nature — yet less than 2 km from the heart of L’Isle-sur-la-Sorgue, just a short stroll or cycle from its vibrant cafés, Michelin-starred restaurants and world-famous antique markets.

Fed by the largest natural spring in France (and the fifth largest in the world), the Sorgue’s waters are naturally filtered through rock and emerge just 7 km upstream — always clear, clean and rich in wildlife. The river is known for its stable temperature of 13°C year-round, meaning it never freezes; in winter, steam rises from the surface, and even in the cooler months, swimming remains possible.

The house offers generous living spaces with abundant natural light thanks to dual-aspect windows. The ground floor includes a spacious living area with fireplace and dining space; an open, fully-equipped kitchen with Zimbabwe granite countertops; a recently built conservatory; an additional sitting room with elegant French wrought-iron doors; a utility room; two bedrooms; a bathroom; a shower room and WC.

Upstairs, there are three further bedrooms, a bathroom, and a useful utility or dressing area.

The grounds are beautifully divided between the private riverside garden and the main front garden. A wooden bridge leads to the property’s very own island — a serene place to read, swim, kayak or simply watch the light dance on the water, with views toward the fields and Mont Ventoux. A charming garden studio offers private guest accommodation, an office or an artist’s retreat.

To the front of the house, safely separated and enclosed away from the river, is the pool area and children’s play space. The pool terrace enjoys sun throughout the day and is complemented by a large veranda, pool house and outdoor shower. Beyond, olive trees punctuate the garden, and a private driveway lined with vines provides ample parking.

Additional features include: underfloor heating; air conditioning; electric shutters throughout; alarm system; electric gates with intercom; private water source; heated submerged pool cover; mains water and mains drainage.

A truly rare opportunity to own a riverside haven with its own private island — combining wild Provençal beauty, complete privacy and direct river access with the ease and pleasure of being moments from L’Isle-sur-la-Sorgue’s bustling centre.
