Description
At the heart of an authentic Luberon village, this elegant 18th-century bastide captures, with remarkable accuracy, the very essence of the Provencal art of living. Bathed in natural light, its honey-colored stone walls, time-softened shutters, and breathtaking panoramic views over the Luberon massif and the medieval village of Oppede-le-Vieux create a truly rare atmosphere—one imbued with nobility, serenity, and history.
Offering approximately 250 m2 (2,690 sq ft) of living space across three levels, the residence harmoniously blends the timeless charm of period architecture with the comfort of an unspoiled natural setting. From the moment you enter, balanced proportions, gentle light, and carefully preserved original features lend the property an understated elegance.
The ground floor hosts generous reception areas, including a refined sitting room with fireplace—also ideal as a study—a welcoming dining room with its own fireplace, and a characterful kitchen. To the rear, a service hall leads to practical amenities—guest powder room, laundry room, and cellar—with direct access to one of the garages.
Extending from the main house, an independent guest annex built in the 1980s features a spacious bedroom with private terrace, shower room, separate WC, and ample storage—perfect for hosting family and guests in complete privacy.
The first floor offers two large bedrooms, each with its own shower room, while the top floor comprises a fourth bedroom and a charming attic space reminiscent of an artist’s studio, ready to be reimagined to suit your vision.
Set within 1.6 hectares (approximately 4 acres) of landscaped grounds, the property enjoys a peaceful, bucolic environment. Over one hundred olive trees, fruit trees, a majestic century-old oak, and an ornamental pond—once home to Koi carp—create a setting that is both quintessentially Provencal and vibrantly alive.
An expansive shaded terrace of around 80 m2 (860 sq ft), complemented by a summer kitchen and several relaxation areas, invites you to savor long summer evenings beneath the southern stars.
Additional outbuildings—including a workshop, storage rooms, garden shelter, and garage—total nearly 80 m2 (860 sq ft) and offer exceptional potential for further development, whether as guest suites, an artist’s studio, or a wellness space.
A private borehole, automatic irrigation system, and productive olive grove complete the amenities, ensuring both autonomy and everyday comfort.
This character property, ready to be enhanced with thoughtful refinement, will appeal to lovers of heritage and authenticity seeking a primary residence, a family home, or a prestigious project in the heart of the Luberon.
Just minutes from renowned villages such as Menerbes, Gordes, Bonnieux, and Fontaine-de-Vaucluse, and less than an hour from Avignon TGV station and Marseille-Provence International Airport, the property enjoys an ideal location combining accessibility with an exceptional lifestyle.
A rare and soulful residence, embodying the spirit of Provence and promising timeless elegance alongside an incomparable quality of life.
