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

This remarkable 19th-century "maison de maître" in the heart of the Luberon exudes historic charm and distinctive character, standing as a true landmark in Apt, famed for its vibrant Provençal Saturday market. Crowned by its emblematic statue of the Virgin Mary overlooking the town, the property enjoys splendid, unobstructed views from the upper floors across the cathedral dome towards Saignon. Offering approximately 480 m2 of living space, the house is currently arranged with private accommodation on the ground and garden levels and four apartment suites above, yet its cohesive layout allows for easy adaptation into a substantial and timeless family home. High ceilings, delicate mouldings and balanced proportions lend a refined elegance, while the south-facing aspect fills the interiors with natural light, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.



The ground floor (currently serving as private accommodation for the owners) comprises: lovely light-filled sitting room with fireplace; fully-equipped kitchen with built-in cupboards; dining room with oversized bespoke wrought-iron framed French windows affording fabulous views over the rooftops towards the Luberon; “petit salon” or office with spiral staircase leading to the garden level; spacious principal bedroom suite whose wood panelled bathroom is equipped with a shower, claw-foot tub, two sinks and a WC. Each room on this floor showcases attractive original features such as crown moulding, hardwood or parquet flooring, Provençal floor tiles and gorgeous wooden doors. French windows lining the south-facing façade open onto to the balcony, where steps lead down from the private terrace outside of the bedroom suite to the garden level.



The garden level consists of: two double bedroom suites; child’s bedroom with French windows; large laundry room. A magnificent period glass conservatory, recently restored, adds striking light-filled character to the property.



The first and second floors accommodate: four independent suites, each conceived as a self-contained apartment. Every suite comprises a sitting room, bedroom, kitchen and bathroom, offering complete autonomy - ideal for hosting family and guests in total comfort or for a high-end rental activity. An additional large office on the first floor, opening onto a balcony, provides a peaceful setting for work, creativity or quiet reflection.



Outside, the 0.18 acres of grounds reveal a charming, intimate garden designed for relaxed Provençal living. A beautiful Roman-style pool sits at its centre, offering a serene retreat during the warmer months.



Amenities include: reversible air conditioning throughout; fireplace; mostly double-glazed windows; mains water and drains; automatic watering system; garden lighting; fibre-optic internet; digicode entry for apartments; video surveillance; fully-enclosed garden; swimming pool (12m x 5m) with decorative fountain; nearby two-car garage and 5 rented parking spaces in secured car park adjacent to property.



Set in an exceptional central location, within immediate reach of shops, bars, restaurants and amenities, this unique property combines the vibrancy of Provençal life with the privilege of owning a historic home of rare character. Apt is well connected, with regular transport links to Avignon and Aix-en-Provence, and convenient access to both Avignon TGV station (around one hour) and Marseille airport (approximately 75 minutes). With its generous volumes, independent guest accommodation and strong rental potential, it represents both a prestigious residence and a compelling investment opportunity.
