Provence-Alps-Cote d`Azur, Bouches-du-Rhône, Aix-en-Provence, France

Unique opportunity to acquire an exceptional Bastide and guest house, surrounded by 54 acres of glorious land with beautiful gardens and pool, while enjoying far reaching countryside days from its peaceful location in Aix en Provence.

Set amid the rolling countryside of Provence, this exquisite estate offers privacy, beauty and breathtaking views of Mont Sainte-Victoire. Approached via a glorious tree-lined drive, the Bastide sits above its own olive groves, immersed in a setting of remarkable tranquillity.

The main house features several generous reception rooms alongside a beautifully appointed country kitchen. Accommodation comprises six en suite bedrooms, including a light-filled, dual-aspect principal suite. Terraces at either end of the house provide idyllic spaces for outdoor dining and entertaining.

The estate also has a large swimming pool with an elegant pool house, a tennis court, a vegetable garden, as well as a separate home office or studio and a fully equipped gym.

Adjacent to the Bastide, a charming two bedroom guest house offers comfortable and private accommodation for visiting friends and family. A discreetly positioned guardian's house to the rear provides staff accommodation.

Designed by renowned architects Bruno and Dominique Lafourcade, the houses and gardens strike a perfect balance between classic Provencal character and contemporary luxury.

Despite its wonderfully peaceful rural setting, the estate is just 10 kilometres north of Aix-en-Provence, 35 kilometres from Marseille airport, and close to the celebrated Chateau La Coste.
