Interior
The interior of the house is both impressive and warm, defined by generous volumes and exceptional artisanal craftsmanship. The property offers four spacious bedrooms, each fully equipped with its own private bathroom, ensuring comfort, privacy, and independence for family members and guests.

The heart of the home is a vast and elegant living room, bathed in natural light and enhanced by a large traditional fireplace, creating a welcoming and refined atmosphere throughout the year. Adjacent to the living area is an impressive, old-style library, designed in the spirit of classic Provençal and traditional estates, offering a unique space for reading, relaxation, or a private study.

Wood is a defining element throughout the property and gives it a unique soul. Solid wooden doors, large French doors, custom-built furniture, and magnificent exposed wooden beams and ceiling structures, including substantial original timbers supporting the house, showcase the authenticity and architectural strength of the property.

All interior woodwork — doors, ceilings, beams, windows, and bespoke furniture — was handcrafted by the owner’s grandfather, a master cabinetmaker, giving the house an exceptional character and timeless authenticity that cannot be reproduced.

Exterior
The property is set on approximately 3,000 sqm of land, offering generous outdoor space and multiple possibilities for further development, such as the creation of a guest cabanon, pool house, or additional leisure areas (subject to local regulations).

The landscaped garden is richly planted with local Provençal species, featuring mature trees, flowering plants, and Mediterranean vegetation that create both privacy and a colorful, natural setting throughout the year.

A key highlight of the exterior is the impressive swimming pool, measuring over 12 meters in length and 6 meters in width, with a total capacity of approximately 100 cubic meters. The pool is complemented by a spacious patio and outdoor entertaining area, ideal for hosting guests, summer gatherings, barbecues, and celebrations.

The outdoor spaces are perfectly designed for convivial moments, whether for family events, birthdays, or relaxed summer evenings, all set in a refined Provençal “guinguette” atmosphere, combining elegance, authenticity, and Mediterranean lifestyle.
