Description
Stone house for sale in Gordes by our real estate agency of Bonnieux.
This bioclimatically designed house stands in almost 4000 sqm of land in quiet, peaceful surroundings in
Gordes municipality.
The property comprises a main house with 200 sqm of liveable floorspace set on two levels with, on the
ground floor, an entrance hall opening into a large living room, a superbly equipped solid oak Mouvement
kitchen, a utility room, a delightful winter lounge with a Trombe wall to store the sun’s heat and return it to the
inside of the house, and a shower room.
Also worthy of note are the decks and balconies on the east and south sides of the house.
On this same level there is a 50-plus sqm apartment to accommodate family or friends in complete privacy
and total comfort. This contains a lounge/dining room with fitted kitchenette, a bedroom, a shower room
with toilet and as well as a private terrace with a view.
Upstairs, a vestibule leads to a study - library with an unobstructed view of the countryside, two bedrooms with walk-in
wardrobes, and a big shower room with two washbasins.
The house comes complete with several outbuildings: an equipment room, a basement with workshop and
wine cellar, and a carport for two or even three vehicles. Please note that a 1.25 metre high crawlspace runs
under the whole house.
Outside, there is a 45 sqm covered terrace (sheltered from the mistral), a water garden with in-ground natural swimming pool, biofilter and waterfall, and an atrium to the west of the house.
Please note the wide roof overhangs and automatically closing louvred wooden shutters, which block the sun
in summer and prevent the interior of the house from getting too hot.
Similarly, the triple glazing and absence of north-facing windows help keep heat in or out, depending on the
time of year.
The house is heated by solar panels (which also produce domestic hot water), supplemented by a pellet stove in the living room, or by electricity. A further advantage of the property is the double-flow mechanically controlled ventilation unit with earth-air heat exchanger, enabling the air in the house to be heated or cooled as required.
Ideal for eco-living aficionados: whether you’re looking for a family house or a second home, you’ll be won
over by the many exceptional features of this property!
Another undeniable plus is that the famous village of Gordes (recently voted the most beautiful village in the
world) can be reached in a few minutes, as can the other hilltop villages of the Luberon such as Goult,
Bonnieux, Lacoste or Saint-Pantaléon. The Luberon region teems with picturesque little streets with typical
restaurants and traditional markets to make your stays in Provence a delight.
