Description
In the heart of the Alpilles, set in the valley around Les Baux de Provence, this fabulous stone-built property of around 183 m² offers all the charm and authenticity that you would hope to find in the Alpilles. Classic postcard Provence: on one hand, a magnificent stone farmhouse that has been built according to traditional artisan building methods and on the other hand different vistas of the immediate natural environment and onto the limestone rocks of this mythical landscape, one of which is listed. Set in a park of a little more than 1.5 hectares the grounds are an inspired mix between an attractively and sympathetically landscaped garden that borders the house and the wilder vegetation of the Alpilles with its unforgettable bouquet of pine, rosemary and thyme. And amidst this there is a discreetly positioned swimming pool, 11 x 5m with an electrical security cover. The property is composed of two parts: the main house comprises, on the ground floor, an inviting hallway with guest WC, a spacious sitting / living room with “cathedral” ceiling and a kitchen that opens out onto a covered dining terrace with views over the gardens and landscape beyond. There is also an en-suite bedroom on this level. Up on the first floor there are 2 charming bedrooms, both enjoying their own covered terrace benefitting from stunning views of the Alpilles and which share the family bathroom. The second part is an independent apartment that offers a living room (kitchen, sitting, dining) a bedroom and bathroom. Between the main house and the apartment is a garage with tiled floor of 24 m². Under the property is a vast basement of more than 70 m² which offers a tremendous amount of storage space. The large convivial terrace, with one part that is covered for summer dining and where there is also a bbq, enjoys views over the surrounding landscape, whilst a pétanque pitch, various parking spaces and an electrical car-charging point complete this superb home. The enchanted setting and the character of the farmhouse make this a truly exceptional property.
