Description

Located forty-five minutes from Aix-en-Provence, ten minutes from Forcalquier, and five minutes from local shops and amenities, this character-filled 518 m² *bastide* sits on a wooded 3-hectare estate bordering a river. It offers an exceptional, peaceful setting immersed in nature, with complete privacy. The property immediately reveals its generous scale and versatile potential, whether as an exceptional family home, a venue for seminars, or a space for cultural activities. Fully renovated using bio-sourced materials, it blends authenticity, modern comfort, and environmental consciousness.

The layout is as follows:

On the ground floor, a spacious entrance hall leads to a living room featuring a stone fireplace and a vast main living area equipped with a fireplace insert and an impressive library. The kitchen opens fully onto a wooden terrace via a large picture window, inviting seamless indoor-outdoor dining.

It also connects to a large multi-purpose room, currently set up as a music and cinema room, with direct access to the garden, swimming pool, and pool house. A large stone cellar, ideal for wine storage, is also accessible from this room.

Upstairs, a master suite of over 50 m² (complemented by a mezzanine and an additional room suitable for use as a bedroom or office) comprises the bedroom, a bathroom (with a whirlpool tub), and a dressing room.

Seven additional bedrooms complete the sleeping quarters; three have en-suite shower rooms, and there is also a separate bathroom.

This entire area benefits from independent outdoor access, offering great flexibility in how the space is used.

Outside, the 12 m x 6 m swimming pool immediately catches the eye and is equipped with an electric safety cover. The 75 m² pool house—with space for a summer kitchen, shower, and toilet, creates a true outdoor living area. A well adjoins this relaxation zone. Convertible outbuildings adjoin the pool house, complemented by two 15 m² stalls facing them.

The concert hall:

Situated apart from the main house, a soundproofed concert hall of approximately 100 m², featuring excellent acoustics, full accessibility for people with disabilities, and all necessary public-use permits, represents a rare and unique asset. It includes a cloakroom, kitchen, pantry, and mezzanine. A large parking area capable of accommodating at least fifty vehicles serves this space, opening up numerous operational possibilities.

The 3-hectare grounds feature a stream running through the property and a river bordering it. A wide expanse of greenery ensures privacy between the residence and the water. The entire estate is secured at the entrance by a gate equipped with an intercom system. Facilities and operating costs:

The property boasts a remarkably comprehensive set of energy solutions: geothermal heating, 6 kW photovoltaic panels, thermodynamic panels, as well as a private spring and a water supply from the Canal de Provence.

Combined with a complete renovation using bio-sourced materials, this setup ensures very low operating costs—a rare selling point for a property of this scale.
