luxury bastide with reception room for sale Banon, France

An 18th century manor house with a shaded garden, surrounded by nature, on the outskirts of a village perched on the eastern flanks of the Luberon Mountains. This country house solemnly and imposingly looms into view at the end of a winding earthen track through the fields from the main road between Apt and Forcalquier, tucked away at the bottom of the Luberon Mountains’ foothills. In bygone days, it was an integral part of a huge farming estate, spread around three buildings, including the main farmhouse, a short way away. The four-storey manor house faces due south. The property is surrounded by arable land that gently slopes down over three terraces to a river below. It was split from the rest of the estate during the second half of the 20th century, when the diocese of Marseille purchased it to set up a holiday centre for families. An outbuilding with a covered patio looking onto an olive grove that follows the same alignment as the main residence dates from this era in all likelihood.

In the heart of an exceptional environment, with a panoramic view of unspoiled nature, at the gates of Sault, at the foot of Mont Ventoux, between lavender fields and state forest, this beautiful stone character home set on a landscaped plot of about 1.3 hectares combines elegance, authenticity, and a sweet way of life.

On the other hand, the sleeping area offers a beautiful master suite with separate toilets, as well as a small mezzanine in the hallway. Formerly run as a guesthouse, the property offers three beautiful independent bedrooms, each with private shower rooms and toilets. The places are in excellent condition and immediately usable.

The pool surrounded by a covered terrace allows for fully enjoying long sunny days with a spectacular view. Thanks to its privileged living environment between Aurel and Sault, known for its market, artisans, and iconic landscapes, the property enjoys an ideal location. From the house, you can even reach Sault on foot, via a superb path crossing the state forest. Aurel, with its typical alleys, absolute calm, and authentic atmosphere, offers an unparalleled way of life, focused on nature, hiking, biking, and discovering the treasures of Ventoux and the Albion plateau.
