luxury bastide for sale Sisteron, France

Imagine waking up each morning in an 18th-century manor house, soothed by the sound of cicadas and surrounded by breathtaking views of the hills of Haute-Provence. This 20-hectare estate, in the heart of the Forcalquier region, is not simply a property. It is the invitation to taste an extraordinary quality of life. Restored with absolute respect for Provençal authenticity, the old stone building offers nearly 500 sq.m of living area arranged around a central courtyard where a 15 x 7 m swimming pool sparkles in the sun, reminiscent of an old-fashioned Provençal water feature. Open fireplaces, stone floors, a large kitchen backing onto a 48-sq.m teak terrace: every feature exudes understated elegance. You will find seven bedrooms, a 46-sq.m artist's studio, a caretaker's apartment, three cellars and a 3-hectare landscaped garden planted with olive trees and truffle oaks. Radiating beauty, this exceptional property could be renovated to suit all your desires, from a prestigious home to a creative retreat. Abundant water, meadows for horses, views in all four directions and located only 45 minutes from the Aix-en-Provence TGV station: this is a unique setting where time stands still, rooted in history yet ready to embrace the future.
