Luxury bastides for sale Mazan, France (page 2)

A superb bastide that has been completely restored and preserved its character.  The gate opens onto a beautiful cypress avenue and a field of fig trees, like an airlock between the city and the Provencal countryside.  The bastide appears under its pine trees like a reinterpreted Cézanne painting.  The historic entrance to the building has been preserved, and is accessed via a double staircase and a second, old-fashioned gateway delimiting a delightful garden with a charming central pool.  The door leads to a central vestibule with a vast staircase in perspective, a dining room adjoining a fully-equipped kitchen and its private, more intimate terrace. This is followed by a living room with a beautiful old fireplace, a library, an office (or another possible bedroom), access to a beautiful vaulted stone cellar - and its tasting room -, a laundry room and other amenities. The second floor opens onto a first suite, a vestibule with a superb view over the first garden and the pool area in perspective. Another large bedroom and a smaller one. Then there are two further suites and a vast games room. The top floor features an independent parental space: a bedroom with rare volumes, large bathroom/shower, dressing room and toilet. This last level enjoys panoramic views.  An annex close to the house: a former wine-making cellar houses the property's technical equipment: softener, suppressors (borehole + mains water), hot water tanks. Another room on the first floor serves as a storage area and garage, and can easily be converted into an additional dwelling house: R+1 with generous volumes, or for bedrooms/suites to be created as well (at least 6 possible).  The relaxation area - created separately - is a unique complementary space with its Italian perspectives, unobstructed views, vast swimming pool, pool house... The pool house is equipped with a lounge, summer kitchen, barbecue, pizza oven and cooking piano, as well as a shower with toilet, storage space and a machine room. The fully fenced property continues with an olive grove in full production (approx. 300 trees), a henhouse, a preserved curiosity (a charming old bungalow) and a wilder part: meadows, a pine forest and garrigue. A green lung preserving the bastide and giving access to walks of all kinds directly in the secret Alpilles.  Finally, an additional building is used for storage and could be converted into a beautiful second home or janitor's cottage (with its own separate access from the main driveway).  A rare property, file on request.

An 18th-century country house of 600 m², with natural swimming pool, park and 19-hectare olive-growing estate, 15 minutes from Avignon TGV station. This is a bastide with a history that is not easily unveiled. Its Provence name, which means 'to preserve and respect', may well refer to a Masonic practice that existed in 18th-century lodges but has since disappeared. And it was precisely at this time that the bastide was built, probably on top of pre-existing medieval foundations. A symbol in the centre of the park's majestic wrought-iron entrance gate adds to the mystery: a hexagram, or 'Star of David', suggests that the estate may have belonged to a Jewish banker in the service of the Avignon papacy. However, there are no official records to support this hypothesis, which has become a local legend. It should be remembered that the hexagram is a decorative figure found in Christian, Hindu, Japanese and pre-Islamic Arab architectural symbolism; the six branches of the star representing the six days of work, with the seventh day, the day of rest, in the hollowed-out centre of the geometry. The residence, surrounded by around 4 hectares of wooded parklands, is situated at the south-east end of a 15-hectare olive grove, criss-crossed by chequered tracks. Some of the earth paths run alongside one of the high dykes protecting the property from the Rhone River, which provides the entire estate with a much-envied wealth of silt and a constant supply of water. The bastide, at once an aristocratic residence and a farmhouse, displays all the distinctive features of its particular architectural style. As the construction of such a complex always takes time, the square, affluent 18th-century buildings were extended at the beginning of the 19th century by two lower adjoining buildings. Not far away, a single-storey outbuilding dating from the late 19th century, used as a caretaker's lodge, ensures from a distance that the peace and quiet of the bastide, a true 'manor house' surrounded by its estate, is preserved.
