ACT I — THE STAGE ENTRYThe portal opens. Silence settles in.Before you stands a noble and majestic bastide, as if taken from the set of an ancient theater.The perfectly aligned cypress trees stand guard.The boxwood shaped into balls outlines the gardens with almost royal precision.In the distance, the view delicately clears over the bell tower, bathed in light and tranquility.And yet... the city center, shops, and amenities are within walking distance, like a discreet luxury that few homes can offer.ACT II — THE DECORI am a bastide of 203 m², elegantly set on 1,800 m² of land.Beneath my high ceilings lie six bedrooms, and a majestic living room with an open fireplace where winter evenings crackle just like in family homes of yesteryear.My kitchen, entirely custom-made by a craftsman, unveils a superb marble countertop from Tavel, and my columns as well as my staircases have been carved from the stone of Baux-de-Provence.My artisanal wooden joinery also tells the story of noble work and timeless detail.ACT III — THE FINALOutside, receptions extend onto a vast terrace facing the garden and the stone swimming pool topped with its stone mascaron; the sculpted face of yore, silent witnesses of ancient fountains and washhouses.Some houses are for visiting.Others are for living.Me... I am meant to be played.Information about the risks to which this property is exposed is available on the Géorisques site: www.georisques.gouv.frSale price: 1,196,000 €Fees chargeable to the sellerContact your SAFTI advisor: Hélène MICHAUX, Tel: 06 08 42 23 12, Email: [email protected] - EI - Commercial agent registered with the RSAC of AVIGNON under the number 882007214This description has been automatically translated from French.

But beyond its characteristics, it is above all the atmosphere that distinguishes this property. An atmosphere that has become rare.

A confidential property. A collection address. An exceptional place for those who seek the inimitable.
