Unusual but real, a Château with such a big plot of land and beautiful bicentenary trees, is located in the heart of a large village with all shops and restaurants in the greater Avignon area, the famous Provence, South of France. The property has been recently restored, knowing how to keep all its charm and authenticity and to the same time all technical installations have been renewed. We find beautiful floors, the staircase going over 3 floors with a nice point of view from the top, old windows and doors with original handles. In almost every room is a marble fireplace which could be made working etc. Not only new nice shower rooms, each with basin and WC, have been fit in or modernised, as well all plumbing has been newly installed.

General condition It is a nice and respectful renovation with good finishings, mostly travertine has been used for the shower rooms. Wifi is in all rooms and pool and orangerie area available, TV in each room too. All the installation for water and electricity is redone. Fuel central heating, simple glazed wooden windows. The wooden shutters is something the owner didn't come round to take care of. Comment A beautifully renovated Château with bright rooms facing the sun and offering lovely views from everywhere. Shops and restaurants at walking distance, plenty of sites to be visited in the area. Could be a rental business with great income potential or a lovely family home, still with letting income from the independent apartments if not used for extended family.
