This château, built around 1600, once belonged to the co-seigneurs of the region, establishing it within a feudal tradition where several noble families shared the rights and responsibilities of a single seigneury. This arrangement strengthened local influence and ensured collective management of the land. In the 19th century, the château became a literary retreat for Pierre Alexis Ponson du Terrail, who wrote parts of his famous serialized novel Rocambole here, giving the estate a unique character. The first of the current owner's lineage purchased the château as a hunting lodge, and each summer, the family from Marseille would come to stay and hunt. This ancestor was a devoted supporter of Count de Chambord, King Henri V, the last legitimate heir to the throne for royalists. This allegiance reflects the château's deep ties to French history. In 1920, an agricultural wing was added, designed by a renowned architect to form a complete farm estate. It includes a sheepfold, hay barns, several dovecotes, pigsties, kennels, a silkworm house, a washhouse, an old bread oven, vehicle spaces, a water cistern, and worker accommodations. The current owners continue to run this agricultural operation and lease the surrounding land. In the 1970s, modern comforts such as gas central heating, a new kitchen, and upgraded bathrooms were introduced. However, the original condition remains largely untouched, offering excellent restoration potential. Today, maintenance costs have become too high for the current owners, and, after seven generations, they reluctantly offer the estate for sale. Thanks to its rich past, the château and its agricultural buildings now offer a property of exceptional character, blending heritage, prestige, and authenticity, perfect for history enthusiasts and those who appreciate storied places. There are around 16 hectares of arable land, and the woods are managed by a simple forestry plan, to be continued by the buyer. With a renovation budget (for roofing, floors, plumbing, electricity, and sanitation), this property can be restored to its former splendor. This castle is located closeby a charming village of around 750 residents in the Luberon, Provence, offering a relaxed lifestyle. A bakery is just steps away, where the baker sells excellent bread, the grocery store offers local cheeses and charcuterie, and the terraces, brasseries, and restaurants under the grand plane trees provide a friendly atmosphere. The village is lively, with a post office, a nursery and primary school, a town hall, an antique store, a bistro, an inn, a pizzeria, pottery studios, and a few galleries. Nature is ever-present, with lavender fields, endless forests, the mountains behind the village, and the ochre cliffs offering breathtaking colors during each hike. The town of Apt, with shops, a high school, middle school, cinema, and restaurants, is 10 km away. The Avignon TGV station is about 1 hour 15 minutes away, and Marseille Airport is around 1 hour 30 minutes by car. Please feel free to contact me for more information and to schedule a viewing. I would be delighted to show you this exceptional property!

The current real estate property has a fascinating history, initially being a Templar Commandery built in the 12th century. Some facades and roofs of this property are registered and protected by an order dated August 5, 1976. Located in a commanding position, it offers an exceptional view over the Luberon Valley.

Each living space is harmoniously arranged, terrace upon terrace, bordered by plantings to maintain a natural aspect. At the back, there is a separate caretaker's apartment with two bedrooms, a garage, and a large storage room housing the technical equipment. The nearly 5000 m² plot, located in the heart of the village, is slightly sloped. It is entirely enclosed by stone walls and terraced. The landscaping is meticulous, featuring numerous plant species, grassed slabs, and an elegant basin with a fountain. Acquired in the 1950s by Parisians who restored it to make it their residence for about fifty years, the property was sold to the current owner in 2006. The latter undertook extensive renovations lasting four years. All the buildings have been completely renovated while preserving the original structure. The construction work was done using local stones, and most of the materials used are antique and of high quality (stone slabs, oak beams and frameworks). All carpentry is custom-made from solid wood and wrought iron, and all networks, home automation systems, elevator, sanitary installations, heating, and air conditioning are new. The Mouvement kitchen is beautifully integrated and functional, whether for private or professional use with a chef. The result is a unique property, offering an exceptional level of finish and comfort!
