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!

Perched high on a hill, the castle, with its two rectangular towers, overlooks the entire valley. It faces a park of approximately 8977m2, landscaped with trees and featuring a swimming pool. With an area of approximately 800 m2, it offers a living area of approximately 300 m2, an annex to the West with living room kitchen, 4 bedrooms, furnished outdoor terrace and various outbuildings with cellar, attics, former outbuildings for agricultural use and garage. Overall, the building is in good condition. Some work will be required depending on the projects to fully exploit its potential. Located in the middle of the land, a magnificent dovecote built like a tower and a large shed to renovate enhance the whole. Rare in the heart of unspoiled nature, an authentic estate full of character, ideally located near tourist sites and charming villages.

The “Mas de la Brune”, a listed, Renaissance-style gem, its 4 ha of parklands and its gardens at the foot of the Alpilles mountains in Eygalières. At the end of a row of two-hundred-year-old horse chestnut trees, three interconnected constructions comprise the buildings on this predominantly wooded, 4-ha property. The first is the Renaissance-style manor house, known as the “Mas de la Brune”, constructed in 1572; the only building of this type, standing in the middle of the land, rising up like a nave, proudly showing visitors the prow of its watch-turret. Directly adjoining the manor, a more recent construction dating from the 18th century stands in the shade of a three-hundred-year-old lime tree. This building once housed the staff accommodation. And lastly, on the east side, where a perimeter wall no doubt once existed, a rehabilitated farmhouse is separated from the manor by a row of cypress trees. Opening on to a vast courtyard that extends behind the French formal garden, it acts as a link with the rest of the parklands, where the permanent singing of the precious water, coming down from the Alpilles Mountains via the canal of the same name, can be heard. The French Historic Monument listing, dating from the 9 August 1924, applies solely to the “Mas de la Brune”, already showing on Cassini’s 18th century map under the name of “Grand Mas”. Some say it was constructed for the consul Pierre-Bruno-Isnard, who gave it the feminine version of his surname, whilst others maintain it was for an alchemist, whose name is long forgotten. In both cases, this outstanding building, entirely constructed from Baux stone, was probably built by master mason, Gaston-Flayelle, native of the Vivarais region, who also designed the “Hôtel de Manville” in Les-Baux-de-Provence. The size of the manor house, its biblical paraphrases sculpted on the façade, like a big open book, and including the secret number of steps of its spiral stairway tend to reinforce the hypothesis of an alchemist’s home. A spacious tiled swimming pool, cleverly concealed from onlookers in a copse of laurel bushes, has been installed a good distance from the main house. And lastly, a carpark, out of sight of the manor but able to take ten or so cars, has been laid out in the shade of mulberry plane trees.

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. This property, with a usable area of approximately 650 m², includes a main residence spread over three levels with a terrace and courtyard. It boasts magnificent reception areas, an equipped kitchen, six en-suite bedrooms, a former chapel, a wine cellar, a tower/pool house, and an infinity pool (15 x 5 meters) with stunning views over the 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!
