18th century architecture, this superb, meticulously renovated stone bastide articulates around 400 m2 of living space around two large patios/gardens, on a plot of 1,137 m2 in the middle of the vineyards, in Éguilles, in the Aix countryside.
 
Magnificently renovated by the current owner, a creative talent from the world of fashion, this country house of respectable age is today a welcoming cocoon. The facade has regained the splendor of its original stones and keeps the secrets of parties and prestigious guests. A first patio in the shade of an incredible plane tree welcomes you. Everywhere, elements of the past are magnified by contemporary interventions such as Corten steel joinery. A bright entrance with a large guest dressing room sets the tone: no compromise between usefulness and charm. The windows transform the neighboring vineyards into living paintings. Level games mark the different spaces. On the floor of the double living room, the Agnès Emery cement tiles accompany the black metal beams to highlight the trace of a wall from the past and harmonize with the tone of the aged oak parquet flooring. In the kitchen, separate and welcoming, the old sandblasted round beams, the white Zellige layout of the splashback and the oak facades made by a carpenter give the look of yesteryear. The fire in the large stone fireplace warms winter tables while the shaded terrace refreshes summer meals. The first floor is organized as a luxurious suite, with a spacious bedroom, a bathroom, an office and a large dressing room. A large bedroom and its bathroom occupy the entire top floor, under the roof. Under the stone vaults of the basement, a gym and spa as well as a wine cellar illustrate the adage 'after the effort, comfort'. A large office, a former recording studio with annexes, opens its bay windows onto a terrace made of old railway logs, facing the garden. Outside, the beautiful height of an old veranda protects the pétanque games and gives the garden the feeling of a second patio. A beautiful annex clad in stone distinctly accommodates two guest bedrooms and their bathrooms. The nerve center of the place, the heated salt pool, adjoins the furnished poolhouse, treated like a vacation spot.
 
A property from a sublime past, with many stories to tell...
