luxury houses for sale Boulbon, France (page 3)

A 19th-century town house to be renovated with a floor area of 280m², a patio garden and a terrace, nestled between the cities of Arles and Avignon in southern France. The dwelling is tucked away in the Saint-Nicolas district of Tarascon. It is a typical example of a traditional Provençal town house. Several generations of local merchants lived in this dwelling for a whole century. The house was probably built not long after the French Revolution at a time when a merchant class was starting to thrive, gaining wealth from famous fairs and markets in the local region. The facade has been entirely restored with old-style rendering on the ground floor. An even pattern of limestone blocks with pointing is left exposed on the first and second floors. Like most houses in this historical district of Tarascon, the dwelling was built with Fontvieille limestone on the remains of pre-existing Roman and medieval constructions. Inside, the edifice has kept several original decorative features from the Middle Ages, including an even bond of stonework in the load-bearing walls, strong arched lintels above doors and intriguing vaulted passages. Outside, on the street, the house proudly displays its large, thick shutters. These shutters, made of wood and painted, are typical of the Arlesian style and they characterise Provence’s age-old craftsmanship. The shutter above the main entrance has kept its little hatch, or spy hole, which would be looked through, without the observer being noticed, to see who was knocking at the door when all the shutters were closed. The house is nestled on a calm pedestrian street in the town centre. This road is an integral part of a symmetrical layout that offers a harmonious urban view: your gaze is drawn to a baroque theatre in a former chapel of the Order of Preachers and a small square beside it. Both were recently restored masterfully. Fine town houses stand along the main street that runs past the theatre and the square. The flagship site of a well-known firm of Provençal fabrics also lies on a nearby street. Tarascon is this firm’s historical birthplace. The dwelling’s roof of old red barrel tiles has been restored. Much of the interior needs to be renovated.

A small eighteenth-century town house with a patio, nestled on a calm, elegant street in the heart of the old Provençal town of Tarascon. From the fifteenth century, the prosperity of Tarascon drew many families: aristocrats as much as merchants and upper middle classes. Clergymen also came. These newcomers built grand private houses: they were keen to leave their mark on the town. The town houses of Tarascon often display rich architectural embellishments in the style of Provençal Mannerism, which dominated in the seventeenth century. But some of these town houses were also plain and small. Since the Middle Ages, town houses have been defined as simply urban dwellings occupied by single owners, so their size does not really determine their category. It was mainly from the eighteenth century onwards that small town houses – those with a floor area of less than 300m² – were built along commercial streets within Tarascon itself, where they were sheltered from the cold mistral wind of winter and from the hot sun of summer. They were made for wealthy merchants rather than for nobility and their style differs to that of grand, sumptuous palaces. The bombings of the Second World War damaged Tarascon but left almost all these old town houses intact: these historical dwellings were not close to the town’s strategic rail line, nor to the bridge across the River Rhône. These homes were often built upon ruins from the Middle Ages or antiquity and they all adopted a similar layout. Moreover, they are all made of the same fine materials: old monk-and-nun tiling, large tiles of grey Barbentane stone, wrought-iron window railings and walls made of limestone from the quarries of Les Baux-de-Provence and Fontvieille. Furthermore, they often reused fragments of column shafts from antiquity. Indeed, reuse of materials from the old remains upon which they were built is a constant feature among them.

A 17th century fortified farmhouse with its dovecote and convertible outbuildings between the Alpilles and the Camargue, in need of renovation. The date 1633, engraved in the stone above the entrance porch, could be misleading: the ancient rampart wall of stone from the Fontvieille quarries with its exposed corbels probably goes back much further. An iron gateway has been installed behind the heavy oak entrance doors. Two old barns, one of which was probably an oratory, frame the main building, which faces north-east/south-west. On the outer walls of the fortified building, animal ex-votos are carved into the limestone, bearing witness to the golden age of the local bullfighting traditions called 'bouvine”, under the impetus of the 'gentleman-guardian' Folco de Baroncelli. In the former hayloft, the pinkish-coloured Douglas fir beams support a fully restored monk-and-nun tile roof. The eaves feature a corbelled overhang ending in a traditional three-row frieze. A few openings protected by single-leaf shutters brighten up the main building. A dovecote topped by a four-sided roof set in the corner of the perimeter wall reflects the aristocratic status of the family that erected the estate and lived here for several centuries.

A completely restored late 18th-century tonwhouse with its three connecting enclosed courtyards in Tarascon. 'To live happily, live hidden' was the motto of the many famous people who have taken refuge behind the thick walls of the Tarascon houses. These discreet and silent houses are hidden behind medieval street corners, in little courtyards, under the shade of a church or a cluster of laurel trees. As soon as their doors are pushed open, they open onto lush gardens or refreshing landscaped courtyards. Next to all sizes of mansions, from the most sophisticated to the most discreet, alongside former convents, and the solid showy buildings built by rich merchants under the vast Renaissance porticoes, also to be found are surprisingly the more modest dwellings of fishermen with their indescribable charm that have recently aroused a great deal of interest. That is certainly the case for this unassuming house. Like many others in the area, it was built at the end of the 18th century for fishermen who depended on the Rhône as their source of food. Built in stone from the Boulbon and Fontvieille quarries or in blocks salvaged from Roman monuments and rendered in a pale colour, these small dwellings are generally two storeys high. Their facades have generous windows, with one on either side of the front door and two upstairs. Provided they receive loving attention, they offer unsuspected possibilities, with their multiple patios, interconnecting courtyards and beautiful old materials.

An 18th-century country house of 600 m², with natural swimming pool, park and 19-hectare olive-growing estate, 15 minutes from Avignon TGV station. This is a bastide with a history that is not easily unveiled. Its Provence name, which means 'to preserve and respect', may well refer to a Masonic practice that existed in 18th-century lodges but has since disappeared. And it was precisely at this time that the bastide was built, probably on top of pre-existing medieval foundations. A symbol in the centre of the park's majestic wrought-iron entrance gate adds to the mystery: a hexagram, or 'Star of David', suggests that the estate may have belonged to a Jewish banker in the service of the Avignon papacy. However, there are no official records to support this hypothesis, which has become a local legend. It should be remembered that the hexagram is a decorative figure found in Christian, Hindu, Japanese and pre-Islamic Arab architectural symbolism; the six branches of the star representing the six days of work, with the seventh day, the day of rest, in the hollowed-out centre of the geometry. The residence, surrounded by around 4 hectares of wooded parklands, is situated at the south-east end of a 15-hectare olive grove, criss-crossed by chequered tracks. Some of the earth paths run alongside one of the high dykes protecting the property from the Rhone River, which provides the entire estate with a much-envied wealth of silt and a constant supply of water. The bastide, at once an aristocratic residence and a farmhouse, displays all the distinctive features of its particular architectural style. As the construction of such a complex always takes time, the square, affluent 18th-century buildings were extended at the beginning of the 19th century by two lower adjoining buildings. Not far away, a single-storey outbuilding dating from the late 19th century, used as a caretaker's lodge, ensures from a distance that the peace and quiet of the bastide, a true 'manor house' surrounded by its estate, is preserved.
