Nineteenth-century architecture, this building of nearly 400 m2 set on a 2,065 m2 plot, embodies a true architectural and artistic manifesto, located in the heart of the Provençal village of Barjols, renowned for its contemporary artist studios.

Behind its cement and lime façade, this unique property tells a story in two parts, as if suspended between eras. The first major transformation in 1910 introduced a delicate modernity: colored cement tiles, customized electrification designed for an elegant Italian, and refined ornamentation where colors and bucolic details converse with poetry. The original elements, carefully preserved, testify to this past: stained glass windows, moldings, shuttered windows, custom switches blending crystal and ivory, marble fireplaces, and antique doors create an authentic decor. In the kitchen, a period piece, the potager, is accompanied by a sink made of Cassis stone, signature of a bygone art of living. Outside, the garden follows the tradition of the historic gardens of Barjols, whose origins date back to the Renaissance. Among stone walls, washrooms, and basins, it offers a timeless stroll. The vegetation displays a vibrant and sensitive palette: a multitude of flowers (iris, peonies, and agapanthus) coexist with about fifty old roses and an orchard, composing a constantly evolving floral tableau. The second rehabilitation, carried out in 2001 by the current owners, artists, extends this story with a deeply respectful approach to ancient know-how. Lime coatings, textured paints, and reworked fireplaces and moldings in ceramic. Every detail contributes to making the house a living work of art. On the upper floor, completely restored, century-old wallpapers coexist with cement tiles laid according to traditional plaster techniques. Three large garages, two bastidons of 25 and 30 m2 to renovate, and many other ancillary spaces complete this rare ensemble.

More than just a residence, this place is an experience: a journey through time, a potential guesthouse, a permanent invitation to art and contemplation.
