19th century architecture, this building of nearly 400 m2 set on a plot of 2,065 m2 embodies a true architectural and artistic manifesto, located in the heart of the Provençal village of Barjols, renowned for its contemporary artist workshops.

Behind its cement and lime facade, the 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, custom-designed electrification for an elegant Italian, and refined ornamentation where colors and bucolic details poetically interact. The original elements, carefully preserved, testify to this past: stained glass, moldings, shuttered windows, bespoke 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 stone sink from Cassis, a signature of a bygone way of life. Outside, the garden follows in the tradition of the historic gardens of Barjols, whose origins date back to the Renaissance. Between stone walls, washbasins, and ponds, it offers a timeless stroll. The vegetation displays a vibrant and sensitive palette: a multitude of flowers (iris, peonies, and agapanthuses) coexists with about fifty old rose bushes and an orchard, composing a constantly evolving floral scene. The second renovation, carried out in 2001 by the current owners, artists, extends this story with a deeply respectful approach to traditional craftsmanship. Lime plaster, textured paints, and remodeled fireplaces and moldings with ceramics. Every detail contributes to making the house a living work of art. On the upper floor, fully restored, century-old wallpapers coexist with cement tiles laid according to traditional plaster techniques. Three large garages, two small buildings of 25 and 30 m2 to renovate, and numerous other ancillary spaces complete this rare ensemble.

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