Extending over approximately 52 hectares, the estate represents an exceptionally rare land and heritage opportunity in the region. Its extensive agricultural grounds, already home to vineyards and olive trees, provide an outstanding setting and numerous opportunities for agricultural, viticultural or olive-growing development. One of the property’s major assets is its water resources. The estate benefits from two existing reservoirs, one of which is particularly large, as well as what is described as a permanent water supply. This is an especially valuable advantage for the cultivation and maintenance of such extensive grounds, and for considering future agricultural projects. At the heart of this exceptional setting stands a majestic 17th-century manor house, bearing witness to several centuries of Provençal history. Arranged over three levels, it offers generous proportions, elegant reception rooms and eight bedrooms. A second independent dwelling, comprising four bedrooms, completes the residential accommodation, bringing the current total to twelve bedrooms.

In total, the property comprises approximately 1,200 sq m of documented usable built space, including the residences and their numerous outbuildings, offering considerable potential for renovation and conversion. The development possibilities are particularly remarkable. Subject to the necessary authorisations and applicable regulations, the property could accommodate an ambitious agricultural, viticultural or olive-growing project, a prestigious family residence, a high-end hospitality venture, an equestrian project, or an exceptional venue for receptions and stays. The scale of the land, the diversity of the buildings, the existing crops and, above all, the water resources give this estate a truly distinctive character and exceptional potential. A comprehensive renovation would fully reveal the grandeur of this historic residence and breathe new life into an outstanding piece of Provençal heritage. Far more than a property, this is a private estate steeped in history, character and promise, offering the rare opportunity to create a major project in the heart of Provence. A truly exceptional property, intended for heritage enthusiasts, lovers of wide-open spaces and investors seeking an authentic estate with remarkable potential.
