luxury real estate for sale Lafare, France (page 42)

A small country residence with its little hut and terraced gardens on the heights of Villeneuve-lès-Avignon, opposite the Palais des Papes. The property is located in the heart of a peaceful part of the highly sought-after little town of Villeneuve-lès-Avignon, a holiday resort for cardinals during the Avignon Papacy from 1309-1403 and now a privileged residential area near the 'Cité des Papes' (papal city). The gated complex of a contemporary residence stands out from the Chemin de Monteau which, as its name suggests, leads up to the heights of the village. At the end of the street, there is a private car park: to the right of the large two-car garage, a narrow path leads up to a metal wicket gate. From here, a flight of uneven steps, punctuated by landings, leads to the house and the 'mazet' (hut) below, surrounded by greenery. The grounds are laid out in 'restanques' (terraces), the largest featuring a small house built against the rock, sheltered from the mistral wind - a major advantage in this region - and from prying eyes. It is extended by a terrace shaded by a period wisteria-covered arbour. Continuing on through the pines and hackberries, there is a mazet which has been converted into a lodge, with an adjoining terrace and shady courtyard, overlooking the roofs of the houses at the bottom of the town. The owner, an architect, restored and remodelled the dwelling presenting a facade with simple, evenly spaced openings. On the eastern side, it features a modern extension with large picture windows and glass doors, topped by a roof terrace.

Halfway between Saint Rémy de Provence and Avignon, stands, in the heart of nature, a magnificent estate of almost 30 hectares, a place conducive to recharging your batteries. This superb stone farmhouse has an area of ​​500 square meters of living space. The main building of 350 m² has retained its Provençal charm with terracotta tiles, beautiful beams and fireplaces. A caretaker’s house and an outbuilding dedicated to guests complete the package. A generously sized swimming pool faces a green setting and is complemented by its terrace with a summer kitchen. Some outbuildings accommodate a stable with 2 boxes, 2 garages and a 90 m² shed. The property consists mainly of scrubland and meadows, an 850-foot olive grove and 400 truffle oaks. 15 minutes from Avignon TGV station.

Superb charming house... The door opens onto a magnificent courtyard and a beautiful façade in the background, with its arches and mouldings: an unsuspected air of Tuscany, in the centre of Avignon intra muros.  The house consists of an entrance hall with beautiful cement tiles, wc and dressing room, a dining room and a kitchen with fireplace, all with views over the courtyard, its cypresses and yews.  The first floor consists of a perfectly proportioned living room with alcove, French ceilings, parquet flooring and a study. A hallway leads to a bedroom with elegant mouldings, opening onto a balcony with views of the courtyard. Also on this level, a shower room and toilets, a duplex, a storage space and a dressing room.  The second floor has three bedrooms and a bathroom. Access to the attic is also via this level.  A garage completes this confidential place as well as numerous storage spaces and a heated swimming pool under a glass roof - which can be opened up completely - in order to make the most of this space and its amenities. A place, an atmosphere, an address. More than rare and ''so charming''.

Built during the French Third Republic by a rich industrialist from Avignon for his family, this manor house, which is called the 'château', stands exactly opposite the Palace of the Popes. Its exterior and interior architecture typifies the 'eclectic' style, inspired by both the Anglo-Norman neo-Tudor style and the Italianate style of the grand villas of the Riviera.

Resolutely asymmetrical, the facade is enriched with recesses, colonnades, 'reigning transoms' between the windows, archivolts and bulb-shaped balusters, spread over three levels forming a true encyclopaedia of architectural decorations, such as the 19th century loved to produce and which the 20th century described as 'kitsch'. On the ground floor, a four-columned portico with Ionic-inspired scrolls rises from a forecourt supporting a terrace linked to the garden by a wide stone staircase. At the top, a loggia is surmounted by an acroterion in the form of an upright acanthus leaf and a turret with a four-sided slate roof. The château is divided into six flats.
