luxury properties for sale Les Vans, France (page 2)

In the Provence/Languedoc region, with its olive groves, natural bushland, lavender and wheat fields and of course….its traditional farmhouses and charming manor houses! These properties which inspire you to dream, and with reason, because these ancient farms were built in a privileged environment, with plenty of room for welcoming others, in an atmosphere of harmonious conviviality where it was always a pleasure to gather together. Walls bathed in sunlight, part of the heritage of the South of France, integrate perfectly into the landscape. However, before the dream can become a reality, the major task is to ensure the necessary work so that the heritage is conserved, with new renovations which don’t upset the balance between the structure and the authentic atmosphere of the house. To lance oneself into the renovation of such a farmhouse is a project which you can’t improvise! Nothing can be left to hazard…nearly is a village with remarkable, renowned architecture. This farm, built on 3.7 hectares, partly woodland, was once attached to the 18th Century Chateau, and it shelters a well-conceived project: a family home full of inspiration in which all the daily needs have been anticipated; each element comes from heart-felt consideration. Once you pass the gate, it’s like arriving at the end of the world. In this place, the host has created a southern French decor « Côté Sud » with thought for the most minor details for all of the 485m² of living space, divided into two main dwellings of 205 and 143m² and other outbuildings. A mix of inspirations has been used in the decoration, which is vibrant with evocative colours and natural materials. A long 13 x 2.8m swimming pool neighbours a pool full of water lilies and a magnificent, spacious summer kitchen with oriental lines, adorned with a splendid wood oven. You find, almost by accident, an office space of 50m² (which could become a guest house), 2 studios of 26 and 29m² as well as a recording studio of 33m². The cherry on the cake? The concert room of 170m² with a license for performances, and space for an audience of 200 people! That’s not to forget the collection of cellars (totalling 94m²), a two-story barn with a ground level surface of 97m²… We have perhaps failed to achieve our purpose…we have ignored the simple and veritable happiness of those who truly find such a place!
