"Exclusivity" In medieval dominance in the heart of southern Luberon, near Lourmarin, a 165 m2 residence transformed within a classified 13th-century Romanesque chapel. 138 m2 of living space in the chapel (4 bedrooms + 1 bathroom + 2 shower rooms) + annex dwelling of 40 m2 + a workshop of 30 m2 + garage of 38 m2. The residence has taken place within an atypical architecture in an equally unusual setting, with sobriety and elegance desacralized long ago. The layout is remarkable in proportion. Great care has been taken in its historical construction with soul and skill, echoing the dressed stones on the facade. A 35 m2 living room, with high volume, is at the heart of the apse adorned with triptych frescoes by Painter Pierre Girieud, adorned with crossed ribbed vaults, its elegant double arch, and a 20th-century fireplace of sculpted arabesque liana, form the cradle of intimacy recalling time, history, and a spiritual imprint. A striking building filled with attractions and harmony evokes beauty now. The heads of the facades with classified stained glass provide the whole with precious luminescence, inviting eternity in light. The space is partitioned by a transept arm (absidiole) exposed to the East (small living room) and by an entrance porch to the south. A ceiling and floor unite in a solid wood mezzanine (sleeping area on the floor), overlooking the partition of the nave, beautifully crafted support layout so well adjusted to the bearing facade, an effort by Compagnons du devoir. Connected to the main space, on the ground floor we find a decidedly sober traditional kitchen of 24 m2, with a beam ceiling, serving as a dining room with an open fireplace. A half-moon arch window leads to two terraces facing south and west, with a paved mineral courtyard. On the ground floor, a 30 m2 bedroom, high volume with its accessing porch, an architectural element of great presence, its bright ogival arch window, signature of a filigree wrought iron grille, opens onto the garden space of the priory to the east, a shady Eden. The bedroom has a shower room, with a custom-finished cabochon floor. A second shower room is located on the ground floor with 1 toilet. On the first floor, a wooden staircase leads to 2 bedrooms: a 21 m2 bedroom on the mezzanine, with a vaulted ceiling, with an opening to the east onto a discreet garden surrounding the building. Opposite is another bedroom of 24 m2 raised above the terrace courtyard to the west. Surrounding it is a main annex of 25 m2 carefully fitted out and restored (new roof) which includes a kitchen lounge, with wooden beams and terracotta flooring. An 11 m2 bedroom, a bathroom with an ogival stained glass window set in emerald color, as well as a toilet. The approach to the annex is punctuated by columns (x3) evoking proud Roman vestiges. A workshop adorns the property, a vaulted tectonic cellar, 2 covered carports for 4 cars, as well as a 30 m2 convertible garage, extending from the main annex. There is a laundry room and a pantry. Possible parking for 10 cars. A remarkable element is located below the property; the natural swimming area is set in the rock formation of a cavity, a carefully arranged jewel offering a true Eden with its aesthetic uniqueness, a haven of peace enriched with lush Mediterranean vegetation. We find 3 natural caves on the property suitable for themed arrangements, as well as a storage shed. The property has a borehole. This place stands out for its many assets for lovers and aesthetes of architecture, heritage, and nature (oaks, pines, and Mediterranean species). A personalized interior design would make it an ideal family getaway or retreat, for a way of life in symbiosis with nature. Possibility of running a guest house. The annexes can be enhanced in convertible area. Brutus should refrain (?), the soul must endure with etiquette, ethics, and diligence of aesthetics, a whole symbol of lethargy, actually. Subsidy aid is possible for its renovation. Having and being, in short. Close to food shops and supermarkets, pharmacy, and healthcare professionals, 10 minutes away. Its geographical location is outstanding, enriched with a prized natural context, intimate and confidential. A true sanctuary of erudition combining the art of living and heritage in discretion, with an advantage of proximity to Lourmarin, a high summer location, Luberon south markets and Aix en Provence.
