Two Provence farmhouses with outbuildings overlooking a valley and lavender fields, on a vast, almost 60-hectare estate in the Vaucluse area, to the east of the Mont Ventoux. The region in which the property is situated is probably one of Provence’s wildest areas still in existence: comprised of high plateaux dotted with scarcely half a dozen villages, which are often sparsely populated fortified settlements, these Virgilian landscapes have retained their natural and agricultural character of yesteryear. The area, located between the southern part of the Drôme and the Vaucluse, has for several decades enjoyed enhanced protection thanks to the creation of two large regional natural parks, namely the Mont Ventoux and the Luberon.
The property emerges into view at the bend of a cypress-lined driveway. To the north, lavender fields give way to a view of the forest and surrounding mountains. At the entrance, there is a first group of buildings including one of the farmhouses and an outbuilding, both facing east towards the valley.
700 metres further along a picturesque track that runs alongside the edge of the forest with a panoramic view of the valley, there is a second group of buildings, made up of the main farmhouse with its two annexes, standing firm on a mound facing south, away from any disturbance thanks to its secluded location, surrounded by lavender fields.
The traditional architecture, which has preserved its authenticity, made up of pointed stone and half-round tiles, is present in all the buildings, which date back to before the late 17th century. This provides the property with harmonious forms as well as materials and colours that are typical of Provence country dwellings.
