Provence Home, the Luberon real estate agency, is offering for sale a rare property: a 16th-century dry stone shepherd’s cottage, nestled in an unparalleled natural setting of 2.8 hectares in the heart of nature, in Saumane-de-Vaucluse, just 15 minutes from L’Isle-sur-la-Sorgue.
The property operates in complete autonomy, using renewable energy sources such as solar panels to produce electricity, along with a rainwater recovery and filtration system with two storage tanks offering a total capacity of 80,000 litres.
This unique and incomparable retreat is accessed via approximately 10 minutes of preserved forest tracks, ensuring privacy and tranquillity. Once beyond the tracks, it takes just 5 minutes to reach L’Isle-sur-la-Sorgue, making a total journey time of around 15 minutes to the “Venice of the Comtat”.
SURROUNDINGS OF THE PROPERTY
Nestled in absolute peace and quiet, the shepherd’s cottage enjoys an exceptional natural environment in the heart of the Monts de Vaucluse. Nature lovers will be enchanted by the hiking trails accessible directly from the property, offering escapes through garrigue, forests and Provençal panoramas. In this setting of complete serenity, every walk becomes an immersion in a preserved landscape, filled with the scents of wild thyme and lavender, where authenticity and calm reign.
EXTERIORS OF THE PROPERTY
Set within 2.8 hectares of preserved land, this authentic shepherd’s cottage is surrounded by multiple terraces opening onto spectacular views stretching as far as the Fontaine-de-Vaucluse valley, with the Luberon as a backdrop.
The 6 × 12 m infinity swimming pool, a true suspended balcony facing nature, blends harmoniously into this unique environment and invites relaxation and contemplation. Hiking paths, countryside walks and Provençal fragrances complete this idyllic setting.
INTERIORS OF THE HOUSE
With approx. 350 sqm of usable floor space, this exceptional residence offers generous volumes enhanced by ancient materials. The heart of the house is structured around three main interconnected rooms, each inviting conviviality and the Provençal art of living. The majestic living room, bathed in natural light, impresses with its high ceilings, while the kitchen charms with its timeless character and warm atmosphere. The vaulted dining room completes this trio perfectly, providing a unique setting for meals and shared moments.
The sleeping area, designed for comfort and privacy, comprises five en-suite bedrooms, each with its own bathroom or shower room, creating a true haven of rest for occupants and guests.
Two stone bories integrate authentically into the property, enhancing the overall charm of the buildings. Every space is a discovery and a delight.
