Map & Owner's Profile
Villa with Stunning View and Private Pool
Year Purchased: 1994
Why the Owner Chose Goult
We spent 2 years working in Marseille in the early 1980s, and a friend introduced us to the "hidden valley" of the Luberon. We just kept going back every summer after we returned to England, and decided we had to own a little part of it for ourselves. We love the views, the endless sunshine (over 300 days per year) and the pretty hill villages scattered round the valley. It is easy access from the A7 motorway, and within an hour drive from Marseille airport, 40 minutes from TGV at Avignon
The Unique Benefits at this House (One Floor)
Step out of the front door every morning and see the constantly changing pattern of light as the rising sun makes a moving pattern of shadows on the ridges and gullies of the mountain ridge across the valley. The garden has a secluded private pool, and stunning uninterrupted views across the valley. Enjoy the setting sun on the terrace by the pool, and eat dinner outside, cooked on our large fixed BBQ.
Within 5 minutes walk there is a baker, general stores, 3 restaurants, and a cafe-bar. Wine lovers can find excellent value and quality a short drive from home. Street markets selling local produce within easy reach every day.
Tennis courts 3 minutes walk, cycle hire close by, and quiet back roads for running a 3 mile/5km route around the village if you have the energy!
Owner's Map of Goult
Anne and Colin have been in love with Provence for 30 years. We have spent all our family holidays getting to know the region and its people. Now our 3 grown up children (and grand daughter) still want to spend time with us in Goult, and share the relaxing atmosphere of the Luberon.
Colin is a surgeon, Anne has always worked in education. We can unwind completely on our holidays in Goult, sinking into a leisurely holiday rhythm, and soaking up the sunshine.
