Magnificent 18th century Provencal Mas; large shady courtyard under 300yr old Plane tree, swimming pool, summer dining room and beautiful gardens with lavender field.
This splendid old property is nestled in the Luberon between some of the most beautiful villages of France, Bonnieux and Roussillon, and very close to Goult, Lacoste, Gordes, Menerbes and Isle Sur La Sorgue. The Mas boasts 350 m² of living space; full of character and beautiful decor, surrounded by 5 acres of private land.
The entire property has been superbly renovated and re decorated with style and high quality materials while keeping most of the original features. It has one adjoining wall with an old Mas next door but both properties have entirely independent entrances and no views over each other.
There are 6 charming bedrooms all with ensuite bath/shower rooms, king size beds, queen size and singles. All have pretty views over the gardens, pool and courtyard. Two bedrooms are in the cottage annexe suite, accessed via a separate entrance from the courtyard and perfect for a small family or older guests.
