Provence-Alps-Cote d`Azur, Bouches-du-Rhône, Aix-en-Provence, France

An exceptional estate in the heart of the Provence countryside.

In a tranquil setting with far-reaching views of Mont Sainte-Victoire, this rare Bastide is approached via a tree-lined drive and looks out over its own olive groves.

Extending to some 25 hectares, with extensive landscaped gardens and grounds, the property is hidden away down quiet country lanes in an incredibly peaceful setting, yet only 10km north of Aix-en-Provence, 35 km from Marseille airport and a short drive from the world-renowned Château La Coste.

The iconic, quiet and romantic surrounding countryside is full of vineyards, fields of lavender, ancient olive groves and pretty local villages brimming with quaint café's, vibrant farmers markets and wonderful restaurants.

The houses and gardens were designed by Bruno and Dominique Lafourcade and offer the perfect balance of classic Provençal charm and modern luxury. The magnificent main residence offers 600 sq m of living space and comprises a generous entrance hall, several spacious reception areas, as well as a beautifully designed country kitchen. There are six bedroom suites, all with en suite bathrooms, including the bright double aspect principal suite. Terraces at either end of the house provide outdoor dining and living spaces, all enjoying far reaching views.

Adjacent to the main residence is a private 2-bedroom guest house, offering additional, comfortable accommodation for guests, and behind the Bastide is a guardian's house for staff accommodation.

The main house includes a heated swimming pool with a beautiful pool house, a tennis court and a vegetable garden. This is also a separate home office/studio and gym.

In significant addition to the principal property, located on the outskirts of the estate and set within its own beautifully landscaped gardens is the idyllic Le Bastidon. An exquisite and spacious, very private guest house with 239 sq m of living space, comprising generous reception rooms, four en suite bedrooms, a further private swimming pool, a covered dining terrace and an outdoor kitchen.
