On the borders of the Luberon and the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, set on the heights above Montfuron, this prestigious bastide built in the late 18ᵗʰ century presides over a private estate of 104 hectares in a single block. Rare on the Provence luxury property market, it combines the authenticity of a residence mellowed by more than two centuries with the comfort of a restoration carried out in fine, natural materials.
Offering over 400 m² of living space, this former sheepfold opens onto a 360° panorama taking in wooded hills, the Durance valley and the line of the Alps. The accommodation unfolds over three levels: generous reception rooms with traditional exposed-beam ceilings, a Provençal stone kitchen opening onto a steel-framed garden room, and sitting rooms arranged around a monumental dressed-stone fireplace. The main house provides six light-filled bedrooms, designed to welcome family and guests in refined comfort, complemented by a fully equipped gym.
Outside, the landscaped gardens compose a succession of remarkable scenes: clipped box parterres, an antique fountain, flowering arbours, agapanthus and oleanders. The swimming pool, edged with a stone terrace and served by a pool house with a traditional pizza oven, is set within a perspective opening onto the Provençal countryside. Beyond the gardens lie meadows, wheat fields, 130 olive trees and almond trees; a working agricultural estate in its own right.
The 104 hectares lend themselves naturally to equestrian use, with scope to accommodate horses and dedicated facilities, and offer miles of riding and walking entirely within the property.
An outbuilding, a carport, a borehole, a natural spring and a full complement of contemporary equipment (home automation, fibre-optic broadband, air conditioning, alarm, video surveillance, electric vehicle charging point and automatic irrigation) ensure the estate is comfortable and secure to run.
Scope for extension remains open, a notable asset for a property of this calibre.
Energy rating C and climate rating A, south-south-easterly aspect and a complete absence of overlooking: the property combines efficiency, natural light and absolute privacy.
Manosque and its amenities are some ten minutes away, Aix-en-Provence around forty minutes via the A51, Marseille-Provence airport 55 kilometres, and the Aix-en-Provence TGV station under an hour.
This bastide will appeal to lovers of great Provençal estates, in search of a discreet art de vivre, authenticity and freedom. A rare heritage signature between the Luberon and Haute-Provence.
