Charming Property in the Heart of a Luberon Valley

Property Description

In the heart of a preserved valley of the Luberon, just minutes from Oppède le Vieux and the hamlet of Poulivets, lies a most charming property, nestled in over one hectare of lush greenery.
At the entrance, a wrought-iron gate opens onto a winding driveway lined with majestic trees. It first leads to a parking area, then continues to a carport. Further on, a wide central alley, shaded by tall trees, guides you to the main residence.
On the northern side of the grounds stands a refined stone farmhouse, carefully restored and arranged in a U-shape, forming an intimate and almost enclosed courtyard. The harmony of the proportions, the honey-colored stone, and the surrounding vegetation create an authentic and timeless atmosphere.
The central entrance opens directly into a warm living room with fireplace. To the left is an elegant dining room, while to the right a few steps lead up to a spacious equipped kitchen. This opens south onto a covered terrace, designed as a summer lounge or dining room. A guest cloakroom and Wc, as well as a shower room with laundry area, complete this level.
A discreet staircase leads upstairs, where the generous master bedroom with balcony is adjoined by a large bathroom with bath, shower and separate toilet. A second bedroom has direct access to the garden via an exterior staircase, followed by a shower room and a third bedroom, also opening onto the garden through a fine stone staircase. On the garden level of this wing, a bright study—easily converted into a bedroom with shower room—offers flexibility.
From the covered terrace, a wooden staircase leads to the former dovecote, now an intimate fourth bedroom with shower room and Wc. Its small windows frame splendid views over the valley and the Luberon hills.
Beneath the terrace, two alcoves house technical and storage areas, while a small staircase leads to a beautiful vaulted wine cellar under the kitchen. To the east, a paved stone terrace serves as a summer dining area, shaded from the mistral by a wrought-iron pergola adorned with flourishing vines.
In terms of comfort, the property benefits from mains water, a 120-metre borehole, a compliant septic system, electric heating complemented by fireplaces, an alarm system, mosquito screens and automatic gates. The use of old materials and Provençal ceilings reflects the preserved character of the house.
The largely level park flourishes in a delightful Mediterranean mosaic of olive trees, fig trees, almond trees, magnolias, pines, plane trees, oaks, cypresses, poplars, cherry trees, and even a few palms. Further on, a hedge-enclosed area reveals the swimming pool, a superb 15 x 5 metre basin with submerged beach and Roman steps. Perfectly oriented, it is complemented by a pool house with technical room.
Beyond, a large pétanque court completes this enchanting setting, offering the true Provençal art of living with sweeping views of the Luberon.
The Rosier agency in Gordes has been entrusted with the sale of this rare property, whose last three renowned owners will certainly intrigue future visitors.
