Property Description

Located on the outskirts of a hamlet near the village of Malemort-du-Comtat, the origins and foundations of the main part of this property date back to the 12th century. It has been remodeled many times over the years, notably by Monseigneur Buti and the Bishop of Inguimbert, who installed the sumptuous semicircular stone and wrought iron staircase. This renovation project now offers the opportunity to restore the central part of the residence and its garden. To the north, a vast interior courtyard provides access to vaulted cellars, a garage and storage areas. To the south, there are three large light-filled living rooms overlooking the grounds, as well as two kitchens, two bedrooms and a bathroom. The upper floors, served by the master staircase, accommodate an additional living room, six bedrooms and a bathroom. A discreet service staircase connects all the levels. The property also presents outbuildings including a house/workshop for a caretaker, a former indoor swimming pool, a workshop and a boiler room. Partly enclosed by a beautiful stone wall, the private grounds of over 2 hectares still retain the traces of the geometric shapes that once defined them. There remains a fountain, stone pillars, cobblestones, a delightful circular stone pool, a cistern and, guarded by a field of olive trees, two small square towers framing an imposing oratory. The whole invites contemplation and meditation. Steeped in prestigious history in the heart of Le Comtat Venaissin, this unique property is looking for new owners who will be appreciative of the richness of its architecture and the potential of its gardens.
