Description
This magnificent country house is certainly one of the most beautiful estates in Provence, ideally located 20 minutes north of Aix en Provence. A former wine and silkworm farm, the country house is still surrounded by vineyards and vast meadows. On a wonderfully landscaped 9.5 hectare park, the main building rises 2 floors on the ground floor and has 2 wings. There are more than 20 main rooms, including a hall of honor that can accommodate nearly 180 guests for weddings or events, and several charming guest rooms. There is also a very pretty pavilion facing the swimming pool, a one-story farmhouse with 3 bedrooms, garages and various rural and recreational outbuildings. Outside, in a green park of more than 9.5 ha, central trees (lime trees, ash trees, oaks and chestnut trees) provide shade and freshness. The park features numerous fountains decorated with monumental statues listed as historic monuments that provide abundant water to the estate's pools. The main pool, of exceptional size (90m long), is protected by a majestic statue of Neptune perfectly aligned with the perspective of the building. A pool at the entrance to the property, below the swimming pool, wonderfully adorns the entrance to the estate. And a third pool, at the edge of an avenue of century-old plane trees, is topped with a sublime statue. A very beautiful swimming pool, above the pool at the entrance, offers a welcoming and warm space, with a pool house, a vast terrace, and a pétanque court. The property has several fully tiled cellars, the largest of which is now accessible from the main hall. The ribbed vaults bear witness to a very productive past. The square pavilion with a 4-slope roof is an old hayloft housing a bread oven in its original state, allowing bread to be baked for all employees and occupants of the Estate. An estate that will seduce you with its elegance, authenticity, and character. An ideal place for events, weddings, receptions or professional events. A place that is unique and exceptional.
