Beautiful private domain of almost 2 hectares in the heart of Provence, in the municipality of GRANS.
You will be immediately impressed by the charm of this typical Provencal village, which safeguards its traditions with its own olive oil and flour mill. It is ideally located between ARLES and AIX en Provence, on the edge of the Parc National des ALPILLES, just 25 km from MARSEILLE airport.
A long driveway lined with trees and lavender bushes, one of three entrances to the property, leads to a magnificent Provencal property offering over 750m² of living space on almost 2 hectares of green parkland with numerous species of trees and shrubs.
This majestic country house has spacious volumes, stone floors and authenticity.
It consists of a large vestibule with on one side a double living room with billiards room and large office space, and on the other side a large living room with beautiful stone fireplace and an open kitchen with dining area and outbuildings.
A beautiful staircase leads to the second floor, where you will find a large master suite with bathroom, dressing room and private terrace, plus three further bedrooms, each with its own shower room.
On the second floor there is a cozy attic bedroom.
In the west wing there are three independent, fully equipped studios.
Just in front of the country house is a detached, completely independent house with a private terrace and a separate driveway.
The other buildings are arranged around a south/west facing cobbled courtyard which serves the various buildings and has a lovely fountain.
On the south side, the country house opens onto a large covered and sheltered patio, with an impressive walk-through summer kitchen, with the terrace on the west side and the beautiful 12x6m swimming pool on the east side, with a stream flowing past it.
There you will also find a sauna area with a private terrace for relaxing.
Adjacent to the Patio is a charming cottage, the former Pigeonnier (dovecote), with its terrace and bioclimatic pergola.
For lovers of pétanque, an indispensable Provencal pastime, there is a specially constructed court.
If you like fresh, you will love the large chicken coop and the vegetable garden and greenhouses, for the pleasure of collecting fresh eggs and growing your own vegetables.
This Provencal house with its lush garden unmistakably invites relaxation and serenity and represents the essence of the French art of living.
Nothing additional may be built, but with its 750m² of living space spread over several houses and apartments, this domain is suitable for rental.
