18th Century Estate in a very private setting

  • Historical property
  • 3 separate houses
  • 3.68 hectares of land
  • Private and peaceful location
  • Original features
  • Large kitchen High ceilings
At the heart of this pre-Napoleonic ensemble of buildings lies an impressive and substantial main home with an elegant slim turreted roofline and grand tall, original windows giving the impression of being much bigger than it actually is.

The high ceilings of the entrance hall are mirrored on both the ground and the first floors.
One wing of the ground floor enjoys an impressive dining room with an open fireplace and original stone detailing and a huge kitchen occupying the full end of the building with two large marble islands and modern appliances. The kitchen is a perfect marriage of modern eclectic and traditional pieces such as the Italian chandeliers that characterise so much of this property. On the other side are an elegant reception room, salon and library.

Upstairs the 5 bedrooms are spacious with views over either the Black mountains to one side or the mature Mediterranean garden to the other. The master bedroom is vast, spanning the width of the house with two separate bathrooms and a large dressing room adjoining it.

All the rooms are well proportioned and eye-catching. The house has 4 separate working original fireplaces but there is also central heating throughout provided by an efficient air-pump system but utilising handsome original cast-iron radiators in keeping with the property.
The floors are either the original tiles or beautiful original herringbone parquet.

In front of the main house, flanking it either side are two solid stone garrison-like buildings which in previous times have been used as workman's cottages when this place was a farm or vineyard. One currently is used to host magical dinner parties, the other needs developing.

On the grounds are the following properties -

Two large, attractive 3 bedroom stone houses which could serve as a friends and family place or gites. Possible gite business (subject to necessary permissions)

There is also an artist’s studio, further storage units, a large greenhouse and a tiny chapel!

The grounds have century old trees, including Lebanese cyprus trees (popular with the Knights Templar), a manicured lawn with a curve that hints at the old roman wall on which it is terraced and a koi carp pond.

The property also has a swimming pool, some wild land and the whole 3.6 hectares of land are surrounded by trees making it completely invisible to even the odd car passing in the distance on what is a quiet, country road to the local village.

If you are passionate about unique properties, wanting a family home that is big enough for friends and to entertain, or wanting a property that could bring in an income - this place is a must-see. Talk to us for more details

Discuss an Offer

If this or other properties are of potential serious interest, you may wish to speak in confidence and without obligation or commitment with a sympathetic senior negotiator to discuss what flexibility there may be in the price.

Getting the right deal can be a question of good timing and we have that information.

Whatever you read in the press, it is simply not true that one can apply a percentage discount to the price of any property we like the look of. And it is a real shame to fall in love with a property that is beyond what you wish to spend or can afford.

To arrange a callback, please email in-confidence@beauxvillages.com
