A living, rare and inspiring property for agricultural, hospitality or eco-tourism ventures

Nestled in the heart of Provence, this 17th-century bastide — a listed historical building — is a timeless sanctuary that blends architectural elegance with entrepreneurial potential and deep connection to nature.

The estate spans 12 hectares of rich, varied land: meadows, forest, cultivated areas, and a flourishing olive grove. It offers a compelling setting for visionary individuals looking to build differently — whether an ecolodge, guesthouse, country bistro, regenerative farm, retreat center, or collective living space.

The main bastide, with approx. 505 m² of living space, is currently divided into four independent apartments — three fully functional, one to be completed. Each has its own character, showcasing historic features (1720 oil press, stone ovens, terracotta floors, exposed beams) combined with modern comforts such as wood-burning stoves and heat pumps. The layouts are generous, with terraces, natural light, and views across the landscape.

Additional areas remain to be developed: attics, communal rooms, outbuildings, cellars, and a hangar — forming a flexible framework for permanent residents, guests, or collaborators in a shared or multigenerational vision.

The land itself is divided into 6 hectares of cultivated terrain — including a vegetable garden, saffron patch, and 250-tree olive grove — and 6 hectares of forest. Abundant water is provided by a high-yield borehole and nine wells. The estate also includes a solar panel installation and a partially shaded parking area.

Although not currently used for horses, the property is fully equipped with fenced paddocks, two large wooden stalls, and a preparation and washing area — ready for equestrian or animal-based activities. Three resident donkeys, however, are deeply bonded to the place and are part of its living soul. They are not to be moved, and their presence is both symbolic and central to the spirit of the domain.

Two charming wooden cabins with verandas, composting toilets, wood stoves, and private showers provide simple, comfortable accommodation for guests, volunteers or visiting partners.

This is not just an exceptional property — it's a place of vision. Every stone, tree, and breeze speaks of a future rooted in nature and meaning. Whether your project involves cultivating, hosting, healing, learning, or simply living differently, this Provençal bastide is ready to welcome and support your next chapter.

Discuss an Offer

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.
