Exceptional Estate in Provence – 5.5 hectares, vineyard views, rare potential
Just minutes from the village of Figanières, in a preserved and private setting, this 5.5-hectare estate offers a rare immersion into the heart of authentic Provence, bathed in light and opening onto surrounding vineyards.
From the moment you arrive, the property conveys a sense of space and serenity. Time seems to slow down here, between unspoiled nature, open views and the gentle Provençal way of life, all while remaining close to local amenities and main access routes.
The property offers over 500 sqm of living space and is centered around a distinctive bastide with generous volumes, complemented by several independent areas designed to combine both privacy and fluidity. Two gîtes, a guest room, a traditional mazet, a workshop and a caretaker’s house complete the ensemble, offering great flexibility whether for private use or hospitality purposes.
The property also carries a refined historical touch. In the 1970s, it belonged to the Gaveau family, descendants of the renowned French piano makers Gaveau. At the time, the main living room hosted private piano concerts on a dedicated stage, which has since been removed to create the current living space. The charming mazet, meanwhile, already appears on the Napoleonic cadastral map of 1837, reflecting the long-standing heritage of the estate.
Several areas can be reimagined or reorganized according to individual needs, with the possibility to further enhance the accommodation capacity or create additional bedrooms. The overall quality of the property, its volumes and existing features is already well established, allowing for these evolutions to be carried out naturally, without compromising the current structure. This flexibility represents a real asset for a buyer wishing to personalize or further develop the existing potential.
Outdoors, the estate reveals an exceptional landscaped Mediterranean park, carefully designed and enriched with subtle island-inspired touches, reflecting the owners’ lifestyle. This unique atmosphere gives the property an almost timeless character, blending natural elegance with a gentle sense of escape. Shaded terraces under plane mulberry trees invite you to fully enjoy the climate, while the heated swimming pool integrates harmoniously into this green setting.
The presence of an independent caretaker’s house allows for easy on-site management, staff accommodation or a well-structured hosting organization, further enhancing the coherence of the property for both residential and professional use.
Beyond the quality of life it offers, this property presents a particularly attractive potential for high-end activity. The current layout already allows for the operation of gîtes and guest rooms, while the setting naturally lends itself to intimate events, retreats, weddings or private gatherings centered around the Provençal lifestyle. Opportunities for further development or extension with a touristic vocation may also be considered, subject to the necessary approvals, strengthening the property’s appeal from an investment perspective.
The location is ideal, with quick access to the A8 motorway, a nearby TGV station, and international airports in Nice and Marseille within easy reach, offering a perfect balance between accessibility and total privacy.
This estate is more than just a property. It is designed for those seeking an inspiring place to live, capable of supporting a project, a vision, or simply a new way of experiencing Provence.

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.
