Exceptional Luberon estate with tennis court and formal gardens.
Rising tall above the lavender fields and formal grounds that surround it, this striking Bastide occupies one of the most privileged positions the Luberon valley has to offer, in the heart of Bonnieux, a commune renowned for its Michelin-starred restaurants and easy pace of life. Set above the valley, the property enjoys sweeping views of the Luberon and the perched villages, grape vines and rolling hills that define it. A cypress-lined drive winds up through the grounds to the house, building an impressive sense of arrival, while the property itself was entirely remodelled in 2013 – a masterfully executed project, carried out with great care and precision.

Grounds & AmenitiesThe Bastide is arranged around a stone-flagged courtyard, with large terraces and formal gardens extending out towards unobstructed views of the Luberon valley. Layered lawns and formal English gardens unfold from the main façade, linked by handsome stone steps that serve each level – a thoughtful balance of landscaping and functional outdoor living, from seating terraces shaded from the summer sun to dining terraces made for large gatherings. Throughout the gardens, the Luberon valley, the property's lavender fields and private oak woodland form a striking backdrop, each area offering its own perspective on the countryside. Beyond this, the 18m x 7m heated swimming pool enjoys a large covered terrace and adjoining pool house with shower room, offering a welcome escape from the heat, while the grounds also accommodate a producing truffle orchard, a synthetic tennis court, cutting garden and vegetable gardens.
Amenities include: high-speed Fibre and Starlink internet; ducted air conditioning in all bedrooms; underfloor heating and cooling throughout; sound system throughout the Bastide and the gardens; sophisticated alarm system; Canal de Provence for garden watering; mains water for the house.
Rarely does a property offer such a complete expression of Provençal living - the scale and pedigree of the Bastide itself, matched by grounds and amenities suited to family life, entertaining and quiet retreat in equal measure.
