Aix-en-Provence – A rare opportunity

Just four minutes from the historic heart of Aix-en-Provence, this exceptional 183 sqm property (Carrez law surface) is set within a 19th-century bastide, built in 1875. Perched in a dominant position, it enjoys an open view over the city, within a preserved setting where time seems to stand still. Access, entirely exclusive, is via a wrought-iron gate opening onto a driveway lined with century-old plane trees crossing the grounds, a prelude to the character that defines this property. The property sits within approximately 4,200 sqm of private grounds, a true landscaped garden planted with olive trees and carefully selected Mediterranean species, irrigated with water from the Canal de Provence. The 100 sqm terrace, offering an open view over the Étoile mountain range, opens onto this green setting, where a swimming pool (4 x 11.5 m) and a fully fitted pool house form a generous and exclusive outdoor space, a natural extension of the reception rooms. Somewhere between a prestige flat and a manor house, this property captivates with its generous proportions, its extensive private garden (a rarity so close to the city centre), and its strong sense of identity. The garden level is arranged around the terrace. It comprises a reception room of approximately 32 sqm with fireplace, a fully fitted kitchen, a dining room, a utility area and a guest WC. The upper floor is entirely dedicated to the sleeping quarters. The principal suite, of more than 50 sqm, benefits from a fireplace, a dressing room and a private shower room, together with a peaceful view over the grounds. Two further south-facing bedrooms, a study which could serve as a fourth bedroom, a bathroom, a second shower room and a separate WC complete this floor. Features include underfloor heating, double-glazed windows, an automatic irrigation system fed by the Canal de Provence, several garden sheds, and extensive private parking areas. A confidential and rare property, where period charm meets quality specifications, in immediate proximity to the city centre, with easy access to schools (IBS, La Nativité), major road routes and Aix-en-Provence train station. 15-unit co-ownership.
