Historic 37-acre Goult estate in a peaceful countryside setting.
Set in the open countryside just minutes from the village of Goult, this renaissance bastide - with origins dating back to 1442 - is among the most historically significant estates the Luberon has to offer. Once a working wine estate and former residence of royal glassmakers operating under patent from King René, it has been carefully restored to an exceptional standard, preserving its architectural heritage while introducing every contemporary comfort. Tasteful landscaping, natural materials and refined detailing throughout reflect an understated elegance that is entirely in keeping with the property's character. Private, peaceful, and rich in history, this is a remarkable address in the heart of the Luberon.
The property sits on 37 acres of private grounds, and features a magnificent bastide, an independent guest house, a separate caretaker's house, an independent suite and a garage.
Bastide
The accommodation comprises, on the ground floor: entrance hall with decorative cement tile flooring and oversized wrought-iron doors; Provençal kitchen with central island and direct access to the herb garden; formal dining room; sitting room with handsome stone fireplace; petit salon; guest WC. The living spaces all open out to the main dining terrace, shaded by the plane tree and with views looking out onto the Luberon mountains.
A self-contained ground floor suite boasts an exquisite bathroom with green mosaic tiling, floor-to-ceiling windows, bathtub and double vanity, with steps rising to the bedroom above. A dedicated wellness room with sauna and massage table completes the ground floor. Below the bastide, a vast 70m2 cellar with double-height ceilings retains the original stone wine vats from the estate's winemaking years - an attractive space, ideal as a wine cellar and tasting room, home cinema, or gym.
The first floor is arranged across two wings. The first wing comprises: two spacious suites, each with a private sitting room, double bedroom and shower room. The second wing is composed of: principal suite with dressing room and bathroom; suite with bathroom; office (currently used as a children's bedroom); linen cupboard; guest WC.
Guest House
A separate guest house provides two further suites. The ground floor offers a double bedroom and adjoining bathroom with walk-in shower. The first floor, more intimate in character and lined with 'oeil de boeuf' windows, enjoys a beautifully appointed wet room.
Caretaker's House
Set discreetly to one side of the bastide, the caretaker's house comprises: living space with fully equipped kitchen, Lacanche range and wood-burning stove; two double bedrooms; shower room; separate WC.
Gardens & Grounds
Immediately surrounding the bastide, beautifully landscaped gardens give way to 37 acres of private woodland, meadows, farmland and a private hill commanding far-reaching views over the valley - an extraordinary expanse of unspoilt Provençal countryside, entirely one's own. The main terrace provides a gorgeous setting for outdoor entertaining, with the Luberon mountains forming a superb natural backdrop. A second seating terrace below, dappled with light through the canopy, offers the perfect spot for an evening aperitif. The heated swimming pool (15m x 5m), fitted with an electric cover, is set out of sight, yet within easy reach.
Amenities include: central heating; reversible air conditioning in the bedrooms; mains water; Canal de Provence irrigation; fibre-optic internet.
With exceptional rental potential and a sense of history felt in every stone, this is a rare and privileged address - Provençal 'l'Art de Vivre' at its finest.
