Sole Agent. « La Bastide Neuve » is located in the Verdon Regional Nature Park, 2 km from picturesque Saint Julien le Montagnier, a 45-minute drive from Aix, 50 minutes from the TGV station, and 25 minutes from Manosque. With records mentioning occupation of the site dating back to Roman times, this former “Commanderie Templière » extended in the 18th century was renovated throughout by an interior decorator in the year 2000 and today comprises spacious living and reception rooms, eight bedrooms, five bathrooms, and a convertible 120 sqm attic. The grounds feature a spring, a well, an olive grove, truffle oaks, 4 hectares of vineyard, a floodlit tennis court and a heated swimming pool. They also include 26 hectares of fields, 21 hectares of which are cultivated with two leases, one of which will soon terminate. About 400 sqm of living space includes a vestibule featuring a Templar Cross, vaulted living rooms and a dining room boasting its original fireplace, a kitchen, a library/sitting room and a further little room. The walls are up to 1.50 metres thick. The ground floor leads to a spacious vaulted room opening onto an inner courtyard, a summer kitchen as well as a converted former vaulted sheepfold leading to a 13.50 x 5.50 metre swimming pool. Three staircases access the upper floor which was added in the 18th century and which comprises eight bedrooms and five bathrooms. U-shaped outbuildings are set around the 300 sqm inner courtyard featuring a stone porch, as well as an original bread oven in perfect working order. In the shade of a lime and an Indian bean tree, the courtyard is planted with fig trees and rose bushes and benefits from automatic sprinkling. The façade of the main house and the walled pool are also floodlit. Two timber cabins on stilts joined by a footbridge comprise four further bedrooms, and two shower rooms with composting toilets. The property also benefits from a tennis court and a boules pitch. Provence par excellence…

Renovated “bourgeois” townhouse with garden and swimming pool.

Nestled in the very heart of Apt's town centre, yet discreetly set back from the bustle of the market square, this property enjoys a location that is both central and peaceful. This stunning residence makes an immediate impression with its well-preserved character and distinctive personality, while its two independent entrances - one opening onto the courtyard, the other onto the garden - ensure a calm and sheltered environment. Built across three floors, with generous cellar space, the property spans over approximately 350m2 and offers remarkable, spacious volumes complemented by exceptional ceiling heights. The authentic character of this grand townhouse has been carefully preserved through a meticulous renovation completed in 2023. Immaculate “façades”, a variety of decorative flooring giving each room its own identity, along with numerous period fireplaces and cast-iron radiators, all contribute to the property's timeless charm. On the ground floor, the property comprises: small TV room with a decorative fireplace; study; sitting/dining room of approximately 65m2, also featuring an ornate fireplace; kitchen; separate WC. Steps lead down to the property's spacious vaulted wine cellars and storage spaces. The first floor is composed of: principal suite fitted with both a bath and a shower, and a separate WC, and boasting a private terrace of approximately 45m2 overlooking the garden; two additional double bedrooms; shower room. The second floor accommodates a self-contained apartment, comprising: sitting room with integrated kitchen and antique fireplace; two double bedrooms; bathroom with bathtub and WC. Outside, the front courtyard provides an impressive main entrance, complemented by a south-facing landscaped garden where a heated 11m x 3m swimming pool takes centre stage - a superb commodity in the heart of the town centre. A terrace stretching the full length of the house seamlessly connects indoor and outdoor living, with a small outbuilding tucked further back serving as a technical room. A secondary entrance leads to a garage space (usable, but in need of renovation) located at the far end of the garden. Amenities include: mains water and mains drainage; central heating with a gas condensation boiler; wood-framed double glazing; heated 11m x 3m swimming pool; basements housing the boiler room, wine cellar and storage; garage for 1 to 2 cars, plus two private on-street parking spaces; fibre-optic internet. This exceptional property offers a particularly sought-after balance between privacy and vibrant town life. Just a short walk from Apt's famous weekly market, shops and restaurants, it occupies a prime position in the heart of the Luberon, between the Petit and Grand Luberon ranges and close to the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence. __________Information on the risks to which this property is exposed is available on the Géorisques website: payable by the seller
