Property Details

This spacious 19th century farmhouse has been beautifully renovated and has lots of charm. It stands in 4700m² of grounds on the hills to the north of Aix-en-Provence. It is in a rural location, but not isolated as there are other villas dotted around in the trees, and has attractive views towards the hills. There is a large terrace around the house facing south-east and west, and a superb 300m² terrace for sunbathing by the pool. The owners have recently built a very attractive pool house which has a summer kitchen with fridge, sink, barbecue, pizza oven and dining area. The garden has shady spots for outdoor meals under the trees, and a large fish pond and a fountain (small children will need supervision). There is lots of garden furniture, a boules pitch and parking for 4 cars. The house has been restored using attractive Provençal materials and has exposed beams and beautiful tiles. The interior is immaculate and has been furnished with taste and imagination.
