Castle in Provence

Built in the early 18th century and listed as a Historic Monument, this majestic Provençal château embodies the elegance and refinement of the great aristocratic residences of its era.

Constructed between 1719 and 1720 by a prominent local noble family, the estate underwent an extensive restoration programme during the 1980s, restoring the full splendour and grandeur of its historic heritage.

Accessed via a remarkable pine-lined driveway, the château gradually reveals itself at the heart of an exceptional landscaped setting.

The estate extends over approximately 15 hectares, including 4 hectares of officially recognised “Remarkable Gardens”, creating a rare and beautifully preserved atmosphere. From the principal façade, the views extend across the formal French gardens and surrounding countryside, enhanced by an ornamental pond measuring 35 x 20 metres which elegantly reflects the architecture of the château.

Designed in a classical style, the château offers approximately 1,500 sqm of living space, defined by grand proportions and beautifully preserved period features. The central section, distinguished by a balcony supported by four columns and topped with a triangular pediment, reinforces the noble character of the property.

Inside, a spectacular entrance hall immediately conveys the scale and prestige of the residence, with impressive ceiling heights and magnificent windows flooding the interiors with natural light. The reception rooms unfold with elegance, including a grand salon of more than 60 sqm overlooking the formal gardens, a dining room centred around a monumental fireplace, and a beautifully restored music room.

Upstairs, an impressive forty-five-metre gallery runs the full length of the château and leads to the former reception bedrooms, all meticulously restored.

The formal French gardens have been recreated in accordance with original historical plans and archival documents, faithfully preserving the spirit of the estate.

Several outbuildings complete the property:

-       An orangery facing south-west with a private garden, ideally suited for private events, featuring a professional kitchen and a reception hall of approximately 200 sqm accommodating up to 150 seated guests.

-       Two independent guest houses of approximately 90 sqm and 50 sqm respectively.

-       Finally, the “Old Château”, dating back to the 15th century, is now used as a secure garage.

A truly exceptional property and a rare testament to Provence’s historic architectural heritage.
