Puyloubier architect house

Sole Agency – Puyloubier, at the foot of Mont Sainte‑Victoire.

Set amidst the iconic landscapes surrounding Mont Sainte‑Victoire, Puyloubier is one of the most unspoilt villages to the east of Aix‑en‑Provence. Surrounded by vineyards, olive groves and pine forests, it offers an authentic Provençal lifestyle in an environment of remarkable natural beauty. Dominated by the celebrated mountain immortalised by Cézanne, the village is prized for its tranquillity, exceptional light and easy access to Aix‑en‑Provence, reached in just twenty minutes.

Occupying a commanding position within this outstanding setting, the property was designed in 1972 by architect M. Massot and represents a striking example of 1970s architecture inspired by the principles of organic modernism.

From the moment of arrival, the scale of the interiors is immediately apparent. Extending to approximately 400 sq m of living space, the house is organised around a central core that naturally guides circulation and creates a constant dialogue between the interior rooms and the surrounding terraces. Abundant natural light, flowing perspectives and a thoughtful integration into the landscape reflect an architectural approach in which quality of life becomes the true design intention.

The accommodation includes six bedrooms, a flat roof terrace, a garage, an artist’s studio, several ancillary structures and two swimming pools, including a spectacular 17 x 8 metre pool. A tennis court enjoying uninterrupted views towards Sainte‑Victoire further enhances this distinctive estate, which is as remarkable for its setting as it is for the strength of its architectural identity.

All around, the vineyards of the Sainte‑Victoire appellation (AOC Côtes de Provence) are cultivated organically, contributing to the peaceful and inspiring atmosphere that makes this area particularly sought after.

What we love: the elevated position, the organic architecture, the uninterrupted Sainte‑Victoire views, the preserved atmosphere and the absolute tranquillity.
