Set at the end of a plane-tree allée, the bastide and an adjoining stone mas form the heart of the estate. The property sits within the Alpilles massif, a protected landscape of limestone hills, olive groves, and historic villages in the south of Provence.

The main bastide opens into a large entrance hall with a grand stone staircase distributing the upper floors. The ground level includes two reception rooms with fireplaces and library areas, along with a large lounge positioned on the south-east corner of the house.

Upper floors include a primary bedroom with access to a south-east-facing terrace, along with additional bedrooms and suites arranged across the upper levels. Accommodation across the estate totals 15 bedrooms, distributed between the bastide, adjoining mas, and several independent buildings.

Adjoining the bastide, the stone mas is organized around a gravel courtyard planted with mulberry trees and centered by a stone fountain. This building includes a large fitted kitchen with central island, a dining room with stone fireplace, and additional service areas including a wine cellar, with further bedrooms located on the upper floor.

Several independent buildings extend the estate’s residential capacity. A pavilion known as Petit Bagatelle contains a living room with fireplace and games room, along with wellness facilities including a fitness room, hammam, and sauna, with guest suites on the upper floor.

Other structures include an artist’s studio facing the courtyard, a caretaker’s residence with kitchen, living room, and three bedrooms, and a converted chapel that now functions as a guest house with kitchenette, living room, mezzanine bedroom, and shower room.

Approached by a plane-tree allée, a hallmark of traditional Provençal bastide estates.
