Located in the heart of Provence near the village of Cabrières-d’Avignon, this part of the Luberon is defined by open land and long views rather than tightly clustered hilltop villages. A short drive from Gordes and Ménerbes, the area has a more pastoral character shaped by vineyards, orchards, and working countryside rather than seasonal tourism.

Here, an authentic 19th-century mas set within nearly 6 acres of grounds—with a swimming pool, a barn, and an adjoining farmhouse with approved planning permission—is on the market with Emile Garcin, priced at €2,750,000.

Approached via a cypress- and olive-lined drive, arrival is deliberately understated, with discreet parking before the estate becomes pedestrian-only. A gated entrance opens onto an internal courtyard centred around a traditional Provençal fountain. The architecture reads less as a rugged farmhouse and more as a settled Provençal residence—formal without being grand, softened by symmetry, pale stone façades, and the sense of a house that has evolved for living rather than display.

In Provençal terms, a mas differs from a simple farmhouse in both intent and composition. Traditionally conceived as a permanent rural residence rather than a purely working building, a mas was designed to anchor family life across generations. This distinction is evident here in the scale of the house, the organisation around a central courtyard, and the way agricultural elements have been absorbed into a cohesive residential estate rather than remaining purely utilitarian.

The current owners have fully renovated the property with restraint, preserving period materials while integrating modern infrastructure suited to year-round use. The six-bedroom house unfolds across approximately 360 m² (3,875 sq ft), with a large, functional kitchen designed for daily life rather than entertaining alone, and a sequence of reception rooms anchored by a Luberon stone fireplace.

Covered and shaded terraces extend the interiors toward the pool and garden, reinforcing the indoor–outdoor rhythm that defines life in this part of Provence. A separate pool house, fully equipped to host friends or family, sits slightly apart from the main residence, allowing guests a degree of independence. A pétanque court is tucked further into the Mediterranean grounds, which open onto long views across the surrounding countryside toward the Luberon ridgelines.

In addition to the restored mas, the estate includes a barn and an adjoining farmhouse with approved planning permission for more than 220 m² (approximately 2,370 sq ft) of additional space. The authorization allows for either an expanded reception wing or a discreet, independent caretaker’s house—an increasingly uncommon option in a landscape where development is tightly regulated.

Cabrières-d’Avignon offers a quieter residential alternative to neighbouring hilltop villages while remaining closely connected to the Golden Triangle’s daily life. Gordes and Ménerbes are minutes away for markets and dining, Avignon’s TGV station is within easy reach, and Marseille–Provence International Airport sits just under an hour away.

For those who move regularly between cities and seasons, it is this balance—space, access, and a landscape that still feels worked and lived in—that continues to define the area’s appeal.
