For buyers looking beyond the region’s more familiar country-house markets, this Essonne property makes a clear case for the quieter side of Île-de-France. Less than an hour south of Paris, it pairs a renovated five-bedroom house with an indoor swimming pool, and just over eight acres of leafy grounds.

Set above the Côtes du Rhône vineyards, the nearly 10-hectare estate combines a fortified medieval core with hospitality infrastructure and approved expansion potential.

Of the 12 hectares, approximately 4 hectares (9.88 acres) are planted with lavender currently in production. The remaining land ~20 acres is open meadow and wooded areas. The setting is quiet and private, yet within a short drive of one of the region’s lesser-known perched villages.

Set in the Burgundy countryside near the village of Vézelay, this French manor estate extends across 17 acres of parkland within a quiet, historic pocket of the region.

Located about five minutes from the historic town, the 5-bedroom residence sits on a south-facing hillside overlooking the surrounding countryside and offers approximately 400 m² (4,306 ft²) of living space.

Near Saint-Rémy-de-Provence in the Alpilles, the restored estate includes multiple residences, landscaped gardens, and a wellness pavilion with hammam and sauna.

This quieter stretch of the Luberon trades dense hilltop villages for open land and long rural views. Set just beyond Gordes and Ménerbes, the restored 19th-century mas spans nearly six acres, with a pool and secondary buildings.

A large-scale 18th-century wine estate in the South Luberon comes to market as a full restoration project, combining working vineyards, historic architecture, and rare land holdings within reach of Aix-en-Provence.

Just outside Aix-en-Provence, the 60-acre Provençal estate has been transformed from a former farmhouse into a classical bastide by Lafourcade Architects, the family atelier regarded as one of France’s foremost authorities on Provençal restoration.
