Price on application
Set in the heart of a well-tended garden bordered by hundred-year-old olive groves and cypress trees, the recently renovated terracotta-hued, powder-blue-shuttered 11-bedroom villa and estate is a contemporary take on refined Provençal country living.
A former hunting lodge easily sleeping 30 with plenty of room for extra visiting family and friends, the bones here are time-worn and deliciously warped and rustic with exposed, rugged beams carrying the weight of its long history.
In a brave and bold departure from traditional Provençal interiors, the bastide has been brought back to date with contemporary art and design pieces, rooms dressed in an eclectic style in what can best be described as a marriage of the ultra-contemporary with farmhouse-meets-renaissance-meets-bohemia.
The holiday home offers a substantial footprint of approximately 1,385 sq m of living space and more than 600 sq m of outbuildings including cubic volumes of a beautiful event space that can be put to many uses including stunning wedding venue or retreat.
The main bastide is composed of a contemporary open kitchen and living room, a dining room, a library, two offices and two other living rooms. It has eight bedrooms, two of which are on the ground floor, seven bathrooms and one shower room.
The independent mas has a kitchen with living room, three bedrooms and 2 bathrooms with an additional outbuildings arranged around the pool and the garden.
The other outbuildings are mainly composed of garage of about 150 sqm, workplaces, and sheds. There is a heated swimming pool lined by sun loungers and numerous chill-out and dining areas where guests can enjoy views of the wonderful grounds or have lunch al-fresco at a different spot each day.
Should new owners wish to explore the option of putting the property to work and making additional incomes, there is plenty to work with here. It's a great place from which to host events such as weddings and summer parties, with a huge reception room of approximately 300 sq m, several outdoor areas and parking spaces alongside guest accommodation.
L'Isle sur la Sorgue sits 25km southeast of Avignon at the foot of the Vaucluse plateau with numerous canals and branches of the Sorgue that have given the town the nickname the 'Venice of the Comtat'.
The area is extremely well-connected with the nearest major transport links, including the Eurostar, in Avignon.
