Overview
Nestled within the sun-drenched embrace of Provence’s rolling hills, where the scent of lavender lingers on the warm breeze and the golden light of the Luberon paints the sky in hues of amber and rose, *Maison Dumon* emerges—a sanctuary of contemporary elegance, seamlessly woven into the timeless tapestry of the countryside. Here, just three minutes from the charming heart of Apt, where cobblestone streets whisper of markets brimming with truffles and summer peaches, a rare alchemy unfolds: the soul of Provence meets the refined precision of modern design.
Step through the wrought-iron gate, where an electric hum signals your arrival, and into a world where nature and architecture dance in perfect harmony. The garden, a sprawling 3,300-square-meter canvas of manicured lawns and Mediterranean flora, unfolds before you like a living painting. A heated pool glistens under the Provençal sun, its surface a mirror to the azure sky, while a bioclimatic pergola casts dappled shade across the terrace—an invitation to linger over rosé at noon or stargaze as cicadas serenade the twilight.

Inside, the house reveals itself as a symphony of light and space. Floor-to-ceiling windows dissolve the boundaries between indoors and out, bathing the 100-square-meter living room in a radiant glow. Here, a suspended fireplace—sleek, sculptural—anchors the space, its flames flickering against the cool marble and warm oak, while automated blinds glide silently at your command, orchestrated by a home automation system that anticipates your every desire. The kitchen, a masterpiece of functionality and beauty, unfolds beneath a glass roof that floods the space with sunlight, its back kitchen whispering of effortless entertaining, with direct access to the garage for seamless living.
Retreat to the ground-floor master suite, where a private terrace beckons with the promise of morning coffee amid the birdsong. The dressing room, a sanctuary of polished wood and soft lighting, cradles your most treasured pieces, while the bathroom—spacious, serene—offers a respite in marble and steam. Above, the L-shaped mezzanine unfurls like the spine of a book, its custom library filled with the quiet rustle of pages turning. Three generous bedrooms await—two sharing a terrace where the scent of jasmine drifts on the evening air, and one with its own private perch, each a haven of restful luxury. A second bathroom, clad in stone and glass, completes this upper realm, designed for family, for guests, for the laughter of shared moments.

Beneath it all lies the basement, a blank canvas of possibility—envision a cinema room where French New Wave films flicker against the walls, a wellness spa with a sauna’s gentle heat, or a workshop where creativity takes flight. The house itself breathes with intelligence: solar panels drink in the sun’s bounty, aerothermal heating warms the floors beneath your feet, and every system hums in quiet efficiency, a testament to thoughtful, sustainable luxury.
This is more than a home; it is a lifestyle curated for those who seek the extraordinary. Here, in the cradle of Provence, where the air is sweet with thyme and the light is liquid gold, *Maison Dumon* stands as a modern-day château—a place where every detail has been considered, every comfort anticipated, and every day feels like a celebration of the art of living. The rare opportunity to claim this sanctuary as your own awaits. Will you answer its call?
