Provence’s Sunlit Sanctuary: A Riviera Dream with River & Vine-Kissed Terraces

Perched like a golden jewel above the rolling hills of Provence, this sun-drenched estate unfurls across a private hectare of south-facing land, where the air hums with the scent of lavender and the distant murmur of the river below. Built in 2007 with the soul of a Provençal *mas*—yet kissed by modern luxury—this is a domain where time slows, and every glance lingers on the endless panorama of emerald hills stretching to the horizon.

Approach through wrought-iron gates to a world where privacy is sacred and the light plays across honey-colored stone terraces, their warmth echoing the Mediterranean garden’s riot of bougainvillea, cypress, and olive trees. Here, the heated pool—long as a lap of indulgence (10x5 meters)—mirrors the azure sky, its edges softened by a pool house where a semi-professional kitchen awaits al fresco feasts beneath a vaulted, shaded dining terrace. Imagine twilight gatherings where the clink of glasses blends with the rustle of plane trees, or mornings where coffee steams beside two bubbling jacuzzis, their waters reflecting the first blush of dawn.

Beyond the main villa, four exquisite guest suites stand as private sanctuaries, each with its own bathroom—a retreat for loved ones or discerning travelers. Two additional studios whisper of flexibility, whether for an artist’s hideaway or a caretaker’s quarters. But the crown of this estate is the dominant guest accommodation: a luminous living space opening onto a 70-square-meter terrace where the view commands the valley like a king surveying his kingdom. Here, the master suite becomes a haven, its shower room a cascade of marble and glass, while below, a sprawling cellar and basement promise space for treasures yet to be collected—wine, art, or the quiet dreams of future summers.

The river, a silver thread at the edge of the land, beckons with its private pontoon and waiting canoes—an invitation to drift through liquid sunshine or steal beneath the dappled shade of overhanging willows. And when the day’s heat softens, retreat to the sauna’s embrace or the air-conditioned leisure room, where laughter and music might dance long into the star-strewn nights.

Just moments from Lorgues—its cobbled lanes alive with markets, cafés, and the timeless charm of a Provençal village—this estate is both a secluded paradise and a gateway to the Côte d’Azur’s glittering allure. The vast shaded parking court at the entrance hints at possibility: a family legacy, a boutique retreat, or simply a place where life’s most exquisite moments unfold, undisturbed.

This is Provence as it was meant to be lived—infinite light, the whisper of the river, and a home that cradles the soul in every sunlit stone.
