Overview

High above the golden valleys of the Baronnies Provençales, where the air hums with the scent of wild lavender and the shadow of Mont Ventoux stretches long at dusk, an extraordinary domain unfolds—58 sun-drenched hectares of untamed beauty, cradling three stone *mas* in perfect harmony with the land. This is not merely an estate; it is a living poem of Provence, where time moves to the rhythm of cicadas and the wind through ancient oaks, where every terrace, every courtyard, every sun-warmed stone tells a story of elegance untouched by haste.

The principal *mas*, commanding its hilltop throne, gazes across rolling hills through windows framed by climbing roses. Here, 244 square meters of luminous living space unfold across rooms where honey-colored beams cradle modern comforts—where a fireplace crackles in winter and summer breezes drift through open doors onto sweeping terraces. The gardens, meticulously sculpted yet effortlessly wild, spill down the slope in tiers of fragrant herbs and silver-leafed olives, inviting long evenings beneath a sky ablaze with stars.

Nearby, a second *mas*—131 square meters of quiet refinement—offers sanctuary for guests or a private retreat, its stone walls holding the cool of centuries. But it is the third *mas*, a sprawling 454-square-meter masterpiece of Provençal soul, that steals the breath. Centered around a sunlit courtyard, it unfolds like a secret: vaulted ceilings, a pool glinting under the midday sun, and two pavilions draped in wisteria, where the only sound is the rustle of pages turning in the shade. Here, time dissolves into the rhythm of the land—morning coffee by the pool, afternoons lost in the dappled quiet of the woodlands, evenings beneath a canopy of stars so vivid they seem to tremble.

The estate’s 58 hectares are a symphony of contrasts: dense woodlands where deer pause at the edge of clearings, sunlit meadows swaying with wildflowers, and cultivated plots whispering of Provence’s bounty. This is a place for those who crave space—not just of acres, but of the soul. A private family legacy, a boutique retreat where guests arrive as visitors and leave as dreamers, or simply a sanctuary where the art of living is practiced daily, beneath the watchful gaze of Mont Ventoux.

At the crossroads of the Luberon’s charm and the untamed spirit of the Baronnies, this estate is more than a property. It is an invitation—to wake with the first gold of dawn over the hills, to dine under a sky painted in twilight, to live where the land still breathes its ancient magic. For those who seek not just a home, but a way of being, this is Provence as it was meant to be: wild, timeless, and utterly yours.
