Overview
Nestled in the golden embrace of the Luberon’s rolling hills, where lavender-scented breezes dance through cypress and olive groves, this enchanting estate beckons those who seek the rare alchemy of history, space, and serenity. Just beyond the cobblestone charm of Villars—a village untouched by time—lies a sanctuary where Provencal elegance unfolds across 7,000 square meters of sun-drenched land, cradling a century-old *pigeonnier*, a sparkling pool, and a home that breathes with the soul of the countryside.
The main house, a masterpiece of generous proportions, welcomes you through a stately entrance hall into a living space of breathtaking scale—over 84 square meters of luminous grandeur, where an office nook whispers of quiet afternoons spent penning letters by natural light. Here, the heart of the home pulses in the open kitchen, a 38-square-meter canvas of culinary inspiration, seamlessly flowing into a second living area anchored by a majestic central fireplace. Above, two bedrooms—one a lavish 21-square-meter retreat, the other an intimate 15-square-meter haven—share a sumptuous 14-square-meter family bathroom, where modern luxury meets rustic charm.

But the magic does not end there. Step into the restored *pigeonnier*, a storybook gîte where time seems to stand still. Its ground floor unfolds with a cozy living space and a 16-square-meter kitchen, while upstairs, a fireside salon spills onto a private terrace, inviting golden-hour reveries. Ascend once more to discover an attic bedroom, its sloped ceilings framing views of the estate’s tranquil pond—a mirror to the Provencal sky.
Outside, the gardens are a symphony of texture and fragrance: shaded terraces dappled with sunlight, a 11x6-meter pool glinting like a sapphire amid lush plantings, and a 15-square-meter poolhouse standing ready for languid afternoons. The land, a tapestry of mature trees and blooming shrubs, offers seclusion without solitude, while a 57-square-meter garage and a 100-square-meter stable hint at equestrian dreams or the promise of a vineyard’s first harvest.

Here, in the hushed embrace of Saint-Saturnin-lès-Apt, where the Luberon’s fabled light paints the landscape in hues of ochre and emerald, this estate is more than a home—it is a legacy. A place where morning coffee is savored on sun-warmed stone, where evenings dissolve into starlit dinners beneath the plane trees, and where every corner tells a story waiting to be continued. For those who crave the rare marriage of space, history, and untouched beauty, this is Provence as it was meant to be lived.
