Bastide like château in the heart of the village of Lorgues , 83510 Lorgues

—Ref. G0662vm

Viewing is invited on this magnificent country house in walking distance of Lorgues village: completed in 2020, 8 years in the building, and faithfully reflecting the elegance of eighteenth-century Provençal châteaux.

The house is steeped in a château atmosphere enhanced by fine, authentic materials, some recovered from old châteaux. This property really does demand to be viewed: it is of outstanding quality. The courtyard with its stableyard cobblestones sets the tone straight away and transports you back in time: all that’s missing is the smell of the horses and the sound of their neighing.

The location of the property in Lorgues village makes the shops, restaurants and all amenities reachable on foot while ensuring a quiet, peaceful ambience.

Once inside, there’s no resisting the spacious rooms, high ceilings, stone floors and château architecture - with modern comfort incorporated. Because, with underfloor heating throughout the house and sliding windows opening onto the due-south-facing terraces, the comfort and advantages of a contemporary villa are on hand.

The 360 sqm single-level ground floor opens onto the cobbled courtyard with its regal fountain. The stone frontages and the Dovecote make this an outstanding place, perfectly designed as a family home. It is easy to imagine how it could be extended and transformed into a charming hotel, a wellness centre or a gourmet restaurant.

Lorgues is highly rated by its elite foreign clientele for its geographical location, 45 minutes from Saint-Tropez and its celebrated Provençal market.

The villa comprises a huge lounge with fireplace, a separate dining room, a spacious kitchen with utility room, a study, a games room and a 70 sqm main bedroom with walk-in wardrobe, bathroom, shower, toilet and sauna.Upstairs are three well-lit suites, each with walk-in wardrobe, bathroom and toilet, all generously sized with a commanding view of the garden and swimming pool; one features a one-piece period balcony.This exceptional property presents very high-end fittings and materials: underfloor heating powered by heat pump, a 360 cubic metre rainwater recovery system, arched sliding windows, double-vaulted ceilings, carved cupboard doors, gilded ceiling decorations and a rainwater recovery system for watering the more than 6000 sqm of landscaped grounds. The 12 x 5 metre heated saltwater swimming pool has a huge stone terrace and a pool house with shower room and toilet; it is reached via a double stone staircase.

There are also outbuildings totalling over 250 sqm, including an 80 sqm separate garage and an 80 sqm dovecote-style guest cottage with two bedrooms, shower room and fitted kitchen.

This country house combines elegance, tranquillity and high energy efficiency with strong development potential.
