House Carpentras - 6 bedrooms

In the heart of Carpentras’s historic centre, behind its elegant façade and just a few steps from the town’s shops and iconic landmarks, G Immobilier de Prestige presents an exceptional residence whose history is intertwined with that of the town.

Built in the late 18th century, at the very beginning of the 19th, on the site of a former commandery along the ramparts of Carpentras, this property holds a unique place in the town’s heritage. Historic plans of Carpentras already show its location, making it one of the town’s most remarkable historic residences.

Its exceptional character is also due to a feature that has become almost impossible to find in a historic town centre: the property is completely detached. Entirely independent, it has four exposed façades, allowing in remarkable amounts of natural light.

Over the course of its history, the last owner welcomed the nuns of Carpentras Hospital for many years before bequeathing the residence to the institution. Its current owner then undertook a remarkable restoration, bringing back all the splendour and elegance it enjoyed in the late 18th century, while incorporating the comforts of a contemporary renovation.

With nearly 580 m² of floor space, plus a 118 m² garage, extensive vaulted cellars and landscaped gardens, this residence harmoniously combines heritage, space and modern comfort. A lift serves every floor, providing exceptional convenience for a property of this era.

The charm is immediate on arrival. A majestic stone entrance platform, reached by an elegant double staircase lined with a carved balustrade, leads to the imposing solid-wood front door. An old stone fountain, built into the base of the entrance platform, is a refined reminder of the residence’s history and makes for a particularly dramatic arrival.

Beyond the entrance, a spectacular hallway running through the house reveals a monumental staircase bathed in light, the true backbone of the property. Ceiling heights of almost four metres, oak parquet flooring, marble fireplaces, mouldings, wood panelling and antique chandeliers create an exceptionally elegant setting in which every detail reflects the refinement of the original architecture.

The ground floor is entirely devoted to reception rooms, with nearly 135 m² of living space, including a 34 m² dining room, a 32 m² main sitting room, a more intimate second sitting room of 12 m², a study and a spacious contemporary kitchen of 21 m², complemented by a pantry and utility room.

The two upper floors currently offer six bedrooms, including a magnificent 35 m² suite, several bedrooms measuring between 21 and 23 m², dressing rooms, a boudoir, a study, a studio and six shower rooms or bathrooms. The layout is equally suited to family life or to a guesthouse, event venue or restaurant project.

Outside, the enclosed garden is a rare privilege in the heart of Carpentras. Centuries-old trees, an antique fountain, terraces and landscaped areas create a secluded green haven, hidden from view.

The vaulted cellars and numerous rooms offer excellent potential for an art gallery, a business or any other ambitious project.

With its history and architecture, complete absence of adjoining properties, grand proportions, quality restoration and the rare convenience of a lift, this property is more than just a town mansion: it is one of Carpentras’s finest historic residences, a unique place to live where every stone tells a story spanning more than two centuries.

A 118 m² garage is available for purchase at an additional cost.

• Historic house in the heart of the old town, steps from shops and landmark monuments.
• Six bedrooms and ten rooms in a residence built in the late 18th or early 19th century.
