DESCRIPTION

Located between Arles and Maussane, this exceptional property offers a secluded setting where luxury is found not only in the high standard of the fittings, but also in the peace and quiet, the lush greenery and the endless views that unfold before your eyes.

In a single glance, you can admire the distinctive silhouette of the city of Arles with its bell towers and the famous LUMA Foundation, as well as the spectacular Montmajour Abbey, with the Alpilles forming the backdrop to this masterpiece.

Passing through the main gate, visitors are greeted by a beautiful driveway winding its way through cypresses, pines and olive trees.

Firstly, a guest house (or caretaker’s cottage) is situated in a strategic position, allowing occupants to enjoy beautiful outdoor spaces whilst living completely independently from the main building.

Here you will find a bright living area opening out onto the outdoors (a charming shaded terrace and a beautiful garden with trees), a high-end oak kitchen with a quartzite worktop that is as beautiful as it is practical, and two bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom.

At the end of this long main driveway, at the top of the hill, a large parking area beneath century-old pine trees features a carport with exposed beams for four vehicles, complete with a charging point (plus around ten additional parking spaces).

Just before the main entrance to this beautiful country house, even before stepping inside, and whilst still in the car, the view is already incredible – a car park with a view!

An elegantly curved staircase then leads to the entrance of the main farmhouse, a spacious hall of timeless elegance, facing the beautiful staircase with its delicate ironwork that leads to the sleeping quarters.

The entrance hall is the focal point of the house, leading to:

a huge living room featuring a superb 18th-century fireplace, opening out onto incredible views of the surrounding area; a dining room/kitchen, fitted to a high standard, semi-open to the living area thanks to its L-shape, and also opening out onto the views and various terraces

A TV lounge that could be converted into a bedroom

A guest toilet

A utility room

Several terraces provide space to entertain a large number of guests, whilst paths allow you to stroll through the grounds amongst the pine and olive trees, to the pool area or even to collect eggs from a charming bespoke henhouse, always with a view.

Upstairs, a very large suite features its own terrace, a timeless bathroom with shower and bath, a toilet and a large dressing room.

Two further bedrooms, a shower room and a toilet complete this floor.

On the lower level, a vaulted, air-conditioned, capable of storing 2,000 bottles in optimal conditions, a second utility room, a technical room housing the CCTV and alarm systems, and a bright space that could serve as a staff flat or offices, featuring a lounge, a bedroom with en-suite bathroom, a toilet and an office.

There is also a panic room;

To complete the buildings, a beautiful pool house allows you to make the most of the pool area, featuring a living area with a kitchen, a shower room and a toilet.

It is worth noting that the owners have taken the same care in renovating each building (farmhouse, guest house, pool house), with high-end kitchens and bathrooms, and ducted air-conditioning systems...

Two boreholes supply the property.

An exceptionally rare find in this unique setting, with its panoramic views, well-designed spaces and high standard of fittings.
