Description

Five centuries of history among oaks, pines and gardens

Between Cadenet and Lourmarin, in Cucuron, the estate is set in a preserved natural environment in the Luberon. Its location provides access to Aix-en-Provence and its TGV station in under 40 minutes, while maintaining a direct connection with the surrounding countryside.

Originally a substantial Provençal farm, the property was transformed in the 18th century by a family of merchants whose trade with Venice and the Mediterranean inspired its distinctive identity. A thorough restoration, carried out over the past two decades in respect of this history, has preserved the character of each building.

Offering almost 611 m² (6,577 sq ft) of living space, the estate reflects a heritage shaped by multiple influences and is suited to both everyday living and use as a second home.
