Near Gordes: Hillside Leisure Property

Property Description

Close to a small hamlet a few kilometres from Gordes, this charming stone house offers uninterrupted views over the valley and the Luberon.

Access to this pleasure property is via an electric gate opening onto a large square around a stone fountain and a large pergola with space for 3 vehicles.

A few metres further up is the imposing traditional stone house, mostly on one level with a large south-facing awning. You enter into a vast living room with stone fireplace, bathed in light thanks to its large picture windows, offering a sitting area, a double dining room and a study. On the west side is the fitted Provencal kitchen with central island, opening onto the awning/summer dining room with barbecue.

On the east side at garden level, a hallway opens onto three bedrooms of almost equal size, which share a shower room with separate toilet.

Upstairs, accessed via a wide wooden staircase, a generous landing leads to the large en suite bedrooms Iv and V, some of which have sloping ceilings, one with a shower room and the other with a bathroom. A smaller bedroom Vi is on the north side.

Comfort: materials offering a certain Provencal authenticity, Luberon stone floors, numerous exposed beams, wood or wrought iron joinery, oil-fired central heating and reversible air conditioning upstairs, mains water, mains drainage, fibre optics.

To the west of the awning is a room used as a games room/pool house. At the rear, a small storage room completes the construction.

A few metres to the south is the free-form swimming pool (approx. 10 x 6 metres) bordered by a superb hundred-year-old olive tree and enhanced by an outdoor shower. This advanced area on the embankment takes advantage of the views while remaining out of sight.

The property spans more than 5,000 m² on a hillside, but the living space is mainly on a large terraced area in a dominant position between the house and the swimming pool, offering superb views over the vineyards, olive and cherry trees, the Luberon, the Monts de Vaucluse and numerous hilltop villages and hamlets.
