Features and description
Located on the heights of Aix-en-Provence, just 5 minutes from the city centre, along the Route Cézanne (the only road in France listed as a hstoric monument), and a stone's throw from the famous Château Noir — the estate where the painter Paul Cézanne lived and worked — this extraordinary south-facing 16th-century property overlooks endless rolling hills with no visible construction in sight.
Set on a beautiful 3. 4-hectare (8.4 acre) plot featuring an olive grove producing over three tons of olives annually (yielding an excellent aoc-certified olive oil), the estate also includes a 120 sq.m. (1,292 sq.ft.) caretaker's or guest house (which can be extended), a swimming pool, a pétanque court, a four-car garage, and three magnificent terraces offering stunning views.
The main house, with a surface area of approximately 350 sq.m. (3,767 sq.ft.) is spread over three levels and features:
Ground (U.S. 1st) floor
An entrance hall, a double living room, a dining room, a kitchen with a veranda
1st (U.S. 2nd) floor
Three bedrooms, three bathrooms, dressing rooms, a large studio (former barn) with a mezzanine and bathroom — also accessible independently — and a study with a terrace and jacuzzi.
2nd (U.S. 3rd) floor
A bedroom with an en-suite bathroom and terrace.
This unique setting is completely private whilst being just steps away from the vibrant cultural life of Aix-en-Provence, with access to an excellent bilingual school (ibs of Provence), a tgv high-speed train station (20 minutes away), and an international airport (Marseille Provence Airport, 29 minutes away).
The house was painted by Paul Cézanne in 1897 in his famous work La Montagne Sainte-Victoire, now housed at the Ermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg.
