Castle/Estates For Sale in Venasque

This incredible estate is tucked away in a peaceful, hilltop location to the North of the Luberon, Provence.

As you approach this property up the winding, tree-lined driveway surrounded by lavender, vines and olive groves, you know you are arriving somewhere special. The property offers panoramic views over rolling hills and countryside in all directions, including a beautiful view of the hilltop village of Venasque (one of the most beautiful villages in France). This property really needs to be seen to appreciate fully.

Standing in approximately nine hectares of beautiful grounds, this handsome home comes with around 3 hectares of vines and several beautiful olive groves, as well as formal gardens with many terraces and a stunning, heated pool area.

There is approximately 1,200m2 of light and bright living space in total with eleven bedrooms in the main part of the property (nine are ensuite) including two impressive master suites, plus a one bedroomed self-contained guardian house. There are several reception rooms, including a large provencal dining kitchen, formal dining room, double living room with open fireplace and a wonderful, panoramic sunroom that takes in the stunning views. All reception rooms open onto the landscaped terraces, gardens and pool area.

Whilst the warm and welcoming property offers a lot of space, it does not feel overwhelming. The well laid-out living space means that you can stay here comfortably as a couple or a small family, with the main living areas and bedrooms all within easy reach. This is also a wonderful home to entertain friends and family, because all of the guest bedroom suites are spread out on different levels so everyone would have plenty of space, and there are lots of entertaining areas inside and out.

The gardens include a range of sunny and shady terraces, lawned areas, a large summer kitchen area with BBQ facilities, and a stunning 15 metre long, heated swimming pool that take in the views of rolling countryside, hilltop villages, lavender fields, olive groves and vines.

As well as all this, you can also find a games room, wine cellar, laundry room, several guest w.c’s, extensive garaging for 8+ cars, pétanque court and so much more…

Please note – the vines and olive groves are currently managed and harvested by local experts, and the irrigation for the grounds and gardens is fed by the canal, allowing a beautifully green environment.

The stunning hilltop village of Venasque is nearby, Carpentras, Gordes, Murs and many other well known towns and villages are all 10-20 minutes away. l’Isle sur la Sorgue, the Venice of Provence is less than 25 minutes away and Mont Ventoux is not far, for those cyclists looking for their next challenge!
