4 Bedroom Villa/House in Arles

Charming Provençal ‘Mas des Abeilles’ with Alpilles Views

Nestled in a secluded rural setting on 3,312 m2 of protected farmland, this beautifully renovated Provencal farmhouse, known as the ‘Mas des Abeilles’, offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of history with uninterrupted views of the stunning Alpilles mountains. Dating back to 1740, this exquisite property combines rustic charm with modern comfort, showcasing a seamless blend of the original character and thoughtful renovations.

In 2015, the farmhouse underwent an extensive restoration that preserved its authentic features, while enhancing the living spaces with contemporary finishes and attention to detail. The result is a spacious 233 m2 home where the open-plan living areas, including a 54 m2 lounge and a 27 m2 kitchen, create an inviting atmosphere for both relaxation and entertainment. A grand entrance hall, utility room, and a garage complement the ground floor, offering functionality and ease of living.

Upstairs, a light-filled mezzanine with soaring ceilings leads to four comfortable bedrooms, each beautifully appointed with three en-suite bathrooms that blend luxury and practicality. The renovations were done with meticulous care to meet the highest standards of modern comfort, ensuring every room is a sanctuary.

Equipped with two pellet stoves (ceramic and insert in the existing fireplace) and supplemented by electric radiators, the home provides a cosy, efficient warmth during the colder months. In 2024, the installation of photovoltaic panels ensures the property is virtually self-sufficient in electricity, enhancing its eco-friendly appeal. Additionally, the north facade and attic were insulated in 2017, and double-glazed joinery ensures excellent energy efficiency throughout.

The charm of this property extends to its magnificent outdoor spaces. The nearly 50 m2 swimming pool, set against the backdrop of the tranquil Alpilles, is a peaceful retreat, while the former horse stalls, now converted into a stylish pool house, add a unique and functional touch. The grounds are meticulously maintained, with century-old plane and lime trees enhancing the natural beauty and serenity of the landscape.

This delightful Mas des Abeilles offers a rare combination of history, elegance, and modern comfort in one of the most sought-after regions of Provence. With its energy-efficient renovation and proximity to the vibrant town of Arles, it represents an exceptional opportunity to experience the art of Provençal living.
