15 bed villa for sale

Apt, Vaucluse, Provence-Alpes-Côte D'azur

Rare Opportunity: This majestic estate spans 28 hectares and offers vineyards (old vine Grenache, Syrah, Viognier on 9.5 hectares), almond trees on 2.5 hectares, olive and fig trees—a true ode to Provence.

Two access roads, one to the west and one to the north, lead to this noble bastide with its elegant architecture. Each facade features stone-framed windows, and the colors remind us that we are near the Ochres of Roussillon, which is why this area is nicknamed the "French Tuscany." The tree-lined park has hosted many ceremonies in the past, and its particularly peaceful atmosphere is perfect for such events.

The manor house, around 240m2, is centered around a remarkable period staircase (16m2). The ground floor features a living room (36m2) with a beautiful open fireplace, a dining room (20m2), a kitchen (14m2), and a second entrance (16m2) on the southern facade, leading to a vaulted underground cellar. There is also a bathroom and WC (15m2), plenty of storage (14m2), and a bedroom (20m2) with an en-suite bathroom (15m2). The first floor offers a hall (33m2), 3 bedrooms (24m2,13m2, and 10m2), and a vestibule (8m2).

Attached to the main house is a guest house of over 200m2, which can be connected to the main building. This house features a large dining room and living area with an open fireplace, a spacious kitchen (52m2), a pantry (22.6m2), a semi-underground technical room (10m2), and a bedroom (16m2). On the mezzanine level, there are two bathrooms and WCs (5m2 and 7m2), and on the first floor, a large living room (45m2) and three large bedrooms (15.33m2,16m2, and 15.4m2), two of which can accommodate four people. This guest house benefits from a private courtyard (55m2) with a vaulted stone entrance flanked by two outbuildings, totaling 200m2.

Three additional gîtes complete the property, measuring 225m2,87m2, and 85m2 respectively, generating a rental income of €30,000 per year.

The heating for all the buildings is provided by a wood pellet boiler, while solar panels supply hot water. Nearly all the cultivated plots benefit from an automatic irrigation system.

This estate does not have a winemaking cellar. The grapes are delivered to the highly renowned Sylla Cooperative, which vinifies and markets the production.

The new owner will have the choice to continue this arrangement, produce their own wine using Sylla's services, or create a winemaking facility on the estate, which has 200m2 of agricultural space available.

After the sale, if necessary, the current operating owner can continue to assist with their expertise and knowledge.
