Castle for sale, Aix-en-Provence, 10 rooms, 325 m², ref 7348432

Between Aix and the Luberon – A historic property in about 14 hectares

This ensemble steeped in history is in a peaceful elevated setting 30 minutes north-west of Aix-en-Provence.
Set in about 14 hectares of grounds with a wall and a borehole, it comprises a 13th century castle, a “mas”, a “mazet” and a ruin.
A watchtower dating from the time of the Knights Templar leads to a “Commanderie” which features a magnificent banqueting hall boasting high ceilings as well as several monumental fireplaces. Roof terraces command panoramic views of the Luberon and the nearby hills.
The near 265 sqm 18th century “mas” includes a living/reception room, a dining room, a kitchen, five en suite bedrooms (one on the ground floor), and a studo apartment benefiting from a independent entry.
The 35 sqm “mazet” comprises a living room, a kitchen area, and a bedroom with a shower room.
Below the ensemble is a ruin with a partial grotto, and a second ruin which could create a pool house.
Renovation is required to exploit the full potential of this remarkable ensemble steeped in history and in an exceptional setting on the edge of a conservation area.
Great potential for a tourist/events business.
