Location: 4 kms from St-Rémy-de-Provence, 22 kms south of Avignon

Located just outside of St-Rémy-de-Provence, this charming stone house is part of an 18th-century mas. The old farmhouse was divided years ago inside by a thick stone wall. A high wall also separates the spacious park-like grounds, which are completely private.

The park includes a bassin-style swimming pool set away from the house, grassy areas and many trees such as pine, cypress, olive, oak and fig. Adjacent to the house is a stone terrace with a glass-topped wrought iron dining table and wicker furniture, ideal for relaxing and enjoying leisurely outdoor meals.

Inside, the house has been lovingly renovated and beautifully decorated. It features heavy wood beamed ceilings, exposed stone walls and terra cotta tile floors. A collection of striking antique chests, tables, lamps, Asian carpets and works of art compliment gracious furnishings and every convenience, including air-conditioned bedrooms.

To the right of the entry hall is a large double salon. In the main living area, a deep blue upholstered sofa is grouped with period chairs around a glass-topped wrought iron coffee table near the fireplace. A stone archway opens to another seating group with sofa and large easy chairs grouped around an antique wood coffee table. Adjacent is the dining area with antique wood table and chairs.

From the dining area another stone archway opens to the well-equipped galley-style kitchen. A stone wall separates the kitchen from a pretty breakfast area with round wood table. The kitchen and breakfast area may also be accessed directly from the main entry hall. Also on this level are separate toilet facilities.

Stairs lead to the second floor and a library landing with loveseat and coffee table. There are 3 bedrooms on this level, all air-conditioned. The bedrooms are beautifully appointed with pretty bedcovers, curtains, antique tables and chests. Next door to the library is the spacious master bedroom with antique poster queen-sized bed. Sunny yellow walls and hardwood floor accent a handsome antique armoire and bedside tables. A corridor leads to two more bedrooms, one with antique poster queen bed and the other with twins. Also on the corridor is a full bathroom with both tub and shower.

A property with tremendous style and atmosphere near a celebrated Provençal town.
