V0817 Secluded stone mas with pool and..

Hidden on a hilltop surrounded by truffle oaks, olive groves and Bories, but only 5 minutes drive from the villages of St Didier and Venasque, this stone mas started life as a hunting lodge commissioned by a wealthy Avignon aristocrat.

The owners have reinvented it as a family home, with great attention to detail: a new oil-fired heating system, roof, insulation, double-glazing, driveway, septic tank, saltwater pool with automatic cover, and redecoration throughout. It benefits from being a recent but traditional renovation.

The property comprises: entrance hall; dining kitchen; sitting/dining room with doors to covered south-facing terrace; feature doors from an ancient Avignon church; utility room; wc; en suite bedroom. Up a stone staircase to: 2 bedrooms; bathroom, which connects to the master suite: large bedroom, bathroom, dressing room, private south facing terrace and a traditional Magnanerie; study/small bedroom, also accessed by an oak staircase. There is an additional independent guardian's apartment/guest suite on the ground floor with 2 separate entrances.

Outside, the pool is completely private with views over the countryside. There are shaded areas as well as a fabulous raised terrace for admiring the sunset! The property has a garage, workshop, bike shed, carport and tree house.

The land boasts truffle-producing oaks, an ancient olive grove and cypress, cedar and almond trees. There is a valuable water source too. The property has 360 deg. views to Mt Ventoux, the Dentelles, Avignon and the Luberon. Footpaths lead to the local villages.

A rare find!
