luxury houses for sale Vaucluse, France (page 63)

A restored stone house with two hectares of grounds in Ménerbes, one of France's most beautiful villages, at the foot of the Luberon mountain range. A lane leads to the property’s south side, where an unobtrusive gate takes you onto a large entry lane that runs up to the house – a former sheep barn that has been converted into a fine home and extended. The dwelling seems like a solitary retreat, but it is not that far from essential amenities. Between holm oaks and pedunculate oaks, this secret haven nestled in greenery emerges beyond one of the property’s two traditional dry-stone huts. Such dry-stone huts – called ‘bories’ in French – are characteristic of rural dwellings in the Luberon area. They are circular in shape with a corbel vault. These old structures have survived remarkably well. The property’s first dry-stone hut dates back to the 18th century. It has not been restored. It stands out along the entry lane leading up to the house. The second dry-stone hut is larger and has been renovated masterfully. It has become an integral part of the house. The house’s walls are made of exposed jointed stones from the quarries of Ménerbes. This jointed stonework contrasts with the dry stones of the traditional huts and low walls. The windows and doorways have a range of shapes: some are right-angled and others are arched. They are laid out asymmetrically. The roofs are covered with monk-and-nun tiling and have either one or two slopes. On the east side, there is a swimming pool in line with a cobblestone terrace. The pool forms a junction between the two types of local rural architecture. A traditional dry-stone hut with a characteristic rocky form and a single opening runs along the swimming pool and houses the pool’s control room. From the terrace, you can admire a view of the hilltop village of Ménerbes through a gap in the foliage all year round. On the west side, local characteristics can also be seen in a low dry-stone wall that encloses the property and separates it from a country lane with restricted use. This low wall stands out for its coping of stone slabs placed in an opus spicatum pattern that is typical of southern France: the slabs are placed on their edges in a slanting position upon the wall like books on a shelf.

A fifteenth-century house and its terraced garden of dry-stone retaining walls at the foot of a chateau in a medieval village in the Rhône valley of Provence. The property lies under the protective watch of a twelfth-century chateau. It has three floors and stands on a street corner where a road and an alleyway meet. It is a sturdy village house made up of two main sections with large, lime-coated faces. It stands out from its neighbours for its authenticity and oxblood tone that has lasted for centuries. The facade – the face of the first section – leans slightly and features a carriage door with a finely sculpted surround of dressed stone. The double-column door frame is adorned with two statuettes: an angel and a devil – one on each side. A segmental-arch window frame completes the openings on this ground floor. The windows of the two floors above are also made of dressed stone and are likewise capped with a segmental arch. They are aligned with the ground-floor door and window. On the first floor, these windows are tall and narrow. On the second floor, just beneath the eaves, they are almost square-shaped. The north face displays a vertical division between the first section with its single-slope roof facing west, towards the road, and the second section, stretching eastwards, with a similar roof that faces north towards the alley – a cul-de-sac perpendicular to the road. Monk-and-nun tiling covers the roof and a génoise eaves cornice of several rows edges it. Several square windows that probably date back to the fifteenth century punctuate the north face. An arched carriage door leads through this side as an upper entrance into the main living space. The other sections and the garden, on the east side, cannot be seen from the street. An initial visit by the regional office of cultural affairs confirmed that this enclosure was the noble dwelling of a wealthy merchant or powerful family. An in-depth archaeological study would be needed to clarify its origin.

A former priory and its listed chapel converted into a country house, with swimming pool and outbuildings, set in 2 ha of protected grounds including woodland close to Aix-en-Provence. The approach to the priory is particularly secluded. Behind a small gate, a track runs alongside meadows lined with tall trees, gradually revealing the north facade of the former priory. Built on top of a 9th-century building, it was extended in the 12th century by a Romanesque chapel and in the 17th century by a farmhouse. The coursed limestone masonry elevations have a few windows, which suggest that there may be larger openings to the south. The roofs are of monk-and-nun tiles and a bell gable overlooks the landscape at the eastern end of the chapel. The joinery is all wood and all the doors are moulded. The grounds surrounding the building extend over 2 hectares, planted with over 2,000 tall specimen trees providing shade and privacy. Part meadow, part undergrowth, they benefit from an abundance of water thanks to a branch of the Touloubre canal, tamed by a pond and sluice gates located throughout the grounds. A small guest house and a 16 x 6 m swimming pool complete the property.
