House Saint-Rémy-de-Provence (13)

Beautiful mas that has preserved its ancient character, set in superbly planted grounds: olive grove, lavender patches, cypress trees and a long arbor filled with roses, wisteria and irises... The magic of Provence. The gate opens onto a beautiful olive grove, like a breathing space between the town and the Alpilles mountains. Following the lovely driveway, we arrive at the parking areas, the two garages and the caretaker's cottage. The caretaker's cottage comprises a terrace, lounge, kitchen, shower room, wc and bedroom. A door connects it directly to the farmhouse via the entrance. Access to the farmhouse is via a separate path: the old gate opens onto a beautiful porch revealing the garden. The entrance to the farmhouse, like a winter garden, gives access to the boiler room and the kitchen/dining area, which in turn opens onto the terrace with its wisteria, jasmine and panoramic view of the garden. This is followed by the lounge with its vast fireplace, then a separate TV area, again opening onto the south-facing terrace. Also on the garden level: a suite with shower room, wc and utility room. The first floor features a lovely open-plan space leading to a vast master suite: a lovely sleeping area with bathroom (and shower) and wc, another suite with shower and wc, a bedroom with shower and a final bedroom. The farmhouse is full of charm with its stone walls, floor tiles and beams. The garden is an enchantment: it has been laid out in different groves: swimming pool area and its covered summer kitchen/pool-house, olive trees, various Provencal species... Plus: an air-conditioned farmhouse, a borehole, a cistern and canal water for irrigation... You can't imagine a place like this behind the gates, a real change of scenery just a stone's throw from everything: the entrance to the town, the exit, access to the centre of Saint-Rémy on foot along the canal (30 mins), or by car in 5 mins. A must-see! File in progress.
