A Jewel of a Property Just Minutes from St. Rémy-de-Provence

In a delightful countryside setting close to spectacular Les Baux and just a few minutes from fashionable St. Rémy-de-Provence, this superb recently renovated mas is a haven of peace and quiet. Privacy is assured by its 4 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds with mature trees and vineyards, ideal for an early morning jog or a moonlit stroll. The lavender-lined drive is just the first of the Provencal delights in store - in the house local traditions are upheld in the spacious rooms, tiled floors and monumental fireplaces, while country antiques and colorful fabrics add a personal touch.

The main sitting room is bright with windows on both sides and a double divan sofa as centerpiece, while the smaller study provides a quiet spot for a read or laptop session. The kitchen is well planned with a professional range and granite topped units fitted around the original massive fireplace. Meals can be enjoyed around the dining table in the sunny dining room next to the kitchen, or better still on the terrace just outside.

It is here that the real country character of the property lives on, in the broad graveled garden with its islands of shady trees, the striking stonework of the original well and drinking trough and the refreshing sounds of trickling water from trough and fountain. The pool has been cleverly inserted into this rustic setting, with pool house alongside and a choice of sheltered spots to relax in sun or shade.

The bedrooms have their own touches of color and rich fabrics, while one bathroom has a totally unique bath carved from the solid trunk of a once-mighty tree! In addition to the three bedrooms on the top floor there is a separate apartment on ground level with a twin-bedded room plus a living room and fully equipped kitchen, perfect for those who do not want to cope with stairs.
