Description

Nichée au sein de l’un des plus emblématiques villages d’ocres du Luberon, cette somptueuse propriété incarne à la perfection l’élégance et l’authenticité provençale. Ce remarquable mas ancien développe plus de 500 m² de surface bâtie, répartis entre une habitation principale de caractère et ses dépendances. Bénéficiant d’une exposition plein Sud, la propriété offre un panorama d’exception, embrassant la vallée d’Apt et les reliefs du massif du Luberon. Édifiée sur un domaine de plus de 3 hectares, elle se compose de vignes, d’espaces paysagers soignés et d’un superbe espace piscine parfaitement intégré, sublimé par la présence de majestueux platanes. Dès l’entrée, un hall distribue les pièces de réception du rez-de-chaussée : une vaste cuisine avec espace repas, un salon chaleureux agrémenté d’une cheminée en pierre à foyer ouvert, un bureau ainsi qu’un séjour raffiné. L’étage accueille cinq chambres aux volumes généreux, dont deux suites, complétées par deux salles d’eau supplémentaires. Entièrement rénovée avec un sens aigu du détail, cette demeure met en valeur des matériaux nobles et authentiques : sols en pierre naturelle, poutres apparentes, plafonds à la provençale, cheminée ancienne en pierre de taille… Chaque élément a été pensé pour préserver l’âme du lieu tout en offrant un confort contemporain. Une propriété rare, où le charme de l’ancien se conjugue avec une qualité de rénovation remarquable, au cœur d’un cadre parmi les plus recherchés du Luberon.

Next steps for moving to France

Interested in this property? Here's how to move forward.

1

Understand the buying rules

Foreign ownership laws vary wildly by country. Some welcome you, others restrict or ban foreign buyers entirely.

2

Sort out your visa

Owning property doesn't give you the right to live there. Research residency options before you buy.

3

Plan your finances

Understand currency risk, international wire transfers, and whether you can get a local mortgage.

4

Know your tax obligations

US citizens are taxed on worldwide income. You'll need to file US taxes from abroad and may owe local taxes too.

5

Set up healthcare

Medicare doesn't cover you overseas. You'll need international health insurance or a local plan.

6

Run the full checklist

Banking, mail forwarding, power of attorney, pet import rules — the complete pre-move checklist.
