Villa in Cadenet, Provence - Var

Just a few minutes from Lourmarin, one of the most beautiful villages in Provence, this exceptional estate of nearly 611 m2 of living space embodies the timeless charm of grand Provencal residences in a preserved natural setting. Set within 4.2 hectares of beautifully landscaped grounds, this private estate enjoys a unique environment surrounded by oak trees, pine forests, and Mediterranean gardens. From the moment of arrival, the architecture captivates with its authenticity: stone facades, generous volumes, traditional terracotta roof tiles, elegant terraces, and an intimate inner courtyard create a harmonious property full of character and history. The origins of the Domaine date back to the 16th century. Originally a large Provencal farmstead, it was extensively transformed in the 18th century by a family of merchants whose trade links with Venice and the Mediterranean basin inspired a distinctive architectural style combining Provencal, Venetian, and Oriental influences. This exceptional heritage gives the estate its rare and unique identity today. Over the past two decades, the property has undergone a major restoration project, carried out with the utmost respect for its history and architectural heritage. Each building has regained its original purpose, while every architectural detail has been carefully preserved, restoring the estate's elegance, authenticity, and timeless appeal. The main residence offers magnificent reception rooms filled with natural light, where historic charm blends seamlessly with modern comfort. Original fireplaces, impressive ceiling heights, large openings, and high-quality finishes create a warm and sophisticated atmosphere. Spread over several levels, the 10 bedrooms provide exceptional comfort for family and guests alike. This versatile layout also makes the property perfectly suited for a luxury guest house project, or prestigious family residence in Provence. Outside, the landscaped grounds create a true haven of peace. An elegant swimming pool blends naturally into the surroundings and invites residents to fully enjoy the Provencal art of living. The various terraces, shaded relaxation areas, and open views over the countryside offer privileged spaces to unwind throughout the day. Designed for both everyday living and a second home lifestyle, the estate also features highly sought-after amenities including double glazing, automated entrance gate, video intercom system, automatic irrigation, private water supply from a borehole, and a fully enclosed garden ensuring comfort and security. Rare for its size, authenticity, and strategic location between Cadenet and Lourmarin, this exceptional Provencal property will appeal to buyers seeking a unique luxury residence in the heart of the Luberon. Ideally located less than 40 minutes from Aix-en-Provence and its TGV high-speed train station, the estate offers easy access while preserving complete tranquillity. More than just a prestigious property, the Domaine is a historic residence where five centuries of heritage meet the timeless elegance of the Provencal lifestyle.
