Description

The property is located on the outskirts of Aix-En-Provence, on the gently sloping hillsides of the Puyricard plateau, well exposed to the sun and sheltered from the mistral, interspersed with small valleys which descend towards the Touloubre. Originally, La Brillanne was a construction whose traces date back to the 15th century.

At the end of the 19th century, a floor and four square towers were added to the property at each corner, which gave it the name of castle, as well as a slate roof. Several successive alterations have gradually modified the original building, thus helping to give it its current architectural style, while retaining the classic exterior and interior bastide elements.

Today, the property, built on a park of approximately 2.7 hectares, offers a real estate complex of nearly 1900 m2 of buildings, composed of the Provencal castle entirely restored in 2018, three new contemporary villas, an Orangery to renovate, a fen and numerous annexes, including horse boxes and a garage for 12 vehicles.

On the garden side, the estate has retained all of its adjoining outbuildings, its wells, its threshing floor, its dovecote, boxwood paths, gravelled flowerbeds, and greenery but also statues, a wood to the east of the mansion, a monumental entrance with a wrought iron gate, which unambiguously indicated the power and wealth of the masters of the place, a real Provencal tese and ponds (fed by a natural spring coming down from the Trevaresse), a wash house , and fountains.

The park has many century-old trees, including a vast and majestic avenue of plane trees. To complete the outdoor space, a swimming pool, with impressive dimensions and the look of a Proveníçal pool, is nestled on the south side, sheltered from all nuisances. The Provencal author Rene Borricand, in his book Chteau et bastides du Pays d'Aix, evokes the castle estate as follows: A typical three-story facade, generously pierced with five windows to take advantage of the garden; a roof with four slopes decorated with genoises, cornices of tiles whose number of rows indicates the quality of the owner (three are a sign of nobility, the owners had the title of marquis) and towers at each corner. A property made of rusticity and elegance, simplicity and refinement, to come and discover, contact us today to discover more.

The exchange rate on the day you make an offer on your property in France will not be the same as the rate you pay when you complete on your purchase, as currency markets move constantly. Any large rate movements may take it beyond your price range as the chart above illustrates the fluctuation and how much extra your property could have cost you.

The best way to avoid this significant risk is to plan your budget and currency strategy with an experienced currency specialist. They have been known to save you up to 4% compared to many high street banks, £4,000 for every £100,000, which soon adds up. They will also keep you up to date on market movements, help you set a rate in advance with a product called a Forward Contract - so you know exactly what you will pay for your property in sterling.

This is why we recommend Smart Currency Exchange Ltd. If exchange rate movements continue to be as unpredictable and as significant as they have been in the past then by not using Smart Currency Exchange Ltd your property could cost you £256,505 more.
