Description
In the heart of an authentic Provencal village, just 20 minutes from Aix-en-Provence, this charming and elegant 260m2 period bastide has been tastefully renovated throughout. It is nestled in a remarkable 1,800m2 rock garden, originally designed in the early 20th century by true stone artists, and later restored by Marseille-based rocailleur Nicolas Gilly. This unique landscaped park, a true mineral work of art with its winding paths, pond, century-old trees, and sculpted perspectives, creates a magical and timeless atmosphere. A picturesque ruin, a vestige of the past, is discreetly hidden within the grounds, adding a romantic touch to the setting. You'll also discover a carved figure of an enigmatic character who seems to watch over the place like a silent guardian of this charming oasis. The house features a spacious and welcoming living room with a fireplace, a fully equipped kitchen opening onto a bright dining room, and direct access to the garden. On the ground floor, there is also a bedroom with a kitchenette, a shower room, and a separate entrance, ideal for hosting guests or creating an independent space. Upstairs, five cozy bedrooms, three beautifully finished bathrooms, a walk-in closet, a cellar, and a large attic complete the generous layout of this home. Outdoors, the charm continues: a traditional heated 10x4 m swimming pool with a pool house, a petanque court, a garage, a parking area with an electric vehicle charging station, and a unique stone outbuilding (registered) offering further development potential. The property is set in a peaceful environment, close to amenities, schools, lively local markets, and renowned cultural sites. The use of historic materials, exposed stonework, and harmonious proportions gives this home rare authenticity and a bucolic spirit, with open views of the surrounding hills. An exceptional property, blending heritage, landscape artistry, and the gentle Provencal way of life. Contact us for more details

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 £77,333 more.
