LUBERON: Spectacular views of the valley and Mont Ventoux in the background greet the owners and guests of this property which comprises of the principal residence and two luxurious gites. Relax around the swimming pool which enjoys stunning views over the valley and then after lunch play a few games of petanque (the local bowls game) on the field behind the pool. The interior and exterior photos really struggle to do it justice!
This eighteenth century farm set upon the plain has been beautifully restored keeping in touch with the authentic Provencale tradition. One of the very interesting aspects about this property are the shepherd's shelters called Bories made from a vault of stonework without mortar which are unique to this region and the actual Mas incorporates two of them and make up the nucleus of the main building.
The main features are: two expansive living rooms, three kitchens, two of which are open plan and include a dining area and one of the kitchens in the gites has the additional historic feature of having the original stone oven which has been beautifully preserved. There are eight bedrooms, seven bathrooms, five toilets, an office, double garage, cellar, large terrace, enclosed courtyard and sheltered outside dining area.
Additionally,there are three bories which are all stone traditional rustic outbuildings unique to the area or the shepherd's refuge. Also there is a building which houses a laundry, workshop/studio, and large farm shed. The caretaker's cottage at the entrance of the property comes with the caretaker (or not) as required. A third of the land has well established olive trees which are appellation (AOC) olive oil, there is a cherry orchard and a yielding truffle plantation.
The villages of Venasque and Le Beaucet are east and west of this estate; the former is perched high on an outcrop. It was known to be virtually impregnable with its roman road and is now officially recognised amongst the most beautiful villages in France. Le Beaucet village huddles in the shadow of its chateau and there is a large restoration project in train.

Location in France
The Vaucluse is an inland department of the Provence-Alpes-Côte-d'Azur region, and accommodates just under a half a million people. The department contains some of the most picturesque villages and unspoilt countryside that southern France has to offer, and places like Avignon and Orange are now considered quite trendy holiday spots for both the French and foreigners alike.
Avignon has some amazing ramparts, beautiffuly preserved, and a city teeming with history, culture and gorgeous architecture. The old lanes of Avignon are a treat, and there are many antique dealers should you want to purchase a small piece of local history. From the top of Avignon's ramparts one can survey the stunning Rhône Valley. From here it is easy to appreciate the town's strategic significance and its command over the surrounding region.
The town of Orange is located in the northern Vaucluse, amidst a formidable landscape, packed with lush vegetation, pine forests and towering mountains. It is reknowned for producing a large amount of honey. The town's name reflects the fact that the majority of the town's buildings are distinctly orange in colour. In 1530, Orange began to lend its trademarked colour to Holland, Northern Ireland, The Orange Free State and Orange, New Jersey.
To the south of the department, Luberon is a famous area, reknowned for quaint, typical french villages and magnificent castles.
The department does not have its own international airport as yet, and so Nimes or Marseille are the nearest airports, offering relatively easy access into the department. The train is also easy to access with TGV links to both cities as well as onward to Paris.
French houses and villas in this department are very desirable, and the proximity to the coast has an inevitable effect on property prices. The increased popularity of the area means it is often difficult to find any bargains or properties that need renovation, but stunning luxury homes and prestige properties are instead the order of the day!
