<p style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;line-height:115%;"><span style="font-family:'Calibri';font-size:11pt;">This former 16th-century water mill has been renovated to create a superb ‘Bastide Provençale'-style residence just a few minutes from Gordes, Goult, Bonnieux and Ménerbes, in an exceptional green setting in the Luberon valley.</span></p><p style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;line-height:115%;"><span style="font-family:'Calibri';font-size:11pt;"></span></p><p style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;line-height:115%;"><span style="font-family:'Calibri';font-size:11pt;">A large wrought iron gate opens onto a small driveway leading to a shaded parking area in front of a garage, a garden workshop and a well, all of which bear witness to a rich agricultural past.</span></p><p style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;line-height:115%;"><span style="font-family:'Calibri';font-size:11pt;"></span></p><p style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;line-height:115%;"><span style="font-family:'Calibri';font-size:11pt;">The elegant, imposing building housing the dwelling is to the west. With a total usable floor surface area of approx. 400 m² (4,305 sq ft), it stands out from the usual mas and farmhouses of the Luberon region because of the depth of the building.</span></p><p style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;line-height:115%;"><span style="font-family:'Calibri';font-size:11pt;">From the south-facing facade, you enter into a hallway that leads to a large living room on the right, a study with a fireplace then a kitchen and pantry on the left. The rooms are luminous thanks to the many windows.</span></p><p style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;line-height:115%;"><span style="font-family:'Calibri';font-size:11pt;">At the end of the hall, a fine staircase leads to the 1st floor landing, which leads to a very large master bedroom I with its full bathroom, a fully-fitted dressing room, bedrooms II and III, a shower room and a separate toilet.</span></p><p style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;line-height:115%;"><span style="font-family:'Calibri';font-size:11pt;">From the living room, there is a TV lounge, a small storeroom, a guest toilet with washbasin, the boiler room, the lady's workshop and the laundry room.</span></p><p style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;line-height:115%;"><span style="font-family:'Calibri';font-size:11pt;">A second central staircase leads to the upper floors of the eastern part of the buildings.</span></p><p style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;line-height:115%;"><span style="font-family:'Calibri';font-size:11pt;">On the 1st floor, a corridor gives access to a bedroom IV, a bathroom with wc, a bedroom V that communicates with a cosy playroom for young children due to its low ceilings.</span></p><p style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;line-height:115%;"><span style="font-family:'Calibri';font-size:11pt;">On the other side of the corridor is a beautiful room and the gentleman's workshop, which opens to the north.</span></p><p style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;line-height:115%;"><span style="font-family:'Calibri';font-size:11pt;">Continuing up the stairs from this room, you reach the 2nd floor in a large space currently used as a games room and home cinema, with sloping ceilings and exposed beams. To one side, a small terrace acts as a watchtower to the north.</span></p><p style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;line-height:115%;"><span style="font-family:'Calibri';font-size:11pt;">Finally, on the east side of the south facade is a very fine wine cellar and a small greenhouse for the owner's citrus fruit.</span></p><p style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;line-height:115%;"><span style="font-family:'Calibri';font-size:11pt;"></span></p><p style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;line-height:115%;"><span style="font-family:'Calibri';font-size:11pt;">To the rear, a small, almost enclosed courtyard leads to the 10 x 5 m pool area with paved decking and a large, semi-buried pool house with changing room and shower.</span></p><p style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;line-height:115%;"><span style="font-family:'Calibri';font-size:11pt;">The gently sloping grounds of more than 6,000 m² are in a protected agricultural zone. It is surrounded by vineyards and planted with exceptional century-old plane and lime trees, acacias, poplars and oaks, and landscaped to the south with a fountain, box trees, bay trees, gazebos, rose bushes and wisteria, all bordered by a small stream that once fed the mill.</span></p><p style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;line-height:115%;"><span style="font-family:'Calibri';font-size:11pt;"></span></p><p style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;line-height:115%;"><span style="font-family:'Calibri';font-size:11pt;">This is a rare property in this part of the Luberon, charming, noble and ideal for lovers of authentic Provence. The views over the countryside and the village of Gordes are a real bonus!</span></p>
