Saint-Saturnin-lès-Apt
Built in the 18th century and meticulously restored, this Provençal bastide embodies a rare and accomplished interpretation of the Provençal art of living. It masterfully blends the authenticity of its historic structure, timeless elegance, and contemporary comfort. Ideally located on the edge of the sought-after and lively village of Saint-Saturnin-lès-Apt, it offers a perfect balance between village life and tranquility. Nestled in the heart of the Luberon, in a protected natural environment, the property benefits from a south-facing aspect and unobstructed views of the Luberon mountains. This exceptional setting provides an atmosphere of serenity and absolute privacy, while allowing easy access, in just a few minutes on foot, to the shops, restaurants, and activities of a village that thrives year-round. Offering approximately 300 square meters of living space, the house is spread over three levels, each bathed in natural light. Behind a striking studded wooden door, the ground floor boasts spacious and generously proportioned reception areas: a living room with beautiful views of the surrounding landscape, a bright dining room, and a winter lounge with a stone fireplace, perfect for cozy gatherings. Adjoining this is the high-end, fully equipped Fabre kitchen, featuring a Lacanche range cooker, and a discreet yet functional pantry. On the same level, a bedroom with an en-suite shower room and direct access to the garden can also serve as an office. A guest toilet and a utility room complete this level. A staircase paved with antique terracotta tiles leads to the first floor, where two elegant suites each have their own bathroom and dressing area. On the top floor, a majestic suite impresses with its high ceilings and stunning exposed beams. It comprises a full bathroom with a shower and bathtub, a dressing room, and a separate toilet, all within a refined and intimate atmosphere. The property is revealed at the end of a secluded, tree-lined driveway. Beyond a majestic wrought-iron gate, a superb bastide unfolds on over 7,000 m² of fully enclosed grounds. A fifth independent suite, complete with a shower room, dressing room, and toilet, provides privacy for family and friends. The exterior spaces have been designed as seamless extensions of the house, creating a natural flow between indoors and out. A covered summer kitchen, crafted from local stone, offers a welcoming and elegant space, ideal for any season. The 10 x 5 m swimming pool is nestled within a meticulously landscaped setting, enhanced by a spacious solid wood deck and complemented by an outdoor shower. The garden, equipped with an automatic watering system, features beautiful local species, including an olive grove, and benefits from carefully designed lighting that highlights the grounds at dusk. A landscaped parking area, complete with a carport, further enhances the exterior amenities. In 2024, the property underwent a complete, top-of-the-range renovation by a certified professional specializing in period homes. The fine materials and exceptional finishes—exposed beams, stonework, and handcrafted ironwork—blend harmoniously with modern amenities for optimal comfort: double glazing, reversible air conditioning, mains water, fiber optic internet, an alarm system, and a compliant septic tank. Nothing was left to chance. Agency fees are payable by the buyer, amounting to 5.01% including VAT of the price excluding fees.
