Located between St Remy, Avignon and Tarascon, this unusual and beautiful property, originally dating from the 15th century was once a stopping point for pilgrims on the way to Santiago de Compostela. It is a large house with numerous original features, most of which are over 200 years old and is set in over 20 hectares of land, with fields to the south and hills and forest immediately behind the property to the north.
The villa has recently been extensively renovated and designed with a clever and thoughtful mixture of antiques and contemporary furnishings. The interior is very spacious with high ceilings and stone floors in most of the rooms. The house has three different living rooms, four large bedrooms, with either air conditioning or ceiling fans, all with en-suite bathrooms, with two smaller bedrooms, ideally suited for young children or staff.
Outside, to the front of the house, there is an original Curate's garden, a large orchard and fields complete with donkeys. In between the two main parts of the house, close to the kitchen and dining room, there is a terrace with an attractive wrought iron table and chairs, large enough to sit 12 comfortably. To the back of the house there is a pretty cypress walk way, which leads to the swimming pool, with pool house, rattan loungers, chairs and BBQ. There is ample parking space to the side of the property.

Entering the front door in the oldest part of the house, through a welcoming hallway there are two living rooms, one used as a TV room and the other a music room. There is also a separate WC here. Off the hall there are stairs leading to the two small bedrooms and a small children's games room or study. Back on the ground floor, there is a hall leading to a large modern, fully equipped kitchen and dining room. There is a laundry room and another WC to the back of the kitchen, whilst through another hall there is a third very comfortably furnished living room, complete with an original and vast fireplace.
On the first floor via a large and impressive second staircase there are four double bedrooms, all with great views and with en-suite bathrooms.
