For Sale: A Beautiful 16th-Century Bastide in the Provence

Live the French countryside dream! Bastide de Saumane is a beautifully restored 16th-century property in the Provence town of Saumane De Vaucluse with breathaking views over Lubéron National Park and the French Alps (and oh yeah, it’s also for sale!).

Wrought-iron gates and a long Cypress-lined drive lead to the breathtaking 16th-century property surrounded by landscaped gardens. During the centuries the bastide has had many functions, from a tile-making factory in the 17th-century to a Benedictine Priory in the 18th-century and a silkworm farm in the 19th-century. Nowadays Bastide de Saumane is a luxury holiday property that can house up to 18 people divided over 9 bedrooms.

The Provencal estate is situated on a 35 acre park with beautiful landscaped gardens including an infinity pool and a tennis court. But perhaps the best feature of the garden are the breathaking views over the surrounding countryside.

This propery lives and breathes French charm. From the beautiful indoor space with exposed wood and stone to the gorgeous gardens under the Provence sun. A dream come true for everyone who wants to live the French dream. It’s not for everyone though because Bastide de Saumane is for sale at Sotheby’s for the price of €12.000.000.
