In the heart of the village of Gordes, just a stone's throw from the castle square and all the shops and restaurants, this authentic stone village house has been lovingly renovated and is set in a dominant position.
The elegant traditional facades house a singular and impressively serene contemporary interior. Inspired by Japan, the Swiss designers behind the project have selected wood panelling, stone, marble and granite that blend together to create a stunningly refined result. Each part of the home, with a total of 160m² of usable space over 4 levels, has been designed to combine design and practicality.
The entrance is via the north alleyway and opens onto the living room with fireplace and kitchen, extending onto a south-facing living terrace, in a quiet location, protected from the Mistral wind by a retractable awning. From this terrace, as from every door and window in the house, you can enjoy uninterrupted panoramic views over the valley.
On the first floor, a landing leads to the spacious, light-filled bedroom I on the right. To the rear is a bathroom and dressing room. To the left is a shower room and wc.
Continuing up the staircase to the second floor, there is a large living room that has been converted into a reading room with an gas fireplace, a study area and a TV/home cinema area.
A second staircase in the entrance hall leads down to level -1, where there is bedroom Ii with its own shower room and separate toilet. A door opens directly onto the lower alleyway, making this level independent.
Behind a glazed partition, a small marble staircase leads down to an old vaulted cellar in which a small indoor marble swimming pool has been dug, heated with a dehumidification system and counter-current swimming. To the side is a small deck with a shower. The large steel windows let in plenty of light and allow you to enjoy the view over the valley, even when submerged in the pool.
In front of this wellness area is a small courtyard sheltered by the terrace, with access to the utility/laundry/boiler room and to the lane via a wooden gate.
Comfort: quality fittings and wood and wrought iron joinery, a layout worthy of the greatest naval architects, electric underfloor heating on the ground floor and radiators on the other levels, mains water, mains drainage, softener, fibre optics.
This is a rare property for sale, an ideal pied à terre in the heart of the most beautiful village in the world, benefiting from a very privileged location and making it an exceptional property.
