Full Description
Aix-en-Provence. Le Tholonet. In the heart of the most confidential lands of Le Tholonet, at the foot of the mythical Montagne Sainte-Victoire, a property absolutely out of the ordinary reveals itself. Laden with history and emotion, this 16th-century bastide is one of those rare places that transcends time. Immortalized by painter Paul Cezanne, who captured its light and soul on canvas, it embodies the purest essence of Provence. Approximately 420 m² of living space (nearly 500 m² in total), the property centers on a main bastide of 335 m² and an elegant separate guest house. From the entrance, charm immediately operates. The bastide has preserved its authenticity while offering discreet, refined contemporary comfort. The kitchen, a true living space, retains its period character with rare elegance, designed to host and share. It opens onto a spectacular skylight, bathed in light, offering a striking panorama of the surrounding nature and the olive grove. The reception areas match the venue: a large living room with generous volumes, ideal for entertaining, extended by a smaller, more intimate reading lounge, perfect for reading or hosting a piano. The sleeping area comprises five suites of absolute refinement, each offering this spectacular background view. The study also benefits from this panorama. Outside, the estate reveals itself in full splendor, making it clear why this place inspired Cezanne. The olive grove, the property’s signature, enables the production of over 3 tons of olive oil, giving future owners the rare privilege of creating their own oil, in the pure Mediterranean tradition. The guest house, perfectly independent, has its own kitchen, a bedroom and a bathroom, with two separate entrances, ensuring comfort and privacy for hosting family or guests. A garage and a carport accommodate several vehicles with ease. But beyond the amenities, it is emotion that dominates. From the olive grove, the gaze wanders to Sainte-Victoire, offering a living spectacle at every hour of the day and immediate access to some of the region’s finest hiking trails. Only 5 minutes from Aix-en-Provence’s historic center, the location is simply perfect: intimate, preserved, and connected to one of the South of France’s most sought-after addresses. A unique property. A history. A signature. This property brings together all the codes of luxury real estate in Provence. Contact: Nathalie Normand +33(6)
