Full Description
Elegant,
Charming property composed of a main house as well as 2 outbuildings, located a
few minutes' walk from the center of the village of Gordes.
The
history of this property is closely linked with the underground spring which
supplies the old well and its vaulted stone cistern, buried and cut into the
rock. The first owners of this place away from the village developed it into an
"enclosure", half vegetable garden, half priest's garden around the
18th century, where they built a remarkable Tower with its pyramidal roof in
old tiles, in the style of a “Folie”, both sober and very simple!
You
enter the property through a large electric gate, into a parking area where
there is an awning for 2 cars.
The
front door of the main house (east side) opens onto a large glassed connecting corridor,
between the superb bright living room thanks to its numerous bay windows which
also offer cross views, and then the formal dining room. Continuing the visit,
we enter a large kitchen with dining area, small living room and office corner.
At the back a scullery and a laundry/technical room. Finally, the west gable is
occupied by a bedroom I on garden level with its bathroom and toilet at the
rear.
A
staircase hidden behind large cupboards provides access to the first floor,
where there are bedroom Ii with its bathroom and toilet at the back, and
finally the very large bedroom Iii with wide bay windows, its bathroom and
toilet.
A few
meters from the main house, on the west side, is a small, long guest house,
which includes a living room, a small lounge, a bedroom Iv, a kitchen and a
bathroom. A private garden area is enhanced by a partly glazed outdoor lounge
and a small awning.
Slightly
below in the middle of a sublime priest's garden decorated with boxwood and
olive trees, is this adorable Tower in ocher coating. A double staircase
provides access to a landing which goes around it, covered by a small awning to
the south. There a glass door gives access to bedroom V where a small wrought
iron spiral staircase provides access to a dressing room with toilet upstairs.
Under the Tower, at the lower garden level, there is a glazed veranda-type
living room, a small kitchen and a bathroom with toilet.
Finally,
about twenty meters in the southwest corner of the property, the 6 x 6 meters
swimming pool with a small pool house (awning and technical room) and a
stone-paved beach complete the constructions.
Comfort:
total usable surface area of 345 m² with careful renovation, old materials,
heating underfloor or with radiators by heat pump, reversible air conditioning, wood stove, city water + spring, septic tank, fiber optic internet.
The
garden is wonderful, mixing oaks, olive trees, magnolia, fruit trees and old
cypresses with beds of shrubs and flowers, beautiful lawns and Gordes stones
used as borders, stairs, low walls, fence walls, Japanese steps, etc.
The
Whole of more than 3800 m² is enchanting, conducive to relaxation where
everyone will find their little corner of paradise!
