This property is presented by Knight Frank snc.
A rare opportunity to purchase an historic Provencal Bastide on the outskirts of the highly regarded town of Bonnieux. Delightfully located in the Luberon, Le Colombier dates back to the 1800s and having been in the present owner's hands for circa 15 years has been the subject of an extensive and sensitive modernisation program. The house retains many of the original features, which include high ceilings, elegant staircases, stone flooring, period fireplaces and elegant windows.
The ground floor comprises a very welcoming reception hall with an impressive staircase. A fine drawing room has a feature fireplace and large windows overlooking the impressive garden. Central hallway leading to a family TV lounge, snug and office. A magnificent dining area with an open fireplace, fitted display units, stone floorings and plentiful windows overlooking the garden. There is a light and spacious kitchen/breakfast room with a range of painted wall and floor units, a pantry, a walk-in fridge an Aga and a wood-burning stove. Doors lead to the terraced area which surrounds the house and is ideal for al fresco dining. There is a lobby with a door to the outside, a boot room and an impressive cellar, ideal for storage.
The first floor offers the principal bedroom suite – a bright room with a feature fireplace and door leading to a dressing room with fitted wardrobes, a bathroom, plus a separate cloakroom. There are also three double bedrooms with en suite bathrooms, a further double bedroom, an upstairs utility room and a separate shower room with a walk-in shower and WC.
Up a staircase, the 2nd floor comprises three more double bedrooms, a single bedroom, a hobby room and a bathroom. An ideal area for teenagers.
The pool house—which is sometimes used as an art studio—offers generous spaces to play, rest, and soak up the majestic views. It also has bathrooms and showers, as well as a treatment room for tired limbs. Upstairs comprises a bedroom with a feature fireplace, a media room/office space, a small kitchen area, and another bedroom.
Approached up a secluded tree-lined avenue and through gates on to the gravel driveway, the home sits in extensive gardens and grounds.
The gardens feature richly planted herbaceous borders, mature trees with an array of truffle oaks and mature fruits, hedging, and a formal garden area which is mainly laid with lawn and flagstone terracing for outdoor entertaining and dining. A lightly wooded area in the grounds ensures year-round privacy from neighbours, and wildflower meadows and lavender fields extend with views over the valley and as far as Mont Ventoux.
As one wanders through the gardens, one finds raised beds, a cutting greenhouse, and a private swimming pool within a walled area.
Le Colombier is nestled in the heart of France's romantic and scenic Luberon Valley and a short distance from the picturesque and lively hilltop village of Bonnieux. As an area of outstanding natural beauty and famed for its fabulous vineyards, blossom, and
ancient woodland, the region is also well accessed by road and air links to Avignon and Aix-en-Provence tgv station, as well as to Marseille and Nice International Airports.
The nearby towns and villages have all of the necessary amenities, including a great selection of cafes, restaurants and bars, as well as a superb market with vendors of exceptional local and fresh produce.
