Details

Situated in a quiet countryside setting in Oppede, this lovely old farmhouse is set right in the heart of an agricultural plot of 3.7 hectares with an olive grove of 200 trees and 2.5 hectares of vines in AOC Luberon.

This property has exceptional views and benefits from the calm of the countryside, whilst being ideally located close to the village of Oppede, shops and restaurants, and in the heart of the most beautiful sites of the Luberon.

Remarkably restored, the building and its outbuildings have a total living area of around 450m2, which beautifully combines the charm of the old with the contemporary: many sections of interior walls in exposed stone have been preserved, as have the old fireplaces and the frames, giving overall a warm atmosphere.

This happy marriage of noble materials such as wood and stone can be found in the main house with its friendly atmosphere. On the ground floor, the entrance opens onto a large, very cosy living-dining room with its elegant stone fireplace and its view of the magnificent garden, then a winter living room, a bar area and a very functional kitchen with its central island and its scullery. In addition to these living spaces, there is a large technical room, a linen room, a sauna and a wine cellar.

Upstairs, there are 2 very spacious and comfortable suites, each with bathroom and WC, with for the master suite a small connecting bedroom which can be used as an office or even a very large dressing room and a 3rd large bedroom.

Adjoining the main house, a second building (which could easily be connected to the main farmhouse by carrying out some work), 2 suites on the ground floor with a bathroom and WC. An outside staircase provides access to a terrace with a superb views, overlooking the swimming pool, Oppede-le-View and the Luberon hills. This terrace is also the entrance to the 3rd suite, very large with its private living room and shower room.

These top-of-the-range services are found in the particularly elegant, enclosed garden. Selected vegetation, superbly trimmed trees and cypresses, dry stone walls, remarkably structure the space: French-style garden in the interior courtyard of the main house, tables, chairs and deck-chairs installed on the lawn around the swimming pool heated 10 x 10m to enjoy the view of the olive grove and the Luberon. A large pool house and next to it, a summer kitchen and dining room as well as a shower, a large 28m2 room that one could imagine transformed into a fitness room or a suite complete this exceptional space.

A bowling alley, a garage of 60m2, electric gate and automatic lighting complete the high quality services of this property.

In order to respect the environment, the energy chosen for the heating and air conditioning of the house is geothermal energy, the automatic watering of the garden is done with water from the Canal de Provence.

This property is a true concentrate of the art of living in Provence.

France Property Buying Guide

Guide to the French Buying Process

1. Signing the Agreement (Compris)
On finding a property you wish to purchase you will need to negotiate the terms, price and conditions of the sale with the owner. The next step, once you are in agreement, is to sign the preliminary contract (Compromis de Vente). This is a legal document and after ten days will be binding on both parties. Rules change frequently in France and it is best to consult with your notary about when this period starts. Generally the compris will be signed in France with the Agent. Variants can be included in the compris, for example an Acte (clause) can be added if the name or names to go on the title deed have not been finalised. If a mortgage will be required to purchase the property, the details for this, including the name of the mortgage company, must be on the compris.

2. Paying the Deposit
Generally the deposit will be 10% of the agreed purchase price. This will normally be paid to the notaire. There are exceptions to this, if the agent holds a carte professionelle, is bonded and fully registered then you may pay them, but do not hand over the deposit to anyone else. If for some reason the purchase does not go through, for example, if you write to the notaire and the agent that you do not wish to go continue with the purchase before the contract is binding (within seven days of signing the compris), then your deposit would be repaid. This would also apply if a condition had not been met, or the mayor or S.A.F.E.R. (a government agency that has the right of first purchase on most rural property that comes onto the market in France) could oblige the purchaser to give way. If you decide after the seven days 'cooling off' period that you do not wish to complete the purchase and pull out of the sale you would lose your deposit. If however the vendor pulls out of the sale then you will receive your deposit back plus the same amount from the vendor.

3. On Completion
Generally it will take around two or three months to complete the purchase. During this time the balance of the purchase money must be paid into the account of the notaire, this must be done well ahead of the completion date. The notaire will prepare the documents, check that the deed of sale (Acte de Vente) is in order and have the legal title ready to be signed over. It is possible to have someone sign on your behalf if you give them power of attorney. An interpreter may be of use at this point if your French is not very good and many Notaires will suggest (or insist) that an interpreter is with you.
