REDUCED in price - Nestled in the heart of the Aix countryside, this Provençal bastide offers an enchanting escape, a lifestyle blending authenticity and Mediterranean charm. Less than 10 minutes from the center of Aix-en-Provence, and just 5 minutes from the IBS business school, this property enjoys a rare and privileged setting, a true haven of serenity. The space unfolds.

From the entrance, on the west side, a welcoming room greets you, highlighted by an antique fireplace and discreet storage. The large, light-filled living room comes alive around a wood-burning stove, creating a warm and convivial atmosphere. The noble and timeless natural travertine flooring lends the whole space a mineral elegance. The fully equipped kitchen, open to the living area, invites you to share moments of culinary delights and enjoyment. A pantry discreetly and practically completes this level of living space.

Upstairs: Two large bedrooms, including a superb master suite with its polished concrete bathroom, combine comfort and style. A third, charming bedroom and a shower room with a walk-in shower complete the layout. Each bedroom has storage units adorned with antique doors, reminders of the past, which add a touch of timeless elegance.

The 23 sq m outbuilding at the rear houses an independent studio, offering a self-contained space for hosting friends or family. Outside: The 8,000 sq m grounds, generously landscaped with trees, unfold their shaded pathways and flowerbeds like an invitation to daydream.

Two terraces, one bordering the swimming pool and the other in front of the living room, offer relaxing spaces perfect for balmy summer evenings. And at the bend of a grove, a marvellous old wash house is revealed, like a poetic nod to Provence of yesteryear.

The elegantly tiled swimming pool is complemented by a furnished pool house, a true haven of conviviality and relaxation for summer days spent with family or friends.

Just 20 minutes from the TGV station and the airport, this bastide, with its preserved charm, perfectly embodies the Provencal art of living, combining old-world character, quality amenities, and modern comfort. Its enchanting setting, ideal location, and unique atmosphere make it a rare find, where every moment becomes precious.
