Full Description
A unique property at an exceptional address.
Superb realization with high end services for this contemporary property whose volumes are multiplied tenfold by the panoramic views.
The house is made up of two modules, which are currently independent but can eventually be linked together.
The main house is accessed via a beautiful entrance hall that acts as an airlock between inside and outside, a vestibule transformed into an art gallery. This first space leads to a large garage, then a storeroom and a room housing all the house's technical equipment: server, electricity, softener, elevator machinery, etc., a guest toilet and, last but not least, a beautiful dark wooden staircase highlighted by a luminous railing, a common thread inviting visitors to the upper floor. The elevator also has its place here.
The upper level welcomes visitors to a breathtaking living room, where the wall is entirely glazed to reveal the dominant view. A suspended partition, housing the wood-burning insert and Hi-FI equipment, cleverly acts as a filter between the living area and the kitchen/dining area, with its equally spectacular view. The kitchen, fitted with top-of-the-range equipment (Miele, V-Zug...), was designed and custom-built in the same beautiful stained oak that covers the doors and cupboards in the rest of the house. The large picture windows are like living paintings:
-from the living room and terrace, south-facing views of the village and its emblematic church, old roofs and beautiful Provencal vegetation playing in the sunlight
-views to the east over the Alpilles mountains - which you can almost touch - from the terrace adjoining the kitchen
-southeast views from the dining room, which opens onto two terraces
-south-west views from the master suite and its private terrace, for unique sunsets
north-facing views of the Alpilles, high up in the mountains, like a causse, for a meditative atmosphere.
This ambience was chosen by the owners, who wanted to subtly infuse this contemplative atmosphere by playing with high-quality materials, open spaces, precise finishes and warm wood, all in dialogue with the omnipresent works of art. The art of finesse and precision.
The night area on this main level opens with a connecting corridor featuring two offices facing each other to admire the opposing views, followed by a first dressing room, a vast laundry room, a bathroom (bath and shower) with a panoramic south-facing view, a second dressing room and the bedroom with its double view: south facing the bed and west through the opening onto the terrace.
Like an eagle's nest, this level not only overlooks the village, but also provides access to the Alpilles via a private gate opening directly onto nature.
The second part of the house also opens onto an entrance hall that leads to a first suite opening onto the terrace, as well as to the living area with a lounge opening onto the terrace, its fully-equipped kitchen, and two other suites still opening onto the terrace or garden. The amenities are of the same high standard as the main level.
As for the garden, it's an extension of the interior, treated in the same way, without partitioning volumes but where everyone can find refuge, a vast main terrace, another more private one, a sunken pool area, and the car space for easy access to the double garage. The whole is immersed in greenery and ancient Mediterranean essences and others judiciously planted. An air of Corsican maquis, between architectural discretion and breathtaking views.
A house like a jewel box.
