A few kilometers from center of Gordes, on one of the commune's agricultural foothills, large "1850" farmhouse comprising several stone buildings around an enclosed courtyard, full of authenticity and carefully renovated in the 1980s to retain all the charm of yesteryear. The property comprises a total of 4 dwellings with a usable area of over 650 m². Past the automatic wrought-iron gate, a small path lined with lavender leads to a parking area partly shaded by a pergola, and a huge plane tree enthroned in front of the front door.A half-level landing leads down to the beautiful reception rooms, including a sitting room, a bar area, a large hallway, a small reading room with fireplace, a superb vaulted formal dining room and a fully-equipped kitchen.Upstairs, a large hallway leads to master bedroom I with en-suite shower room and toilet, bedroom II with dressing room, bathroom and toilet, and bedroom III with en-suite shower room/toilet off the entrance landing, adjoining a laundry room.The kitchen opens onto a pretty terrace to the east, and to the south onto a sublime vaulted room opening onto the enclosed courtyard with its jasmine-covered walls and fountain. An outside staircase leads to 3 large independent rooms on the upper floor, including a huge dormitory.Comfort: many old materials, stone floors, wood joinery, oil-fired central heating (condensing boiler), mains water, Canal de Provence water for irrigation, 3 wells, 3 septic tanks. To the south, passing behind the artesian well, is an old threshing floor. Here, a small guest house with wrought-iron pergola stands on 2 levels (approx. 100 m²) and comprises a living room and kitchen on the ground floor, followed by 2 bedrooms, an office and a bathroom on the first floor. At the rear, a corridor leads to the farmhouse dormitory. To the side is a small garden workshop. Opposite is a cart and tractor shed, and behind is an old henhouse. As the tour unfolds, you'll come to appreciate the charm of this farmhouse, with its many original nooks and crannies steeped in history and memories, and its many terraces... which once housed an oil mill, a silkworm farm, a sheepfold and a stable.On the west side is a small independent dwelling, albeit adjoining the main central building, with its own road access. Approx. 60 m² in size, it comprises an attractive living room with open-plan kitchen, a bedroom with en-suite shower room and toilet. South-facing, in line with the façade, it enjoys a small private enclosed garden to one side.The pool area is located behind a low wall and partly sheltered by a lime tree. The 7 x 12-meter pool is tiled, has an automatic cover and is bordered by flagstone beaches. A small pool house houses a bar and barbecue.The grounds are landscaped (roses, cypresses, mulberry trees, flower beds) and automatically watered. As you move through the 6-hectare grounds, you'll discover 2 olive groves with a total of 250 olive trees, yielding around 200 liters of olive oil, vines offering 52 different types of table grapes, almond and other fruit trees, truffle oaks, meadows and oak woods. One of these shelters the property's last building, a superb cabanon converted into a gîte (living room with kitchenette downstairs, bedroom and shower room upstairs).The whole property offers remarkable views over the surrounding countryside to the Luberon, Alpilles and Monts de Vaucluse massifs, with no visible buildings other than an old, wingless mill.Everywhere, visitors experience an unusual sense of inner calm, as if a kind of ambient serenity were floating in the air of this rare place whose stones whisper and inspire its residents.
