Forcalquier, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur 04300

An entirely renovated 17th-century mill, with its swimming pool and outbuildings on 7, 500-m grounds, to the north of the Luberon Mountains. Thanks to its environment and impeccable preservation, the property enjoys a verdant setting where a river still supplies water to the mill. From a secondary B road, a lane winds its way through a forest of live oaks, before reaching the mill, built in a clearing at the top of a small hill and accessible via a carriage entrance at the end of a gravel drive. Shielded by a curtain of vegetation, a peaceful river borders one side of the property's fertile grounds, while, a little further on, a wooden pedestrian gate, located at the top of a flight of stone steps and framed by two cypresses, opens on to the swimming pool area, concealed from view by a pointed stone building on one side and a hedge on the other. In addition, behind the carriage entrance, three buildings, one of which is placed at a right angle, are grouped around a central cobblestone courtyard, which is closed off on one side by a low stone wall overlooking the grounds. Topped with barrel tile roofs, the one crowning the main dwelling is highlighted by a double genoise cornice.
