In Avignon, exlusive mansion with outbuilding and swimming pool on more than 1 hectare

A stone's throw from the historic centres of Avignon and Villeneuve-lès-Avignon, a unique estate consisting of a mansion dating from 1867, a caretaker's house and a swimming pool in a park of over 1.26 hectares.

From the street, almost in the town centre, one enters through a large wrought iron gate, following a path that winds through the greenery in the shelter of a small cliff. On arrival, one discovers an astonishing building of Italian inspiration, composed of 2 floors on a garden level, itself already perched at the top of the stairs.

This elegant mansion house of approx. 360 m² has beautiful reception rooms with fireplaces that open onto a 17.5 m wide shaded terrace overlooking the wooded park. It was once a cultural centre for the "Félibres"who where famous Provencal writers and painters such as Mistral, Roumanille, Aubanel, Daudet, Mallarmé and Mérimée.
To the side is an office, and to the rear the kitchen and a large scullery complete the ground floor.
A beautiful staircase leads from the study to the first floor. The 4 bedrooms, distributed by a corridor, open onto a large terrace on the south side.
To the north, a shower room, a bathroom and a linen room.

On the second floor, bedrooms V and VI each have a very large private terrace. To the north, a bathroom and a study.

Comfort: central heating with 2 recent heat pumps, original cement tiles, old floor tiles, marquetry and gypsum work complete the decor of this Italian-style house with numerous terraces on all floors overlooking the surrounding greenery. Drilling + town water and mains drainage. Some refreshments are to be expected.

Going down the few steps from the house, the serenity of the park invites you to take a walk. A few metres to the east is a 6 x 12 metre heated swimming pool, also surrounded by greenery and not overlooked.

A caretaker's cottage, a real caretaker's lodge from the middle of the 20th century, of almost 50 m², is situated at the entrance to the park. It is fitted with a lounge, a kitchen, a dining area, two bedrooms and a shower room. It has a small garden and private parking.

The charm of this green complex, where the members of the famous Félibrige of the middle of the 19th century once enjoyed meeting, is extremely attractive. It is possible to go for a walk in its own fully enclosed park, landscaped with holm oaks, box trees, laurels and lawns, while being in the immediate vicinity of all the main roads, of the TGV station of Avignon and of the centre of one of the most beautiful French historical cities.
