This property was originally a Commandery of the Knights Templar built in the twelfth century. Some of the facades and roofs are listed and protected by order of August 5, 1976. Built in a dominant position at the top of the small village of Joucas, it offers an exceptional point of view on the Luberon valley.
This property of about 650 m² comprises a main house of 3 levels on terrace and courtyard, with beautiful receptions, fitted kitchen, 6 en suite bedrooms, an old chapel, a wine cellar, a tower / pool house and a heated infinity pool on the valley of 15 x 5 m. Each living space is articulated around terraces, lined with plantations so as not to make the whole too mineral.
At the back an independent caretaker's apartment (2 bedrooms), a technical & storage room and a garage.
The ground of nearly 5000 m² in the center of the village is enclosed with walls. It is in slight slope, organized in stone terraces and entirely landscaped. Slightly lower than the house, it is embellished with many species, grassed pavements and an elegant pond with fountain.
Acquired in the 1950s by Parisians who had restored it to live there for fifty years, the ROSIER agency sold this property in 2006 to the current owner, who undertook Pharaonic work that lasted 4 years. He has completely redone all the buildings, while keeping the original structure intact. The rebuilding was made in local stone, most of the materials used are old and of very high quality (stone floors, beams and frames), all the frames of solid wood and wrought iron are custom made, all networks, home automation, elevator, sanitary as well as heating and air conditioning systems are new. The very cosy and practicle kitchen by Mouvement is adapted for a family use or by a private chef. The result makes it a unique property with an exceptional level of finish and comfort!
