Exclusive Janssens Vaison – Exceptional Stone Property for Sale at the Foot of Mont Ventoux
Nestled within a discreet natural setting and sheltered by mature trees, this priory seems untouched by time. Built in the 12th century, this former Benedictine priory has gracefully endured through the centuries while preserving its soul. At the end of the 20th century, it also became the residence of a renowned French novelist. Its transformation over time has carefully maintained the authenticity of its ancient stonework, its character-filled volumes, and the unique atmosphere that embodies Provence.
Set on approximately 5,000 sqm of land in the heart of nature and enjoying absolute tranquillity, this remarkable property offers around 540 sqm of living space. A true haven of peace, located just minutes from Vaison-la-Romaine, it is perfectly suited as a luxury guesthouse business or an exceptional family home.
The living spaces are arranged across several wings, connected by shaded terraces, an olive garden, a fountain, and a beautiful heated swimming pool (10 x 5 m). The vine-covered pergola, once the summer dining room of the novelist, is one of the many places inviting contemplation.
The private accommodation includes a spacious kitchen with fireplace, a cosy sitting room opening onto the terrace and swimming pool, a pantry, a laundry room, two bedrooms (one with a private terrace), a bathroom, an office and a dressing room.
The reception area is centred around an elegant entrance hall and a vast cathedral-ceiling lounge created within the former chapel, featuring an insert fireplace. It also offers five guest bedrooms, each with its own shower room and WC, a meeting room opening onto a terrace, a rooftop terrace, and a boiler/storage room.
Accessible independently are two additional guest bedrooms with shower rooms and WC, as well as a fully equipped cottage comprising a bedroom/living area, kitchen, shower room and laundry room.
In total, the priory offers 10 bedrooms and 9 bathrooms. The property features noble materials throughout, including exposed beams, terracotta floors and natural stone. Additional amenities include pellet-fired central heating, double glazing, private well water, individual drainage system, electric vehicle charging station, storage rooms and wine cellars.
The beautifully landscaped grounds are planted with magnificent mature Mediterranean species, providing shade, privacy and serenity.
Ideal as a family estate, a peaceful retreat, or a luxury hospitality business, this exceptional property embodies the spirit of the Mont Ventoux region, surrounded by vineyards, lavender fields, truffle oaks and picturesque hilltop villages.
More than a historic residence, this is a property with a true identity. A rare place where history, character and elegance combine to create an exceptional lifestyle.
