Description
Exceptional stone property for sale at the foot of the Ventoux
Nestled in a discreet elevation and sheltered by trees, this priory seems suspended in time. Erected in the 12th century, this former Benedictine priory has stood the test of time without losing its soul. It was also the home, in the late 20th century, of a renowned French novelist. Its transformation over the centuries has carefully preserved the authenticity of its ancient stone, its character-filled volumes, and a unique Provençal ambience.
Set on approximately 5,000 m² of land in the heart of nature, in absolute tranquillity, this exceptional property offers around 540 m² of living space. A true haven of peace, just minutes from Vaison-la-Romaine, ideal for a guest house or a large family home.
The layout unfolds across several wings, centred around shaded terraces, an olive garden, a fountain and a stunning heated swimming pool area (10 x 5 m). The vines, once the author’s summer dining room, are one of many invitations to rest and savour the view.
The private wing includes a large kitchen with fireplace, a cosy lounge opening onto the terrace and pool, a utility kitchen, a laundry room, two bedrooms (one with terrace), a bathroom, an office and a dressing room.
The reception area is arranged around a grand entrance and an impressive cathedral‑ceiling lounge in the former chapel with a fireplace insert, five bedrooms each with en‑suite shower and WC, a meeting room opening onto a terrace, a rooftop terrace, and a boiler/utility room.
Independently accessible are two additional bedrooms with shower and WC, plus a self‑contained gîte (bedroom/living area, kitchen, shower, laundry).
In total, the priory offers 10 bedrooms and 9 shower rooms, enriched by noble materials (ancient beams, terracotta and stone floors), geothermal underfloor heating, double glazing, well water, individual sanitation, electric car charging point, and several outbuildings and cellars.
The impeccably landscaped grounds boast mature Mediterranean species, providing shade and serenity.
Ideal for a family residence, peaceful retreat or continuation of a high‑end hospitality project, this exceptional property is rooted in the soul of the Mont Ventoux region, among vineyards, lavender fields, truffle groves and perched villages.
An inspiring, peaceful and vibrant place – to be discovered without delay.
