Sold directly by the owners · net price, no agency commission
A house where everyone comes together
In the morning, light pours into the kitchen and breakfast is taken under the vine-covered pergola, looking out over the vines. The day is shared between the pool, the tennis court and the shade of century-old pines. In the evening, the long table seats sixteen on the terrace while the Sainte-Victoire turns from pink to blue. Seven bedrooms, seven bathrooms: everyone has their own space, and everyone comes together.
Your horses a few steps away, with no yard to run
The villa adjoins the Haras des Templiers, a well-regarded livery yard in the Aix countryside that often keeps competition horses. From the grounds, the view stretches straight across their paddocks and horses, with the Sainte-Victoire as a backdrop.
Living here means having your horses a few steps away while entrusting their livery and care to a long-established professional team: no stables to maintain, no staff to manage, no farming obligations. You walk across, you ride, you come back for lunch under the pergola.
The view, in motion
A slow pan across the grounds, the pool and the cypresses, out to the blue line of the Sainte-Victoire mountain: the open horizon that makes this place so rare.
Seen from the grounds, in Puyricard, facing the Sainte-Victoire.
A Provençal villa of character, room by room
Built in the 1950s, renovated in the 2000s and lovingly maintained since 2022, the villa offers around 300 m² (3,230 sq ft) of living space, all on one level, flooded with light, with the natural coolness of thick old walls in summer and a fireplace for winter. Click a photo to enlarge it.
A single-storey house, designed for entertaining. Everything is on one level, with no stairs, from the living areas to the bedrooms: a rare comfort for a family home where several generations live side by side. The living areas, a sitting room with fireplace, a snug, the kitchen and a table for up to 16, flow out to the terraces, the pergola and the vine arbour. Each of the seven bedrooms has its own bathroom; several look onto the pool, the others onto the quiet enclosed courtyard on the bedroom side. Outbuildings: a cabanon and a workshop. Fibre internet, parking, Canal de Provence water for the house and the land.
7 bedrooms, 7 bathrooms
From the master suite to the large family room, every bedroom has its own bathroom. Room for children, friends and grandparents under one roof, without anyone getting in each other's way.
Seven private bathrooms, five with a shower and two with a bath and shower, each with its own character.
Olive trees, a family vineyard and the Sainte-Victoire
The estate extends over 3.3 hectares (8.2 acres) of enclosed land in a single block, entirely unoverlooked: 30 olive trees, century-old pines and cypresses frame a preserved Mediterranean setting, and the eye travels straight to the Sainte-Victoire mountain, so dear to Cézanne, which changes colour with the hours.
Among the olive trees flows the Roman spring that gave the house its name. A little further on, a small family vineyard of about 1 hectare in the AOC Coteaux d'Aix-en-Provence (Cabernet Sauvignon, Grenache and Syrah, planted in 2002-2003) is farmed to High Environmental Value standards: enough to make your own wine, on a convivial scale, with no farming obligations.
Private pool and floodlit tennis court
Two rare, entirely private amenities at the heart of the grounds: a 12 x 6 metre pool edged with sunny terraces, sun loungers and a hammock under the pines, and a floodlit tennis court for play into the evening. A villa with pool and tennis court in Aix-en-Provence is a rare find.

Villa for sale in Aix-en-Provence: key facts
Good to know
Where is the villa?
In Puyricard, 8 minutes from Aix-en-Provence, in the heart of the Provençal countryside, with an open view of the Sainte-Victoire mountain. Aix TGV station is 20 minutes away (3 hours to Paris) and Marseille-Provence airport 30 minutes.
What are the surface areas?
Around 300 m² (3,230 sq ft) of living space, all on one level, plus outbuildings (a cabanon and a workshop), on 3.3 hectares (8.2 acres) of enclosed land in a single block.
How many bedrooms and bathrooms?
7 bedrooms and 7 private bathrooms (5 with a shower, 2 with a bath and shower), including a master suite and a large family bedroom sleeping four.
Has the villa been renovated?
Yes. Built in the 1950s, it was renovated in the 2000s and has been carefully maintained since 2022, keeping its Provençal character.
What is the energy rating, and what works would improve it?
The property is rated E for energy and E for carbon, with oil-fired heating (wood-burning back-up). A single piece of work, replacing the boiler with a heat pump for heating and hot water, would bring an estimated rating of C and cut the bill substantially (heating oil accounts for about €3,500 of the ~€5,500 annual energy cost).
What are the annual running costs?
Property tax €5,074 a year, energy around €5,500 a year (electricity ~€2,000, heating oil ~€3,500), water around €800 a year.
Can I make my own wine, and who looks after the vines?
Yes. The family vineyard of about 1 hectare in the AOC Coteaux d'Aix-en-Provence (Cabernet Sauvignon, Grenache and Syrah, planted in 2002-2003) is farmed to HVE level 3 standards and lets you produce your own wine on a convivial scale. The vines are currently tended by the Domaine des Quatre Tours, which carries out the vineyard work and the winemaking: the new owner has no farming obligations and may continue this arrangement if they wish.
Can the estate be let as a holiday home?
Yes, and it already is: the villa is let for short stays from €1,000 a night, with 37 five-star reviews on Google. The energy rating E meets the threshold currently applying to furnished tourist lets in France, and the estimated move to C would secure this activity against future regulation. You can also stay in the villa before you decide.
Is the villa suitable for a horse owner?
Yes, this is one of its rarest assets, provided you understand what it is: a character villa with its grounds, not an equestrian property. It adjoins the Haras des Templiers, a well-regarded livery yard in the Aix countryside that often keeps competition horses, and the grounds look straight onto their paddocks. A horse owner can live a few steps from their horses while entrusting their livery and care to a professional team, with no stables to maintain and no staff to manage.
Is the neighbouring stud part of the sale?
No. The Haras des Templiers is an independent business run by third parties and is not part of the property being sold. The villa adjoins it and the grounds look onto its paddocks, which allows a horse owner to live a few steps from their horses while arranging livery with the yard, subject to availability. The property itself has no boxes, arena, indoor school or paddocks.
How does the sale work, and how can I view?
The sale is handled directly by the owners, at €2,800,000 net to the seller. The transaction is secured by a French notaire, as with any property sale in France, and a full file (surveys, plans) is provided to qualified buyers. International buyers are welcome; we can put you in touch with an English-speaking notaire. Viewings by appointment: +33 6 60 06 12 34 or lasourcevilla@gmail.com.
