facing the Sainte-Victoire."Puyricard · Aix-en-Provence
Olive trees, a family vineyard & the Sainte-Victoire
The estate stretches over 3 hectares (7.4 acres) in a single block: 30 olive trees, century-old pines and cypresses that frame an unspoilt Mediterranean setting, and a small family vineyard of about 1 hectare in AOC Coteaux d'Aix-en-Provence — all with an open view of the Sainte-Victoire mountain dear to Cézanne.
The vineyard — Cabernet Sauvignon, Grenache and Syrah, planted in 2002-2003 — is farmed under High Environmental Value certification (HVE level 3): enough to make your own wine, with respect for the terroir and no commercial-farming obligation.

An estate that bears the name of its spring

Villa for Sale Aix-en-Provence: specifications
Good to know
Where is the villa located?
The villa is in Puyricard, 8 minutes from Aix-en-Provence, in the heart of the Provençal countryside, with an open view of the Sainte-Victoire mountain. It is about 30 minutes from Marseille-Provence airport and 20 minutes from the Aix TGV high-speed rail station.
What are the surface areas?
This villa near Aix-en-Provence offers about 300 m² (3,230 sq ft) of living space, plus outbuildings (garden shed & workshop), set in 3 hectares (7.4 acres / 30,000 m²) of walled grounds in a single block.
How many bedrooms and bathrooms?
The estate has 7 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms, ideal as a large house for entertaining or a prestige family residence.
Is there a pool and a tennis court?
Yes. A private pool and a private floodlit tennis court, entirely private, are set at the heart of the grounds, with no overlook.
Does the estate have a vineyard?
Yes — a small family vineyard of about 1 hectare in AOC Coteaux d'Aix-en-Provence (Cabernet Sauvignon, Grenache and Syrah, planted in 2002-2003), farmed under High Environmental Value certification (HVE level 3), so you can make your own wine. Both the house and the agricultural land are supplied by the Canal de Provence.
Is the villa suitable for riders and horse owners?
Yes — it is one of its rarest assets: the villa adjoins the Haras des Templiers, a well-known equestrian centre near Aix-en-Provence, and the grounds look directly onto its paddocks and horses, with no overlooking neighbours. An ideal location for a rider or horse owner wishing to live a few steps from the stables (livery to be arranged directly with the haras, subject to availability).
Has the villa been renovated?
Yes. This Provençal villa was built in the 1950s and renovated in the early 2000s, combining Provençal charm with the comforts of today.
What is the energy rating (DPE)?
The property is rated E for energy and E for greenhouse gas on France's official DPE scale. Heating is provided by an oil-fired boiler (with wood backup); estimated annual energy cost is around €5,500. Good to know: simply replacing the oil boiler with a heat pump for heating and hot water would bring the estimated rating to C.
What works would improve the energy rating?
A single upgrade: replacing the oil-fired boiler with a heat pump providing both heating and domestic hot water. That change alone would bring the estimated rating from E to C — and sharply reduce the heating bill (oil currently accounts for ~€3,500 of the ~€5,500 annual energy costs).
Can you make your own wine?
Yes. The family vineyard (about 1 hectare in AOC Coteaux d'Aix-en-Provence — Cabernet Sauvignon, Grenache and Syrah, farmed under HVE level 3) lets you produce your own wine, on a convivial scale and with no commercial-farming obligation.
Can the estate be let as a seasonal rental?
Yes. The estate already operates as a prestige holiday rental and is perfectly suited to a turnkey seasonal activity. Its DPE rating of E meets the minimum energy threshold currently applicable to furnished tourist accommodation, and the estimated upgrade to class C via a heat pump would future-proof that activity against upcoming regulatory changes.
What are the annual running costs (property tax, energy, water)?
Property tax is €5,074/year, energy costs around €5,500/year (electricity ~€2,000 and heating oil ~€3,500), and water around €800/year.
Villa or bastide?
It is a Provençal villa (built in the 1950s), with the charm typical of Provence — a villa with pool, tennis and vineyard, set in 3 hectares in Puyricard. The word 'bastide' is sometimes used for this style, but this is a villa of character.
What is the asking price?
The asking price is €2,950,000. Viewings are arranged by appointment for qualified buyers.
