This old farm is the realisation of your Provencal dream. Beautifully renovated, it dazzles your mind with its large reception room and the 40 sqm kitchen.
With its 9 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms it is the ideal place for a summer residence for a large family (and friends) or a bed and breakfast business (which it currently is).

A supposed disadvantage of only little land (1.626 sqm) can actually be seen as an advantage as it allows you to focus on family, friends or guests rather than on gardening. There is no pool yet, but the outside space is there to create one according to your desires

Old farm of Haute-Provence with its tower-shaped pigeon house, entirely restored dating from the XVIIth century, located in the Verdon Nature Park.

The old farmhouse is at the edge of a very quiet agricultural village (40 inhabitants) with many fields and 800 m from the lake and the Verdon river.
It is organised around a few farms and its castle, of which the interior has been transformed into 18 holiday apartments..

The lake of Saint-Laurent (1,5km) has a shaded beach with boat rentals and a snack bar during the summer months.

Facing south-east, north-west, it overlooks on one side the countryside planted with olive trees and on the other side the adjoining castle.
The whole constitutes an imbrication of terraces, small courtyards and gardens which contribute to the charm of the place.
