Luberon former mill for sale amidst lavenderfields. Vaucluse

Provence / Alpes, Vaucluse (84)

€690,000 ID: 163070

Ideal for nature lovers: stretched out amidst lavenderfields and facing ochre quarries and lovely forests, this huge ochre mill offers you plenty of possibilities to realise your Provençal dream!

It dates from former times around 1900, when the ochre-bricks were ground to powder in this typical very long barn with one open side facing the quarry.

In the 1980's an architect transformed a part of it into a main house and a workshop.

The mainhouse (app 180 sqm) comprises at the ground floor a very spacious living/dining room with a kitchen and a shower room as well as a gorgeous veranda overlooking the garden.

On the first floor you'll find a lovely office, two large bedrooms, a bathroom and a toilet. Via a covered terrace (34 sqm) you get to the former workshop, which nowadays is a huge loft (app 135 sqm) with a kitchen, convertible bedroom and a showerroom.

The rest of the huge barn (170 sqm) has been untouched and awaits your projects, like e.g. rentals, workshops, yoga, garages etc.

The property is entirely south facing and hidden from views.
Heating is done by a wood burner and a central gaz heater for the main house + a canadian wood burner for the loft.

The large plot of land (3645 sqm) gives you the possibility to create a swimming pool or a playground, but you can also easily set up a vegetable garden, as there is a spring with water.

Its south facing location, in the middle of peace and nature, you will feel like in paradise.

The abundant nature in the surrounding area offers you the opportunity to enjoy the peace and tranquillity of the French countryside. There are numerous hikes for walks or bikes around the property, but it remains hidden from the trotten roads of tourism.

Rustrel, at only 1 km away, is a charming little Provencal village with all conveniences: there is an excellent bakery, a lovely local grocery shop, a few galleries, a brocante, three lovely terraces under the plane trees in the centre of the village in front of restaurants/bars/brasserie, a school, a post office and a town hall.

The village has an authentic and in the meantime a rather open minded international atmosphere. Myself I live here since 2004 and I find it the best place of the Luberon to live in.

In the town of Apt, at about 10 min. drive, you find all main supermarkets, schools, hospital, more restaurants, the cinema etc.
