16th Century Chateau in the South Luberon, Provence

This property is on the market for €5,800,000, listed with Emile Garcin. 

Listed as a Historic Monument, this property seamlessly blends its medieval origins with modern living, creating a unique opportunity for its next owner.

This château has serious character. The architecture reflects its 16th-century roots, with details like a spiral staircase, Renaissance-style elements, and a monumental entrance. Its four massive round towers give it that iconic castle look, while features like mullioned windows and period fireplaces add a sense of timeless charm. Whether it’s the colonnades or the original stables, every corner of this place has a story.

At the heart of the building is an internal courtyard with a central water feature. This space is perfect for entertaining or just enjoying a quiet moment, surrounded by the walls of this impressive structure. The grounds span 3 acres (1.2 hectares), featuring mature trees that provide shade and privacy. There’s even an old dovecote that’s been converted into caretaker’s quarters.

The restoration is nearly finished, so most of the heavy lifting has already been done. What’s left is for someone to move in and make it their own. With 14,000 square feet of living space, there’s plenty of room to personalize. This property is more than just a home—it's a slice of French history in one of the country’s most picturesque regions.
