17th Century French Country House Set Near a Provencal Village
Located in the countryside north of Aix-en-Provence, this Provencal property is set within a lush 1.96 acre estate crossed by a private river, and comes with a beautiful swimming pool.
A former royal paper mill, the property was built between 1683 and 1687 by royal edict of King Louis XIV, and comes with several annexes on the property to be restored, including a large attic with stone walls and 16 windows, an artist’s studio, suite, and vaulted cellars.
The residence offers 8611 sq ft of living space across two main buildings, with period details like stained glass windows, original fireplaces, and antique floors.
The French property for sale has 7 bedrooms in addition to the caretaker's apartment, and is surrounded by two large terraces, adorned with rose bushes and French boxwoods, and overlooking the gardens.
The grounds offer peace and privacy, located in the medieval village of Jouques, with the historic centre within walking distance. Waiting to be restored, this French country house offers plenty of potential for rental income generation with the rise of boutique tourism in Provence.
