Saint-Rémy-de-Provence - nearby, a superb country house with a preserved character

A superb bastide that has been completely restored and preserved its character. 
The gate opens onto a beautiful cypress avenue and a field of fig trees, like an airlock between the city and the Provencal countryside. 
The bastide appears under its pine trees like a reinterpreted Cézanne painting. 
The historic entrance to the building has been preserved, and is accessed via a double staircase and a second, old-fashioned gateway delimiting a delightful garden with a charming central pool. 
The door leads to a central vestibule with a vast staircase in perspective, a dining room adjoining a fully-equipped kitchen and its private, more intimate terrace. This is followed by a living room with a beautiful old fireplace, a library, an office (or another possible bedroom), access to a beautiful vaulted stone cellar - and its tasting room -, a laundry room and other amenities.
The second floor opens onto a first suite, a vestibule with a superb view over the first garden and the pool area in perspective. Another large bedroom and a smaller one. Then there are two further suites and a vast games room. The top floor features an independent parental space: a bedroom with rare volumes, large bathroom/shower, dressing room and toilet. This last level enjoys panoramic views. 
An annex close to the house: a former wine-making cellar houses the property's technical equipment: softener, suppressors (borehole + mains water), hot water tanks. Another room on the first floor serves as a storage area and garage, and can easily be converted into an additional dwelling house: R+1 with generous volumes, or for bedrooms/suites to be created as well (at least 6 possible). 
The relaxation area - created separately - is a unique complementary space with its Italian perspectives, unobstructed views, vast swimming pool, pool house... The pool house is equipped with a lounge, summer kitchen, barbecue, pizza oven and cooking piano, as well as a shower with toilet, storage space and a machine room.
The fully fenced property continues with an olive grove in full production (approx. 300 trees), a henhouse, a preserved curiosity (a charming old bungalow) and a wilder part: meadows, a pine forest and garrigue. A green lung preserving the bastide and giving access to walks of all kinds directly in the secret Alpilles. 
Finally, an additional building is used for storage and could be converted into a beautiful second home or janitor's cottage (with its own separate access from the main driveway).
