Aix-en-Provence, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, Address available on request

A renovated farmhouse in a lush almost 1-hectare garden with swimming pool and views of the hills on the outskirts of the village of Auriol, between Aix-en-Provence, Marseille and Saint Maximin. The property can be reached through three gates, of which two are automatic, and a wicket gate. It was built in the early 20th century using traditional stone and tiles. It has two stories and has been extended several times, providing it with a series of different volumes and terraces, enhanced by landscaping adapted to each space. It has sober, rendered elevations and a roof of half-round terracotta tiles underlined by a Genoise corbel. Large patios surround the villa and in addition to the many aluminium-framed windows and patio doors on the north, west and south-facing façades, they allow the occupants to enjoy the region's bright light all day long.
The house's outside doors are made of sculpted wood. The main entrance door is on the north-facing façade. The inside of the house has been redesigned, producing archetypal and generous volumes that are bathed with light.
The garden is made up of a variety of different areas including a swimming pool, workshop, children's playground, stable and vegetable garden. The range of large trees provides the garden with shade and privacy.
