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

"Exclusivity"Dominated by the medieval in the heart of the southern Luberon, near Lourmarin, a 165 m2 residence transfigured in an old listed Romanesque chapel of the thirteenth century.

138 m2 of living space chapel (4 bedrooms + 1 bathroom + 2 bathrooms) + residential annex 40 m2 + 1 workshop of 30 m2 + garage of 38 m2
 
The house has taken place in an atypical architecture in a place that is just as unusual, sobriety and elegance deconsecrated for a long time. The ordering of the plan is remarkable in proportion. Care has been taken in its construction of yesteryear with soul and brilliant adjustment in resonance of dressed stones on the façade. A 35 m2 high-volume living room, in the heart of the apse dressed in triptych frescoes by the Painter Pierre Girieud, adorned with ribbed vaults, its elegant double arch, a 20th century artefact fireplace in the spirit of a sculpted arabesque creeper, form the den of an intimacy going back in time, history, and the imprint of spiritual prints.
 
A building that is now full of attractions and harmony with beauty as echoes. At the apse of the facades, listed stained glass windows of the most beautiful medieval effect give the whole of the openings in precious luminescence, eternity invites itself in lights.

The space is partitioned by an arm transept (apsidiole) facing east (small salon) and by a porch entrance door to the south.
 
A ceiling and floor are linked in a solid wood mezzanine (sleeping area upstairs), overlooking the partition of the nave, a support layout in a beautiful stubborn grid so well adjusted to the load-bearing façade, a Compagnons du devoir work.
 
In connection with the main space, on the ground floor we find a resolutely sober traditional kitchen of 24 m2, beamed ceiling, serving as a dining room with open fireplace. An access to the half-moon barrel French window, its stained glass window with diamond and herringbone patterns leads to the 2 terraces facing south and west, forecourt with mineral paving.
 
On the ground floor, a bedroom of 30 m2, high volume with its access porch architectural element in presence, its very bright pointed French window in signature of a wrought iron filigree grille, opening onto the priory garden space to the east, a shady place of Eden. The room has a sde, cabochon treated floor. A second bathroom is on the ground floor with 1 toilet.
 
Upstairs

A wooden staircase leads to 2 bedrooms, a bedroom of 21 m2 on the mezzanine, vaulted ceiling, with opening to the east on a discreet garden around the building. On the opposite side is the other bedroom of 24 m2 on the forecourt, terrace to the west.
 
Around the perimeter we find a main annex of 25 m2 fitted out and restored with care (new roof) including a living room kitchen, wooden beams and terracotta floor. An 11 m2 bedroom, a stained-glass bathroom in emerald-coloured arch, as well as a toilet.
The approach to the annex is punctuated by columns (x3) the spirit of a Roman vestige hovering in a proud way.

A workshop embellishes the property, a tectonic vaulted cellar, 2 covered carports for 4 cars and a 30 m2 convertible garage, extending the main annex.
Existence of a laundry room and a storeroom. Parking possible for 10 cars.
 
The remarkable element is located below the property, the natural bathing area is part of the riprap of a cavity, a carefully landscaped setting offering a real Eden by its singularity of aesthetics, a haven of peace fleshed out with lush Mediterranean vegetation.
