In Forcalquier, very close to its renowned market, facing the Verdon gorges and the Valensole plateau, lies this Provençal bastide dating from 1850, 350 m², set on 4 hectares in a dominant position of ordered nature where the hand of man has planted olive trees and truffle oaks.

Here, no overlooking neighbors, only the song of cicadas, the light of Haute-Provence, and an endless panorama of the surrounding hills and countryside.

One finds here the art of living typical of country houses: meals under the trees, the scent of freshly pressed oil, evenings by the fireplace, and days stretched out around the pool.

The owners have found numerous truffles and harvested over 600 kg of olives—enough to produce your own oil to share and offer to your guests, as this house is a place to bring together generations and friends.

The house, air-conditioned and enveloped by its 50 cm thick stone walls, offers 5 bedrooms, outbuildings, and a caretaker’s house that can become a reception house.

Each space has been designed to welcome, reunite, and fully enjoy the softness of the south. The attic of the house has been insulated.

Located only 45 minutes from Aix-en-Provence and its TGV station, and less than two hours from the nearest ski resorts, this property combines the absolute tranquility of the countryside with proximity to large cities.

I present to you the more secret and intimate Provence of Giono, not the more extravagant and crowded one of Pagnol.
