Lambesc, Bouches-Du-Rhône, Provence-Alpes-Côte D'Azur

This property is presented by Knight Frank SNC.

20 km from Aix-en-Provence, at the gateway to the Luberon and close to the prestigious International Pont Royal golf course, created by the legendary Ballesteros, this magnificent property is located in the heart of a wooded estate of approximately 70 hectares. It comprises a renovated farmhouse and a magnificent 13th-century chateau.

The castle, situated in a dominant position, is a true architectural gem. With its 220 sqm, it offers an inner courtyard protected by its fortified enclosure, a watchtower with a terrace overlooking the valley and the Luberon, and spacious rooms that have preserved their original charm. The period stained glass windows, monumental fireplaces, and vaulted ceilings are all witnesses to the rich history of this residence.

The farmhouse, located below, offers approximately 270 sq m of living space with six bedrooms, each equipped with a shower room and toilet, a living room, dining room, fitted kitchen, pantry, and office.

Today, this estate, with its wooded park of about 70 hectares, offers many possibilities. This property can become a prestigious family home or serve as a bed-and-breakfast. Its ideal location, close to the TGV station in Aix-en-Provence and the International Airport of Marseille-Provence, offers easy access while preserving absolute tranquillity.

This property is not only a place of residence but also a witness to the past. The current Chateau, known as Chateau des Taillades, is located northwest of the Barony of Lambesc. In the past, the watchtower played a strategic role in protecting convoys against raiders. In the 16th century, the de Lauris family, notable in Provence, owned this fief and their influence extended as far as Marseille. Over the centuries, Chateau des Taillades has endured, preserving its unique character and splendour. Today, it once again welcomes history enthusiasts and lovers of exceptional residences.
