The village of Cabrières d'Avignon couldn't be more centrally located in the scenic Luberon. And this extraordinary residence is located in the heart of the village. Just steps away is one of the best bakeries in the region. And you can walk to a small grocery, butcher and a couple of charming restaurants. The renowned perched villages of the Luberon, Isle-sur-la-Sorgue and its celebrated Sunday market, and all the sights of Provence are within easy driving distance.
With origins in the 17th century, the Domaine de Cabrières and its surrounding grounds are exceptional in every way and among the finest in our portfolio. It is comprised of a large manor house accommodating 12-14 people and on adjacent grounds, a smaller house that was the site of the village's old bread oven, accommodating 6 people. Together they form a superb estate which accommodates up to 20 people. No expense has been spared in the renovation and furnishings of both properties which include the highest quality building materials, state-of-the-art appliances, handsome furniture, an extensive collection of antique maps and works of art, along with every comfort and convenience. Both are centrally heated and equipped with air conditioning. The estate grounds are enclosed by stone walls and constitute just over one-third of an acre, expansive for their village location. The stunningly landscaped grounds feature lavender beds, rosemary and an array of flowering plants and shrubs along with cypress, olive and fruit trees. Set away from the main house and surrounded by a low stone wall is a pretty swimming pool with stone terrace and ample lounging furniture. The pool has a salt-water filtration system and can also be heated. Nearby is a summer kitchen with barbecue and dining table. And adjacent to the main house is a spacious canopy-covered stone terrace with a long rectangular wood dining table and chairs, the perfect spot for large groups to socialize and share leisurely outdoor meals. In addition, the smaller house has its own walled grounds with a bassin-style swimming pool, wood deck and outdoor dining area. Inside, both properties have been decorated with the utmost taste and style. Traditional architectural features such as old wood and plaster ceilings, stone fireplaces and stone floors highlight a stylish combination of contemporary furnishings and unique antique pieces. And in the small house, the old stone bread oven has been fully restored. The estate has a total of 9 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms. The bedrooms all feature quality queen- and king-size bedding and are beautifully decorated with occasional antique pieces as well as pretty curtains, lovely duvets, fine linens and ample wardrobe space. The bathrooms feature quality ceramic tilework and fixtures. Six have separate showers and bathtubs, and the other two have American-style tubs with showers. **For full written descriptions of the two properties, please review individual listings for Domaine de Cabrières (AH18) and Cabrières Village (AH19). An exceptional estate and setting for large groups of friends and families in the heart of a Provençal village. |
