If your dream is to experience life in a lively and scenic Provençal village, look no further. Located in the village of Goult in the heart of the beautiful Luberon valley, this house is exceptional in every way -- renovated, decorated and maintained with no expense spared.

It is set in two-acre grounds including a large natural garden with tall shade and fruit trees, flowering plants and shrubs. Up several steps from the house is a shaded outdoor dining area with stone table and stunning views of the Luberon valley. Below the house is a pretty swimming pool with lawn, olive and cypress trees and roses. All this and village shops, restaurants and cafés just steps away.

Dating from the 17th century, the four-level house has been lovingly and beautifully renovated maintaining traditional Provençal architectural features such as wood beamed ceilings, stone archways, exposed stone walls and stone floors. Decorated by an award-wining interior designer, the house features beautiful fabrics, lovely antique wood pieces, handsome carpets and tapestries, antique engravings and works of original art and all modern comforts and conveniences.

To the left of the entry hall is the living room with beige upholstered sofa and period chairs grouped around a wood coffee table near the old stone fireplace. Colorful cushions, occasional tables, lamps and a large antique armoire complete this gracious room. A beamed archway leads to the dining room with French country table and upholstered chairs for 8 people as well as an antique wood buffet and richly-colored tapestry. Both the living room and dining room have French doors opening to the side garden.

Beyond the dining room is the kitchen with stone counters, cream-colored wood cabinets and a small marble-topped wrought-iron breakfast table. The kitchen is light and bright with large windows and a door opening to the back garden with outdoor dining area and steps to the pool. This is a wonderful room for cooks featuring the highest quality appliances including a Lacanche professional-level stove.

A spiral stone staircase with wrought-iron railing leads from the entry hall lead to three bedrooms, each with ensuite bathroom. Each bedroom suite is on a separate level providing space and privacy. On the second floor is a twin-bedded suite with a full bathroom with shower. On the third floor is the master suite with four-poster wrought-iron queen bed, decorative fireplace and large bathroom with both separate shower and clawfoot tub. On the fourth floor is a suite with double bed and full bathroom with shower.

All of the bedrooms have beamed ceilings, stone floors and are handsomely furnished with a selection of lovely bedcovers, antique desks, tables, armoires and antique and original artwork. The bathrooms include fine fixtures, ceramics and travertine tilework.

A home with grace, elegance and historic charm in the heart of a picturesque Provençal village.
