Located in the valley near the hilltop village of Roussillon, renowned for its majestic ocher cliffs, this single-story cottage is a rare pearl! Built in the best Provençal tradition, the house sports a bright ocher façade, sea-green shutters and red tile roof. Spacious grounds of over two acres include pine and oak trees, a lovely swimming pool with beautiful landscaped beds with lavender, rosemary and other flowering plants and shrubs and stone terraces with lounging and dining furniture.
Inside, the cottage offers traditional Provençal architectural features such as wood beamed ceilings, stone archways and stone floors. Decorated with no expense spared by an award-wining interior designer, it includes 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 upholstered loveseat and several arm chairs grouped around an ottoman near the old stone fireplace. Colorful cushions, lamps, an antique mirror and a large antique armoire complete this inviting room. Two stone archways lead to the dining room with a dark wood table and chairs for 8 people as well as an antique wood buffet. Beyond the dining room another stone archway opens to the kitchen with stone counters, white-washed wood cabinets and a marble-topped wrought-iron island table. The kitchen is a pleasure for serious cooks featuring the highest quality appliances including a Lacanche professional-level stove. All three rooms have French doors opening to the terraces and pool. Off the living room are two spacious bedrooms, each with ensuite bathroom. One is a twin-bedded suite with a full bathroom with shower. The other has a king bed and bathroom with tub and shower attachment as well as French doors opening to the terraces and grounds. Both bedrooms are handsomely furnished with a selection of lovely bedcovers, antique desks, tables, armoires and antique and original artwork.
