A unique property immortalized by painter Paul Cézanne

Located on the heights of Aix-en-Provence, just 5 minutes from the city centre,
along the Route Cézanne (the only road in France listed as a historic monument),
and a stone’s throw from the famous Château Noir — the estate where the painter
Paul Cézanne lived and worked — this extraordinary south-facing 16th-century
property painted by Paul Cézanne in 1897 in his famous work La Montagne Sainte-
Victoire, now housed at the Ermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg, overlooks
endless rolling hills with no visible construction in sight.
Set on a beautiful 3.4-hectare (8.4-acre) plot featuring an olive grove producing over
three tons of olives annually (yielding an excellent certified olive oil), the estate also
includes a 120 sq.m. (1,292 sq.ft.) caretaker’s or guest house (which can be
extended), a swimming pool, a pétanque court, a four-car garage, and three
magnificent terraces offering stunning views.
The main house, with a surface area of approximately 350 sq.m. (3,767 sq.ft.)
is spread over three levels and features:
Ground (U.S. 1st) floor
An entrance hall, a double living room, a dining room, a kitchen with a veranda
1st (U.S. 2nd) floor
Three bedrooms, three bathrooms, dressing rooms, a large studio (former barn)
with a mezzanine and bathroom — also accessible independently — and a study
with a terrace and jacuzzi.
2nd (U.S. 3rd) floor
A bedroom with an en-suite bathroom and terrace.
This unique setting is completely private whilst being just steps away from the
vibrant cultural life of Aix-en-Provence, with access to an excellent bilingual school
(IBSofprovence.com), a TGV high-speed train station (20 minutes away), and an
international airport (Marseille Provence Airport, 29 minutes away).
