Fantastic and spacious, very well equipped, luxurious and comfortable 18c property with 7 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms. Walled and enclosed garden with heated swimming pool, surrounded by fields. Very child-friendly, and dog friendly (by permission only). Only 20 minutes from the Luberon and 20 minutes from Aix en Provence. A perfect location being so close to many cultural and historical places of interest. Ferme du Val is located between two picturesque villages, St Cannat and Lambesc. The building dates from the 18th century, a traditional stone "mas" which was originally the main farm serving the nearby chateau. The house is situated in peaceful, open countryside, within 25 acres of grounds, but it's only a 5 minute drive to either St Cannat or Lambesc. Both the house and the heated pool are enclosed within a walled garden creating a secluded and very private and peaceful environment, ideal for small children and dogs. The grey/green shuttered house is flanked by large "platane" trees creating shady areas. All bedrooms have wonderful views out to the beautiful open countryside. It is a perfect location for a holiday. The lawned gardens are on two levels, the lower with a large south facing terrace between the house and the pool. There are 2 options for outside dining: either by the edge of the pool underneath the shade of an arbour covered with vines – the grapes are edible! or there is a terrace situated behind the house, bordered with flowers and herbs, just outside one of the kitchens. The pool is 12m x 5m, heated, ozone treated, not chlorine, pool house with WC, shower and changing room, lots of sunbeds and parasols, and seating/dining areas. Large gas bbq. The farm has been meticulously renovated and is full of many beautiful antiques and paintings whilst providing elegant, luxurious, spacious and comfortable accommodation with the benefits of fully equipped modern kitchens and bathrooms. There is WIFI throughout the house, and UK TV. Furthermore the house lends itself very well to an out of season holiday with the benefits of full central heating throughout, and an open working fireplace. Ample garaging, bbq, table tennis and boules. The property sleeps 14 very comfortably however it is very suitable for any size group due to the layout of the house.
