Mas de la Tranquillité

Overview

Located in the outskirts of St Remy de Provence, facing the Alpilles, this two hundred year old Mas “farmhouse” has been renovated with great taste. Keeping the Provençal charm, the farmhouse is dressed with noble materials of the region and dressed with signed furniture.

The place is magical. Nature lovers will not be disappointed. The manicured garden and its peach fields offer tranquil strolls throughout the park, or one can relax around the pool area with view of the Alpilles hills. The view of the park is superb with two magnificent plane trees in the foreground, a lavender field in the middle, a small stream that flows, and in the background, a field of olive trees. A nice patio at the back of the house will allow you to enjoy the freshness of the morning.

The Mas consists of a spacious living room with a fireplace, under-floor cooling system, TV, an office desk, comfortable sofas, and large windows opening to the garden with its two magnificent plane trees. A spacious fully equipped modern kitchen includes an American fridge/freezer, wine cooler, and dining area that extend into the living room. There is also a separate laundry room.

On the ground floor is the parental suite of approximately 50 square meters. It features its own terrace, an office, private bathroom, and a large cupboard.

On the first floor there is a family bedroom area with two bedrooms which share a large bathroom. Three other rooms, all of different decoration, each have a en-suite bathroom and offer a nice view of the Alpilles hills.

In the pool annex, there is a small independent apartment that offers a spacious bedroom and a bathroom.

The Mas, set in park of five hectares of manicured grounds, offers as much activity or seclusion as you desire. The owner has chosen to plant three hectares of peach trees. It is also scented with lavender and with cypress and olive trees.

A long and beautiful heated and secure swimming pool (16 x 6 m) and its pool house area with summer kitchen, invites you to swim and relax under the Provencal sun with dramatic views of the Alpilles region. There are bicycles and Ping-Pong that are available to guests.
