This property consists of a substantial private villa in its own grounds of 3 acres, in a countryside and woodland setting just 2km from the centre of a village (all shops and services, supermarket, Saturday market, horse riding, tennis courts). It is conveniently located 10km north of Aix-en-Provence, a very attractive town with a daily food market, a general market on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays (clothes, flowers, antiques), and an antique book market on the first Sunday of each month. There is a leisure lake for swimming at the Lac de Peyrolles (12km) with pedaloes, table tennis and beach volley ball. There are a 9 hole golf course close to Aix and an 18 hole course 16km away at Les Milles. Many lovely walks can be taken around the Montagne Sainte-Victoire, made famous by Cézanne. The peaks of the La Croix de Provence (altitude 946m) command fantastic views and are reached 17km from the villa via a famous path, the "sentier des Venturiers" between Aix and Vauvenargues. The Pic des Mouches (altitude 1011m) and La Chapelle de St-Ser offer some of the most beautiful panoramas of Provence (both 37km away). Automatic gates open onto a 50m driveway through the front garden area to the main house. There is parking for several vehicles. To the south of and above the villa, the swimming pool is reached by a set of steps and has a sunbathing patio.
