This single-storey stone house in Ménerbes has been sold. If you are currently looking for a property with a similar feel in this part of Provence, we invite you to explore our houses and properties for sale in the Luberon.
In Ménerbes, houses of this kind never stay on the market for long.
What appealed immediately here was the simplicity of the layout. Everything is on one level. From the sitting room, you step straight onto the terrace. There is no staircase separating indoor life from outdoor living. For many buyers, especially those looking for a main residence or a house to enjoy over long stays, that matters more than dramatic effect.
The house dates from 1990.
It offers approximately 180 sqm of living space on a 2,531 sqm landscaped plot. The garden gives the house breathing space without creating the burden of a large estate. From the terrace, the view opens onto vineyards and the hills of the Luberon. It is not a distant glimpse. It is part of daily life here.
Inside, the main living area brings together the sitting room, dining area and kitchen. The Lacanche range cooker sets the tone immediately. There is also a study, which avoids having to turn one of the bedrooms into a workspace.
The sleeping area includes three bedrooms. Two of them have mezzanine levels. Two shower rooms complete the layout.
This was not a complicated house. That was precisely its strength.
The terrace extends naturally from the main rooms. A summer kitchen under a vine-covered pergola allows outdoor living for much of the year. The covered swimming pool set under a greenhouse structure genuinely changes the way the property can be enjoyed. It allows swimming out of season, an earlier start in spring and longer use into autumn.
For a house of this size, that is a real advantage.
The underfloor heating powered by a heat pump also brought immediate comfort. Once again, nothing showy. Simply a bright, well-kept house, easy to live in, with a direct relationship to the surrounding landscape.
Bonnieux, Gordes, Lacoste and Oppède are all within easy reach. Here, we keep the quiet atmosphere of Ménerbes without feeling isolated. Very often, it is exactly this balance that leads to a sale.
Single-storey stone houses with an open view, a manageable garden and a pool remain relatively rare in this area. This one brought together several sought-after features at once, which explains how quickly it found a buyer.
