Aix-en-Provence
Just 1 km, or a 15-minute walk from the historic center of Aix en Provence, this authentic 17th-century Bastide, fully renovated, offers an exceptional living environment. Situated within a 1,800m2 park with century-old trees, this gem faces east towards a wooded hill, classified as a natural area with no overlooking neighbors, enhancing the impression of calm and countryside. The Bastide, facing southeast, benefits from great sunlight from sunrise to sunset. The west side is bordered by buildings, hidden by cypress hedges at a respectable distance, including a high-end residence on the north side, where the entrance to the Bastide is secured by two successive electric gates, a 62m2 closed garage, and two outdoor parking spaces. The south facade features a typical 17th-century stone entrance door adorned with an angelic head, leading to a massive chestnut wood door in Louis XIV or Louis XV style, opening onto a large terrace shaded by two century-old plane trees. Just a few steps away, the large saltwater pool (11x4m) heated by a heat pump has a counter-current swimming feature and a removable fence. A 20m2 wooden chalet houses a gym with a 3-4 person infrared sauna, making this property a haven of peace and relaxation within the vibrant agglomeration of the Pays d'Aix. The 300m2 interior is spread over 3 bright and spacious levels, ideally distributed around a central staircase and enhanced by ceiling heights of 3.20m. The entrance hall opens to the east onto a double living room of over 80m2, an interior living room with a large fireplace and coffered ceiling, followed by an orangery with large windows opening onto a wide terrace, lawn, and wooded hill to the east. To the west, there is a study adorned with a red marble fireplace from Languedoc and a large fitted kitchen opening to the north onto a terrace sheltered by a pergola. On the 1st floor, there are four large bedrooms each measuring 14 to 16m2 with private bathrooms and toilets. The two largest bedrooms open onto a 40m2 terrace with a pergola facing east towards the wooded hill. These four rooms are equipped with reversible air conditioning distributed through ducts with a thermostat in each room. On the 2nd floor, there is a large master bedroom of 40m2 with a dressing room and bathroom, as well as three smaller bedrooms and a balneotherapy bathroom. The four bedrooms on the 1st floor were operated as guest rooms from 2018 to 2020, generating a turnover of €63,000 in 2019 in 6 months (April-October) with a rating of 9.2/10. Located 100m from the street gate, there is a bus stop serving 6 bus lines: 23, 25, 100, 120, 150, 260, connecting to the bus station with connections to the TGV station, airport, Marseille, and all cities in the Paca region. Within less than 1 km, there are general and technical high schools, public and private middle schools, and primary and nursery schools. Less than 1 km away, there is access to highways A51, A8, and A52. This masterful residence, steeped in authenticity and charm, was offered for sale at auction in 1933 for the equivalent of €7,570.00 today under the name "propriété Tedeschi". It is a true treasure for history and old stone lovers. As for the price of €2,590,000, it is reflective of the exceptional features and historical significance of this property, making it a worthy investment for those seeking a unique and luxurious living experience in the heart of Aix-en-Provence.
