Villa en venta Montagnac-Montpezat, Chem de Sainte-Croix

A Life Less Ordinary in Provence Some properties are bought for their walls. Others are chosen for the life they make possible : this one is one of them. Nestled in the heart of the Verdon Regional Natural Park, just ten minutes from the Lower Gorges du Verdon and twenty minutes from the turquoise waters of Lake Esparron and the renowned village of Moustiers-Sainte-Marie, this 2.4-hectare certified organic estate offers a rare opportunity to embrace a different rhythm of life in one of Provence's most beautiful natural settings. The estate centres around two buildings, completed in 2000 and 2010. Between 2018 and 2020, the current owners thoughtfully transformed the estate, with every improvement guided by comfort, sustainability, authenticity and respect for nature. Rather than pursuing luxury for its own sake, the owners chose to create a place that is practical, energy-efficient and deeply connected to its natural surroundings. Unlike many rural estates, this property requires no major renovation. The infrastructure has already been modernised, allowing the next owners to focus on living, welcoming guests or developing their own project from day one. Today, the property offers a unique combination of private living, tourist accommodation, organic farming and significant development potential. The estate comprises: • a private 70 m² two-bedrooms owner's apartment; • a spacious 60 m² loft apartment, a 55 m² one-bedroom holiday apartment and a 30 m² studio apartment, each fully self-contained with its own kitchen and bathroom. • a fully equipped food-processing kitchen, formerly used to produce preserves and other farm products; • an accessible kitchen and sanitary building originally developed to serve a six-yurt glamping site; • an area originally reserved for a future farm shop; • 70 m² of additional space ready to be transformed according to your vision. While the glamping activity has now ceased, the infrastructure remains in place should a future owner wish to develop a similar project, subject to obtaining the necessary authorisations. Entirely certified organic by Ecocert, the land has been carefully developed with productive vegetable gardens on permaculture beds, fruit trees, goji berries and hedgerows planted in partnership with the Verdon Regional Natural Park. Modern infrastructure ensures comfortable year-round living while keeping operating costs remarkably low, thanks to twenty-four photovoltaic solar panels, two high-performance heat pumps and reversible air conditioning in every accommodation. A private borehole equipped with a pump and gravity-fed irrigation system provide a reliable and sustainable water supply for the land. The property formerly supported two owner-operated businesses: a certified organic market garden and a holiday accommodation business. Both activities were intentionally operated on a human scale by a single owner and were voluntarily discontinued in 2025 as the owners prepared to relocate abroad, leaving significant opportunities for future owners wishing to develop tourism, agriculture or entirely new projects. Whether you dream of welcoming guests from around the world, creating a wellness retreat, developing an organic farm, hosting workshops, or simply living surrounded by nature while generating additional income, this estate provides an exceptional foundation. Perhaps the greatest luxury this estate offers cannot be measured in square metres, buildings or income potential. It is measured in silence. In ancient oak trees. In star-filled skies untouched by city lights. In coffee on the terrace as the sun rises over the Verdon. In afternoons spent swimming in turquoise lakes just minutes from home… And in the rare privilege of living each day at nature's pace. Some places simply offer accommodation. Others offer a new way of living: this is one of them. Formerly known as "L'Arbre de Vie", the estate is now ready for its next chapter. YouYube link - https://youtu.be/LtggSATBZs4
