Situated in the quietly appealing village of Grans, this is the kind of property that opens up genuine possibilities. Whether you're looking for a substantial family home with income-generating potential, or a going concern in one of the region's most visited corners, it rewards serious consideration.
The estate sits within a fully enclosed, landscaped garden of 1.4 hectares - oak trees, pines and olives providing both shade and character - with around 300 m2 of living space divided across a main house and two fully renovated outbuildings.
Aix-en-Provence, Avignon and its TGV station, and Marseille-Provence Airport are all within roughly thirty minutes. The Alpilles, the Luberon, the Camargue and the Cote Bleue are each within easy reach, placing the property at a natural crossroads for Provence's most visited landscapes.
Beaches at the Cote Bleue are around forty minutes away; everyday amenities - shops, restaurants, schools - are within ten.
The Main House - approximately 190 m2 - has genuine presence. Generous volumes and quality finishes set the tone from the outset, with a large, light-filled reception room centred around a fireplace, and an atelier-style kitchen with glass panels that opens directly into the dining room - the kind of arrangement that works as well for family life as it does for entertaining. A practical utility room completes the ground floor.
The sleeping accommodation is well distributed: four bedrooms and a bathroom on the ground floor, plus a master suite with its own private shower room. On the first floor, a guest bedroom is paired with a large office and shower room - a flexible space that could serve a number of purposes.
A wide south-facing stone terrace extends the living areas outwards, as any self-respecting Provencal property should.
The Outbuildings - The second building contains two three-room apartments with a combined floor area of 83 m2, currently operated as tourist gites. The third building of 27 m2 houses two independent studios, each with its own terrace - compact, self-contained and easy to let.
A 12 x 6 m secured swimming pool and a tennis court round out a property that has clearly been put together with care. The wooded, enclosed setting gives the whole estate a sense of seclusion that belies its very practical location.
For buyers seeking a quality of life that Provence does better than almost anywhere, combined with a tangible return on investment, this is a rare find.

Buying a Property in France
1. Signing the Agreement (Compris)
On finding a property you wish to purchase you will need to negotiate the terms, price and conditions of the sale with the owner.
The next step, once you are in agreement, is to sign the preliminary contract (Compromis de Vente). This is a legal document and after ten days will be binding on both parties. Rules change frequently in France and it is best to consult with your notary about when this period starts. Generally the compris will be signed in France with the Agent.
Variants can be included in the compris, for example an Acte (clause) can be added if the name or names to go on the title deed have not been finalised. If a mortgage will be required to purchase the property, the details for this, including the name of the mortgage company, must be on the compris.
2. Paying the Deposit
Generally the deposit will be 10% of the agreed purchase price. This will normally be paid to the notaire. There are exceptions to this, if the agent holds a carte professionelle, is bonded and fully registered then you may pay them, but do not hand over the deposit to anyone else. If for some reason the purchase does not go through, for example, if you write to the notaire and the agent that you do not wish to go continue with the purchase before the contract is binding (within seven days of signing the compris), then your deposit would be repaid. This would also apply if a condition had not been met, or the mayor or S.A.F.E.R. (a government agency that has the right of first purchase on most rural property that comes onto the market in France) could oblige the purchaser to give way. If you decide after the seven days 'cooling off' period that you do not wish to complete the purchase and pull out of the sale you would lose your deposit. If however the vendor pulls out of the sale then you will receive your deposit back plus the same amount from the vendor.
3. On Completion
Generally it will take around two or three months to complete the purchase.
During this time the balance of the purchase money must be paid into the account of the notaire, this must be done well ahead of the completion date. The notaire will prepare the documents, check that the deed of sale (Acte de Vente) is in order and have the legal title ready to be signed over. It is possible to have someone sign on your behalf if you give them power of attorney. An interpreter may be of use at this point if your French is not very good and many Notaires will suggest (or insist) that an interpreter is with you.
