9-bedroom historic bastide estate

Dating from the 17th century, Domaine Rimbaud is an exceptional historic Provencal bastide in the sought-after northern Aix-en-Provence countryside. Set within approximately 8.5 hectares of private grounds, the estate offers almost 1,000m2 of beautifully restored living space while preserving its remarkable architectural heritage. Rich in character, the property retains its original stone facades, exposed beams and elegant reception rooms, reflecting centuries of Provencal craftsmanship and tradition. One of the property's defining features is the beautifully restored former magnanerie, a rare reminder of its silk-producing past and an important part of the estate's history. The landscaped grounds provide exceptional privacy and a true sense of the Provencal countryside. At the heart of the estate, a beautiful courtyard shaded by mature plane trees creates a natural setting for outdoor living, with terraces, a pétanque court and inviting spaces to gather throughout the seasons. Beyond, the swimming pool sits beside a historic 17th-century stone wall, reflecting the estate's long history and understated character. The northern Aix-en-Provence countryside is renowned for its historic estates, vineyards and rolling landscapes, while the culture, gastronomy and boutiques of Aix-en-Provence remain within easy reach, together with the TGV station and Marseille Provence Airport. Combining history, authenticity and an exceptional setting, Domaine Rimbaud offers the very best of Proveníçal living in one of southern France's most desirable locations.
