Is a romantic, pastoral French lifestyle calling to you? Mais oui! Here’s the perfect backdrop for it all: Bastide Bonnieux, located in Provence’s Luberon region. The 17-acre estate is for sale for €8,500,000, and also available as a luxury rental from May through October. The full-service rental offering includes a full-time chef and maid service for €31,000—you won’t need to lift a finger. And it couldn’t be more picturesque.
Represented by The Agency’s Carey More, the estate encompasses 17.3 acres of Mediterranean gardens, recognized among the most beautiful in France. Overlooking the protected landscapes of the Luberon Regional Natural Park, the property captures sweeping views of rolling vineyards, cypress trees, and nearby sunlit stone villages.
Dating back to the 15th through 17th centuries, Bastide Bonnieux is composed of three meticulously restored stone residences: the main bastide, a spacious guesthouse, and an independent caretaker’s home.
Together they offer over 7,800 square feet of living space, carefully preserved to honor the estate’s historic character while introducing refined modern comforts.
Inside the main residence, centuries of Provençal craftsmanship remain beautifully intact. A grand entrance hall opens into a double living room anchored by a stately fireplace, while a vaulted dining room evokes the atmosphere of a medieval manor. The chef’s kitchen balances rustic warmth with modern functionality.
Upstairs, the primary suite offers a terrace overlooking the gardens, a dressing room, and a spa-inspired bathroom. Find two additional bedrooms, along with a library lounge, and office — each with its own fireplace.
Designed with hospitality in mind, the guesthouse welcomes visitors with a generous living room, office, terrace access and a luxurious suite alongside two additional bedrooms and baths. Nearby, the discreetly positioned caretaker’s house, connected to the Bastide’s service areas, allows for seamless estate management.
Life outdoors is truly a fairytale, unfolding across acres of curated gardens, olive groves, and woodland paths. The grounds feature a 60-foot heated swimming pool, a fully equipped garden kitchen, a charming outdoor pavilion, barbecue area, and multiple alfresco dining terraces.
Located just minutes from the hilltop village of Bonnieux, this estate places residents in the heart of one of France’s most beloved regions. Nearby villages such as Gordes, Lourmarin, and Roussillon offer vibrant markets, celebrated restaurants, historic architecture, and renowned vineyards. The property also provides convenient access to Avignon and Marseille, while the beaches of Saint‑Tropez are just a scenic drive away.
