Description
Bonnieux – Former 13th-century silkworm farm to renovate with exceptional views.
The estate, located in Bonnieux, dates back to the 13th century, of which several medieval remains still survive today.
In the 15th century, the property was remodeled and retains remarkable architectural features, such as a Renaissance-style spiral staircase and mullioned windows. In the 17th and 18th centuries, the site became successively a hospice and then a silkworm farm, dedicated to raising silkworms, an activity that was once very important in Provence.
Over time, the property evolved into a large Provençal farmhouse surrounded by agricultural land, now a characterful estate in the heart of the Luberon.
Located in the immediate vicinity of one of the most sought-after villages in the Luberon, this exceptional former silkworm farm offers rare potential on the market. Spanning approximately 1,000 m² of floor space, the property rises four stories and boasts spectacular, unobstructed views of the villages of Bonnieux and Lacoste, as well as Mont Ventoux.
A comprehensive renovation project has already been developed, envisioning an exceptional residence or a high-end hospitality project. Several planning permissions have been granted, including:
• the creation of a tennis court to replace the existing swimming pool
• the creation and modification of openings
• the creation of an exterior staircase
• the modification of the terraces
• the construction of a new swimming pool and the modification of the facades.
The property retains numerous remarkable architectural features that bear witness to its history:
• a superb Renaissance spiral staircase
• mullioned windows
• many original materials still visible. Land and surroundings: The property extends over more than 7 hectares, including approximately 6 hectares of vineyards currently cultivated by a farmer.
Several water resources complement the property:
• connection to the Canal de Provence
• wells
• presence of springs.
Location: In the heart of the Luberon Regional Natural Park, the property is located in the immediate vicinity of several iconic villages such as Gordes, Ménerbes, and Roussillon. 60 minutes from Avignon TGV station and 90 minutes from Marseille International Airport, this rare property awaits its new owner. Les honoraires d'agence sont à la charge de l'acquéreur, soit 4,99% TTC du prix hors honoraires.
