Between Mont Ventoux, the Monts de Vaucluse and the Luberon, a gîte for sale in the Vaucluse trades on a name known far beyond France. Gordes, Roussillon and its ochre cliffs, Lourmarin, Fontaine-de-Vaucluse, L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue and its antique dealers, Avignon and its theatre festival, Vaison-la-Romaine and the Dentelles de Montmirail draw loyal guests. The Châteauneuf-du-Pape and Gigondas vineyards, the lavender of the Sault plateau and the Ventoux cycling climb stretch the season from spring to autumn.
Listings here include large Provençal farmhouses (mas), country manors (bastides) with outbuildings, old mills and restored dry-stone huts (bories), nearly always with a pool. The page is for buyers after a house with gîte in the Vaucluse, for those taking over a trading business and for owners thinking of selling. An email alert (in French) flags every new property in the department.

The Vaucluse has an unusual profile. Its median country house price (€360,000) matches the regional figure, but tourist inland communes reach €442,860 over 2020-2025, and that is the benchmark for a gîte. At the other end, large homes here are the most affordable in Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, at a median €1,251,800, and their price per m² (€3,402) is barely above that of country houses (€3,384). Prices in tourist inland communes were stable between 2021 and 2025 (-0.5%).
The Luberon regional nature park draws the most international demand: hilltop villages on the northern slopes such as Gordes, Bonnieux and Ménerbes, and a quieter southern side around Lourmarin. The Monts de Vaucluse and the Albion plateau towards Sault are more open and often cheaper, with walkers and cyclists as guests. In the north, the Ventoux, the Dentelles and the Ouvèze valley around Vaison-la-Romaine combine vineyards and Roman remains. The Comtat Venaissin around Carpentras stays close to Avignon. Avignon TGV station puts Paris and Lyon within reach by train, the A7 motorway follows the Rhône and Marseille airport serves European guests.
Local buildings mix limestone mas, rendered bastides, cabanons and dry-stone bories, which need specialist repair skills. Near listed monuments and in protected sites, changes to façades, windows and pools need the opinion of the architecte des Bâtiments de France, the state heritage architect. Wildfire risk affects the Luberon, the Monts de Vaucluse and the Dentelles, and owners must clear scrub around buildings. The Ouvèze, Durance and Rhône can flood some valley floors: check the risk report attached to the compromis de vente, the preliminary sale contract. Each gîte is a meublé de tourisme (furnished holiday let) registered through the national online service created by the law of 19 November 2024; the 1 to 5 star rating is optional but reassures demanding guests (see our article on gîte ratings, in French).
The Luberon has the strongest name and longest season, but the highest prices and plenty of competition. The Monts de Vaucluse or the Sault area let you buy more space for the same budget, with a shorter season. Compare income and outlay with our holiday rental profitability simulator (in French).
In 2025 the median country house sold for €360,000, and one sale in ten went above €659,400. A property with a gîte, pool and grounds sits higher; for large homes, eight sales in ten were between €711,700 and €2,652,200 over 2021-2025. Allow for notaire fees (the notary handling the sale) and works.
Ask for recent bookings and accounts, each unit's registration number, the septic inspection by the local SPANC service and the mandatory surveys. If the website and customer base are transferred, that part may be a fonds de commerce (business goodwill) separate from the property. Our gîte buying guide (in French) walks you through it.
