Hus for Køb i Saignon, Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur
A magnificently restored village house sitting in a prominent position within the perched Luberon village of Saignon. This uniquely elegant property enjoys generous volumes, a cohesive open floor plan, and immediate access to Saignon's restaurants and the surrounding Luberon valley. The accommodation on the ground floor comprises: large entrance hall; double bedroom with an adjoining bathroom and WC; home library with a back door; utility room. A large spiralling staircase adorned with Menerbes stone leads up to the first and second floors. The property's garage is accessed from the entrance hall and is equipped with an electric door. The first floor is occupied by an impressive open concept space. This beautifully proportioned living room accommodates a sitting area with a wood-burning stove, a bespoke kitchen, and a dining table. A large patio door from kitchen opens onto the large first-floor roofed dining terrace. The first floor accommodates the parental suite; a spacious double bedroom complemented by an adjoining shower room complete with a walk-in shower, double vanity, and an independent WC. An additional double bedroom with fitted cupboards and a guest shower room and WC also lie on the first floor. Finally, an additional room on the upper floor is currently used as a secondary sitting room. Flooded with natural light from large French doors, this room opens on to a roof-top terrace offering spectacular views of Saignon and the Luberon valley that stretches out to the west. Although this room could easily serve as an additional bedroom, it currently provides the perfect spot to enjoy a glass of Rose with the Provencal sunset - in absolute privacy. Thoroughly authentic wine cellars dating back to the 13th century lie underneath the property. Part of this cellar houses the underfloor heating system and hot water tank. The refurbishment has restored this property to its former glory, respectful of its history yet wonderfully complemented by an array of modern features to offer a high standard of living throughout. Careful consideration has been given to elements such as bespoke wood-framed doors and double-glazed windows, modular underfloor heating, walk-in showers, Tadelakt flooring and the intricate lighting system. The property has also benefitted from wall insulation, a new roof, and restored facades exposing the remnants of the old entrance of the medieval village of Saignon.
