Just 15 minutes from Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, this exquisitely restored 17th-century farmhouse estate is set among olive groves, lavender fields and ancient stone walls, and provides a quintessentially Provençal experience. It is available for both private stays and events.
A three-year renovation has transformed the mas—the regional term for a rural estate with living quarters and farm buildings—into a sophisticated yet unpretentious property that is a natural continuation of the couple’s aesthetic, on display in their West Palm Beach gallery.
Under the original oak beamed ceiling, hangs a Cox London chandelier. A French farmhouse table, dressed with linens from La Bottega del Tessuti, seats 14 on the original terra-cotta floor. 19th-century walnut chairs have cushions that are upholstered with tweed and velvet trim from Nobilis.
Traditional bookshelves flank a 1790 antique metal mirror, holding a collection of Chinese porcelain jars and antique French gouache paintings.
The master bedroom, Chambre de Soleil, showcases a six-panel Japanese screen from the Meiji period, a 1940s-inspired chandelier and wall sconces in a gold patinated metal. The king size bed is covered with embroidered Portuguese linens from Colunex, with a headboard and drapery from Nobilis. A pair of 1950s-inspired chairs and settee are upholstered in a cream bouclé with matte gold legs. The 20th-century demilune brass dressing table is by Luigi Brusotti.
The master bathroom features irregularly applied lime-based plaster walls and a stylized cement backsplash in shades of grey, complemented by iridescent green tiles in the walk-in shower. Villeroy & Boch’s stainless steel and porcelain sink, and a zinc bathtub are paired with an antique triangular-shaped Italian chair, and geometric 19th century-style floor tiles.
The king size bed in the Chambre Bateau bedroom is from Colunex, with fabric and wall tapestry from Nobilis. The crystal and metal chandelier, in the shape of a ship, is by Maison Baguès, circa 1930. A pair of grisaille (monochromatic) 19th-century paintings of parrots—symbols of exotic beauty and refinement in European art—adorn the wall.
Painting by Austrian artist Max Gangl hangs above a pair of 1950s chairs by Marco Zanuso re-upholstered in Nobilis fabric, alongside a 1950s sofa by Minotti in green velvet. An 1830s Biedermeier cherry wood bar is next to a mid-century floor lamp by Hans Kögl.
The silver-gilded French mirror with floral decoration, circa 1720, is above an original Louis XVI marble fireplace, circa 1780. A painting by Baroque artist Giovanni Paolo Panini, circa 1720, hangs above a Vladimir Kagan-style curved sofa. French classical architectural models in wood, circa 18th/19th century, sit on a contemporary demilune console in patinated bronze.
The kitchen features a French limestone floor inlayed with Belgian bluestone cabochon tiles, a Lacanche kitchen stove and an island in white marble and stainless steel, alongside a Villeroy & Boch trough sink in porcelain. The 19th-century French farmhouse table seats 12 with rattan chairs by Sika. A vintage French ceiling pendant in zinc, along with 19th/20th century botanical artworks in original Renaissance frames, provide added points of interest.
A lavender border ends with a group of limestone spheres that overlook centuries-old olive and plane trees.
French limestone stepping stones are flanked by rows of lavender, with tall Tuscan terra-cotta planters containing pruned olive trees. The front door is flanked with cypress trees and boxwood topiaries.
Situated on 62 acres, the building boasts venerable stone walls, traditional shutters and terra-cotta accents and includes a pool, tennis court and putting green. Paths lead to a classic parterre that is surrounded by over 1,000 olive trees, lavender fields and cypress hedges. Outdoor details include a hand-carved limestone 17th-century-style fountain and distinctive garden urns, known as Anduze planters, which are a type of traditional French artisanal pottery.
Inside, terra-cotta flooring, plaster reliefs and limestone fireplaces are complemented by a mix of antique Provençal and mid-century furniture, including works by Josef Frank and Memphis Milano. The dining room with its original oak beams, features an antique farmhouse table that sits beneath a chandelier by Cox London, plus a collection of delftware and faience china with blue accents from Pierre Frey. The living room displays an eclectic mix with modern furniture from Minotti being paired with an antique Empire settee. Each of the six suites and bedrooms offers a distinctive character: one has a 19th-century crystal ship chandelier; another comes with a 1950s-themed décor. The tapestries and draperies are all from Nobilis, with embroidered Portuguese linens covering Colunex beds.
Besides the dining room, spaces for eating include the Carrara marble counters and farmhouse table in the kitchen (with seating for up to 12), and pergolas with tables and chairs, near the pool.
