Aubagne

Aubagne is a charming village in the department Bouches-du-Rhône, the birthplace of famous french writer Marcel Pagnol. Marcel Pagnol created a beautiful and romantic picture of the Provence through his wonderful characters and endearing observations. He is the pride of the village, and there are many exhibitions and "culture walks" dedicated to him. The center of Aubagne has been renovated and the old quarters are carefully restored. Aubagne has been the center for pottery since ancient times and is the best producer of the famous "Santon figurines". Economically dynamic as it is, Aubagne has still managed to keep its authenticity as a true Provençal community
And you know what? RHF has an exceptional, completely renovated 17th century bastide for sale in Aubagne! It has over 1.3 hectares of landscaped gardens, olive and fruit trees, and is surrounded by non constructible lands. In total there is a whopping 710 m² living space, two fully equipped kitchens, a large bureau, two living rooms, a dining room, a study/library and eight bedrooms with their en-suite bathrooms, done up in Italian style, large, open and filled with light.
The bastide even has its own chapel, adorned with original art and stained glass windows.
There is plenty of terrace space for enjoying the sun-filled days, a terrain de boules and an infinity pool with salt mechanics, it is ready - for quiet, easy living.
And then last but not least, the TGV station in Marseille is less than half an hour away. And a 40 minute drive, without a single traffic light, brings you to Marseille airport... In short, sounds like a house Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie would love to live in! The price: € 2,650,000 More information on the RHF website or contact RHF's Maya O'Riordan
