CASTLE/ESTATE in L ISLE SUR LA SORGUE
Historic 17th-Century Hunting Lodge Estate between the Luberon and Pays des Sorgues
Between the Luberon and the Pays des Sorgues, in one of the most sought-after areas of Provence, this rare 35-hectare estate enjoys an exceptional natural setting.
Nestled in a lush, secluded valley, the property forms a single, uninterrupted agricultural domain, offering a level of privacy and authenticity rarely found in the region.
At its heart stands a 17th-century former hunting lodge, recognizable by its elegant Florentine dovecote - a hallmark of Provencal heritage. The main residence spans approximately 380 m2 across three levels, exuding timeless character and historic charm:
Ground floor: a small kitchen with fireplace, a welcoming living room, and adjoining corridors.
Upper floors: eight bedrooms, some offering open views over the valley.
Top level: access to the dovecote, a shower room, a grand reception room with a monumental fireplace, and an adjoining studio (former professional kitchen).
Arranged around a central courtyard, the agricultural outbuildings total approximately 300 m2. They include two cellars, a wine-tasting and sales room, storage areas, and an open barn - all bearing witness to the estate's viticultural history. While some structures require restoration, they offer remarkable potential for reviving a boutique wine or olive-growing activity.
The 35-hectare property includes:
8 hectares of planted vineyards across varied terroirs within the valley.
7.5 hectares of additional land suitable for replanting (vines, olive trees, or other crops).
The remainder composed of woodland, garrigue, gardens, and meadows - preserving the Provencal landscape in its most authentic form.
Comprehensive renovation work is to be planned, and the southern park surrounding the main house would benefit from a new landscape design to reveal its full potential.
Ideally located less than 2 km from year-round amenities, 20 minutes from the motorway, and 40 minutes from Avignon TGV station, the estate offers rare accessibility while preserving the peace and beauty of its natural surroundings.
This is a unique opportunity to restore and revive a historic Provençal domain, blending heritage, authenticity, and the timeless charm of the Luberon countryside.
