Provencal farmhouse
Investing in a farmhouse in the sun
Are you in love with the sound of cicadas and the fragrance of lavender ? Then it’s time you also fell in love with a farmhouse in Provence. These houses speak with a distinctive local voice.
An historic farmhouse at the foot of the Dentelles de Montmirail mountains, a 19th century Provençal house with two beautiful mazets (small farm cottages) or an 18th century aristocratic fortified mansion. The Provençal term mas shares the same Latin root as maison and manoir. It is a large stone- built property whose purpose was primarily agricultural. The original owners of these farmhouses in Provence, the Camargue and the Luberon were essentially wheat and vegetable farmers. So it’s not unusual for these buildings to be surrounded by large expanses of farmland.
