Urgent Retirement Sale/All Offers Considered

6 Bedroom Villa with pool in Provence and Separate Cottage + there is an optional adjacent parcel of land with permission to develop

And now for something completely different and very special.....
'Villa Romantique' is a stunning stone-built hilltop villa with views stretching for more than 40 miles over the Provence countryside. There is a truly unique and wonderful Romanesque-style colonnaded circular pool, with a sun terrace, a summer kitchen, a barbecue and a shaded summer lounge. Plus there is a separate cottage gite set discretely in the corner of the gardens.

You are superbly located in the 'golden circle' created by beautiful Avignon, the Luberon, St Remy de Provence, Arles, the Camargue, Nimes, Uzes and the Pont du Gard.

The property is built around an old stone tower and renovated with immense style and an abundance of love and care to provide a very high standard of accommodation, combining old-style charm, many original features and a genuine Provencal ambiance, yet with up to date comforts and facilities.

The property basks in the sunshine and the very special light of this Provence Languedoc region and is set in a delightful mature garden amidst the intoxicating fragrances of oleander, wisteria and lavender and among pine, cypress, and an abundance of olive trees.

This spacious villa has 3 excellent reception rooms, a large kitchen, a laundry room, loads of storage, and with 6 large double or twin bedrooms and 5 bath or shower rooms and 5 WCs it very comfortably accommodates any number up to 12 or 13 people with ease, and the cottage gite - 'La Petite Villa Romantique' - accommodates a further 2, 3 or 4.

This property will appeal to anyone who loves Provence, Languedoc and the south of France, and who is also looking for a fantastic opportunity to benefit from an established and very significant income which can be earned in a variety of different ways. Not only for photo shoots and filming, it is also a perfect location as a wedding reception venue (and there are several hotels nearby who will accommodate all the additional numbers of wedding guests), and it gives a very substantial income from holiday rentals.

Option 1. You live permanently in this beautiful 'Villa Romantique' and have a rental income ( holiday or long-term ) from the cottage gite- 'La Petite Villa Romantique'.

Option 2. You live in this beautiful villa throughout the off-season, and then simply move to the cottage gite when the villa is let in the high season.. NOTE: there is an established income of GBP £ 6,050 sterling per week ( 7,100 Euros per week ) for the Villa, and GBP £ 850 sterling (990 Euros per week ) for 'La Petite Villa'.. The weekly rental price has been the same for many years, so a rental increase is long overdue. There is now plenty of scope to increase the rental income.

Option 3. Own this beautiful villa as a second home ( residence secondaire ) and enjoy it whenever you wish - with the option to have a full-time resident caretaker-couple living in the cottage gite - who can be your guardian/concierge/driver - airport transfer service/personal assistant/gardener/pool maintenance man/handyman and cleaners etc. - so that the property will be ready for you at a moment's notice at any time whenever you want to spend time there.

Option 4. Remain resident in your existing home and run 'Villa Romantique' and 'La Petite Villa Romantique' as a very rewarding and substantial holiday lettings business giving you an extremely good income. This is an Award Winning rental income property with excellent 5-star reviews.
