In the Provençal village of Barjols, this 19th-century house has been restored across two distinct periods, preserving its original character while adapting to modern life. Set within a 2,065sqm site, the property spans 455sqm with seven bedrooms.

A major renovation in 1910 introduced bespoke electrification, painted cement tiles and decorative finishes commissioned for an Italian owner. More recently, the current owners, both artists, undertook a second restoration using traditional materials and techniques, including lime plaster, ceramic repairs and hand-laid cement tiles.

Painted cement floors, stained glass, marble fireplaces, mouldings, timber doors and century-old wallpapers remain throughout the house, alongside a period kitchen centred around a stone sink from Cassis.

Outside, stone walls, water basins and shaded paths wind through more than 50 heritage rose bushes, orchards, irises, peonies and agapanthus, following the layout of Barjols’ historic Renaissance gardens. The property also includes three garages, two stone outbuildings awaiting restoration and a series of additional annexes. Located in Provence Verte, the house is listed for €1.24 million.
