A reinvented barn, blending history and comfort

Some stones still hold the memory of bygone days. In front of the house, the cobbled path still bears witness to the time when people worked here, in rhythm with the seasons and village life. In Villars, on the edge of a lively hamlet in the Luberon, this former 150 sqm stone barn was renovated in 2007 by a couple of painters, in a loft style that blends authenticity with contemporary lines. Stone, wood, and metal converse in open, light-filled spaces, where the original architecture retains its full presence. On the garden level, the fully equipped kitchen and dining room are arranged in an open-plan space, extended by a terrace overlooking the garden. The living room, directly connected to the cobbled path, includes an alcove converted into a sleeping area as well as a shower room with toilet. A laundry room and a boiler room complete this level. Upstairs, a spacious mezzanine houses a second enclosed bedroom with glass walls, an office area, and a bathroom equipped with a shower, bathtub, and toilet. Set on 2,412 sqm of land, olive trees and mature oaks create a preserved natural setting. A 10 sqm in-ground swimming pool, a pétanque court, and two storage sheds complete the amenities, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living. For comfort, the house features a heat pump providing underfloor heating and cooling in summer, supplemented by a wood-burning stove. It is connected to water and electricity, fiber optic internet, and mains drainage. The renovation allows for immediate occupancy, with no work required. Located about ten minutes from Apt and approximately one hour from the Avignon TGV station, this unique house offers a different way of living in the Luberon, a blend of rural heritage, artistic spirit, and a relaxed lifestyle.
