For Sale – À Vendre

Some 20 years ago, as uninitiated first-time French home buyers, we missed the nuance in crude handmade signs in our village saying À Vendre and Vendu. The first was an opportunity; the second, a disappointment, as it indicates that the property is already sold. We eagerly inquired about several vendu properties before we figured it out.

Here is an opportunity à vendre: a charming "Chambre d'Hote or Bed & Breakfast in the provençal hilltop village of Venasque, is now for sale as the owners retire and move on to their beloved Morocco. La Maison aux Volets Bleus is suitable as a large residence, second home or as a bed & breakfast.

 

Amenities:

• 6 ensuite rooms for guests
• Private quarters for owners on the top floor
• Stone courtyard entrance full of flowers, bistro tables and little fountain
• Patio and terrace overlooking dramatic views
• Salon with provençal fireplace, large picture windows, lots of built-ins
• Kitchen, eating nook and wet bar
• Laundry facilities
• Stone cave suitable for renovation as a wine cellar

 

Offered at 1,200,000€ ($1,596,000US)
