Built around 1850, the stone farmhouse has been entirely reimagined as a true collector’s home. Its Provençal architecture is paired with a selection of historic and contemporary furniture, creating an interior where natural materials, clean lines and meticulous attention to detail come together.
The ground floor features a spacious living room with a fireplace, a dining room, a bar opening onto the garden and a fully equipped kitchen. The upper floors comprise three bedrooms, including a 48 m² principal suite with a bedroom, office and bathroom.
A collector’s home
The interior pays tribute to Supports/Surfaces, a major movement in French art during the 1970s. The spaces are punctuated by works by Claude Viallat, Noël Dolla, Patrick Saytour, Jean-Pierre Arnal and Daniel Dezeuze from the Fondation CAB Collection.
Together, the furniture and artworks create a living interior where art is not treated as decoration, but as an everyday presence at the heart of the house.
Between architecture, art and landscape
The landscaped garden extends the dialogue between heritage, contemporary creation and Mediterranean nature. Facing the swimming pool, a monumental site-specific work by Claudia Comte becomes part of the landscape and enters into conversation with the estate’s architecture.
Le Clos also includes an independent guesthouse with two additional bedrooms, a shower room, a summer kitchen, a gym and a sauna. For an extended experience, the property can also be rented together with Maison Prouvé 58, designed in 1958 by Jean Prouvé and his son Claude and set within the grounds of the estate.
More than a property, it offers an immersive experience where architecture, design and contemporary art come together to create a distinctive way of life.
