About this property
Charming villa, exceptional view over the rooftops of Manosque, heated swimming pool
LOCATION:
The house is located on the Mont d'or hill, and was built in 1967 in the "Violettes" park: a classified wooded area created in 1880, which it overlooks with no other view than the remarkable tall trees, the roofs of Manosque and the campanile...
It enjoys an exceptional view: the same as the house of Giono, the illustrious writer, neighbor and friend...
The house is set in the heart of nature, in a 900m2 walled garden, facing due west, with maximum sunshine and magnificent sunsets over the Lubéron in the distance.
Access is via a private lane from Montée des Vraies Richesses ( a Giono novel... obviously! )towards Mont d'Or.
