Ideally situated in the historic centre of Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, close to one of the village’s most picturesque squares and just steps from its restaurants, galleries, cafés and shops, this remarkable character property offers the opportunity to experience village life from a truly privileged setting. Rich in history and authentic Provençal charm, the house incorporates stonework dating back to the 16th century, while its generous proportions, impressive ceiling heights and carefully preserved architectural details create a home of real atmosphere and individuality.

One of the property’s most exceptional features is its 50 m² rooftop terrace. Wonderfully private and open to the Provençal sky, it provides a rare outdoor living space in the heart of the village. Ideal for long lunches, evening drinks, entertaining or simply relaxing in the sunshine, the terrace enjoys breathtaking views across the historic rooftops of Saint-Rémy towards the surrounding landscape and the Alpilles hills.

Arranged over three slightly staggered levels, the house reveals its history through a wealth of original and characterful features while offering generous and adaptable accommodation. The principal living spaces are particularly impressive: the 33.9 m² sitting room features ceilings reaching approximately four metres, exposed beams, stone floors and a magnificent fireplace, while the 19.3 m² dining room is distinguished by its beautiful stone-vaulted ceiling. The spacious 24.3 m² kitchen, with its central island and impressive ceiling height, provides a convivial setting for everyday living and entertaining. Throughout these rooms, the combination of stone, timber and generous volumes creates a distinctly Provençal atmosphere.

The second level includes three substantial rooms measuring 30 m², 19.3 m² and 13 m², with the 19.3 m² room currently arranged as a TV/sitting room, together with two shower rooms, a separate WC, landing and hallway. The third level offers three further rooms measuring 21 m², 18.1 m² and 12.9 m², together with a generous 19 m² office, a shower room and hallway. The property is currently configured with four bedrooms and three shower rooms, with the potential to create a fifth bedroom if required. The principal suite is a particularly inviting private space, comprising a bedroom, sitting area, shower room and its own private terrace. A second bedroom benefits from its own en-suite shower room, while the remaining bedrooms are served by an additional shower room.

Adding to the individuality of the house is a distinctive split-level TV/sitting room and study, internally connected by a timber staircase, with each level also independently accessible from the main staircase. This unusual arrangement creates an adaptable space that could serve a variety of purposes, while two additional guest WCs with washbasins provide further convenience. Air conditioning completes this atmospheric village home, bringing modern-day comfort to a property steeped in centuries of history.

Combining 16th-century stonework, exceptional volumes, authentic Provençal architecture, flexible four-to-five-bedroom accommodation and a remarkable 50 m² rooftop terrace, this is a rare opportunity in the historic heart of one of Provence’s most sought-after villages. From morning coffee in a picturesque square and the weekly Provençal market to restaurants, galleries and boutiques, the Saint-Rémy lifestyle can be enjoyed entirely on foot, while the rooftop terrace provides a wonderfully private retreat above the village, with views towards the Alpilles hills.
