Description from owner

Description

Set in fifteen acres, Baubesse nestles in the beautiful Alpilles hills close to Les Baux-de-Provence, an ancient village perched high on a crag, a short drive from St-Rémy-de-Provence. The area is a mecca for ramblers, joggers and cyclists. Retreat from the everyday stress and surrender your senses to the sounds and smells of Provence: birdsong, cicadas, rosemary, thyme and lavender. Treat yourself to gourmet meals from local markets and restaurants, walk in the olive grove and the many trails in nearby hills and forest preserves.

The house is surrounded by pine and mulberry trees, cypresses and oaks with wonderful views on all sides. Behind is a fine olive grove and in front, the view stretches over unspoiled countryside to where the Mediterranean can be glimpsed on the horizon. Barely a mile away lies the brand new Domaine de Manville golf course. The garden around the secluded swimming pool is surrounded by a wild mountain landscape. The infinity pool is heated for swimming from April to October. In your deck chair you can see the cliffs of Les Baux.

Five minutes away by car you can pick up fresh croissants, and local fruits and vegetables in the village of Maussane. The vibrant village has a prize-winning greengrocer, fishmonger, butchers and bakers, as well as a bank, a post office, hairdressers and convenience stores. The main square is lined with shady plane trees and packed with restaurants, and café terraces to sip a pastis or eat a pizza. A local winery (Mas de la Dame) and an olive oil producer (Castelas) are just moments away. Almost every day of the week there is a farmers market in one of the nearby villages where you will find local produce, honey and handicrafts.

Les Baux is right in the heart of Provence, ideally positioned for short excursions and day trips. It is a short distance away and well worth a visit to see the magnificent ruins of the medieval château and the world-famous Carriere des Lumieres sound and light show. The beautiful winding walk through the ancient village to the promontory passes by many tempting boutiques.

Behind Les Baux in the Val d’Enfer is the five-star hotel and restaurant L’Oustau de Baumanière where you can go for an aperitif before heading back to cook your barbecue at Baubesse.

The nearby town of Arles hosts a world-class international photography festival every Summer, with hundreds of galleries, performance spaces and pop-up restaurants, medieval ruins and a Roman coliseum. Avignon has an important theater festival and the fabulous Palais des Papes. The Mediterranean and the Camargue are less than an hour's drive, Marseille just over an hour. You can also visit the Pont du Gard, Aigues-Mortes and other historic and architectural marvels.

Response from the owner Andrius, I read this for the first time, realize it's from you and perhaps (?) you were never notifies of Nissim's passing in 2021, a few weeks after his 90th birthday. I hope the website's A.I. censors/sensors allows this message. Nissim spoke fondly of you and his trip to Lithuania and the Corunian Spit so legendary for him, his last major road trip on his own! Thanks so much for helping that come together. From me and my brother Jules. Alex Marshall
