House in the Luberon, Provence, hiking, pool, views and privacy; near golf

About

This 3-bedroom house is situated on a hilltop on the border between the departments of the Vaucluse and Alpes de Haute Provence in the protected Luberon National Park, near an 18-hole golf course and along a popular cycling route. It has a large swimming pool, surrounded by terraced gardens below the house, and commanding views of neighbouring farms and vineyards. Amid 30 acres of pine forest, groves of black truffle-producing oak trees, fields and vegetation of the Luberon, the house is private and tranquil. The perched village of Pierrevert, which hosts the only 18-hole golf course within the Luberon's borders, lies 5 kilometres east of the property, and La Bastide des Jourdans is the same distance to the west. The balcony of the house offers spectacular star-gazing and views. Aix-en-Provence is just 30 minutes away. The nearest substantial town is Manosque, gateway to the Gorges du Verdon, 15 minutes away.
