Detached 200m2, 5 bedroom Mas, heated pool 15 x 5m, air con, 5000m2 gardens

This stunning Provencal detached house is located in the superb medieval town of Aups in the Verdon National Park in Southern France. Having fallen in love with the area many years ago, the owners could not pass the opportunity of purchasing The Mas, Aups in 2021. Set in 5000m of grounds, with its own olive grove, the property features a new 15m x 5m heated outdoor swimming pool and has been fully renovated.
The property is arranged over 200m2, offering 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms and 4 WC's. Sleeping 10/12 people, the house offers a retreat style experience in peace and quiet with incredible views across the countryside and vineyards. Located 20-25 minutes’ walk, or 2 km from the thriving market town of Aups, the area is popular for its lakes with water sports, gorges and river activities plus fantastic hiking and biking. For beach lovers there are plenty of beach areas at the lakes, or the coast is just over an hour drive away.

The property and area offers a truly idyllic location for holidays throughout the year. With summer being the peak season, it is also a popular area for spring and autumn breaks with walking and biking also being popular year-round activities.

Le Mas, Aups has been recently renovated to the highest standards, yet retaining many of the properties original features such as the wooden beams and terracotta floors. You will find a beautiful interior, styled and furnished with character and charm of the original Mas and the area.

Enjoy luxury items such as the 15m x 5m heated pool (heated from mid April holidays to the end of October), air conditioning in the 4 main bedrooms, and the stunning setting with huge flat gardens, olive groves and fruit trees. With a choice of 4 furnished terraced areas, you can enjoy the sunshine from morning to sunset.

As you enter the property via the traditional archway, you automatically get a feel for The Provence, with locally sourced furnishings and fittings and numerous arched windows framing the garden views. Looking round to the kitchen area, the modern units offer ample storage and quartz stone work surfaces give a sleek cool feel. Equipped with an American style fridge freezer, (plus a second fridge freezer in the garage), dishwasher, hob, oven, kettle, toaster, Nespresso machine, microwave and plenty of cooking equipment for groups. If you prefer cooking outside there is an open chimney style BBQ on the terrace just outside the kitchen. Double sliding doors lead from the kitchen and provide stunning views across the large furnished terrace, to the grounds with an impressive 15m x 5m swimming pool. Rental properties with such large pools are hard to find, not only you can have a distance swim if you’re a keen swimmer, but large groups can find plenty of space for their inflatables and ball games! The pool is surrounded by 80m2 of anti-slip tiled terrace to offer plenty of space, shady areas and sun-drenched spots all day. Please note there is a deep and shallow end in the pool, plus for your safety an electric rolling hard security cover.

If you can tempt yourself back inside, each of the living spaces offer a great flow, and you will never feel on top of each other, as the property offers many quiet comfortable spots for relaxation. The lounge with its original beams, 2 sets of doors to the garden, and deep comfy velour corner sofa, offers a wonderful calm feel. A huge open fire provides a focal point in the lounge and is a great addition for autumn and winter holidays. The property also has fiber Wi-Fi throughout and the lounge is equipped with a Smart TV and French television. You will also find a selection of games, books, maps and puzzles.

From the lounge, take a step through the wide archway to the sunny indoor dining area with extending wooden table and large carved oak sideboard. Again double doors lead out to the garden and a further outdoor dining terrace and in the other direction double doors lead back to the main entrance and hallway.

In the extensive grounds families have been considered greatly with table tennis, an in-ground trampoline, climbing rope, punch bag and swing, at the aptly named “fun tree”.

We are delighted that the electricity used at The Mas is via solar panels, so you can enjoy an eco-friendly stay. For the cooler months, heating is provided in all bedrooms and living areas, plus logs for the chimney are included.
