Introduction

Beautiful 16th century residence bordered by a big natural stone terrace with a lovely Provençal basin. Superb historic property in an exceptional setting, nestled in a little corner of paradise. This impressive building was renovated into a restaurant 30 years ago. It offers reception services and serves fine cuisine to clients from all over the world. There is one private apartment plus staff accommodation (or guest apartment).

La Ferme du Pezet is approximately 1.5 hrs drive from Marseille Airport and the Aix-en-Provence TGV. At 25 minutes by car from the big city of Carpentras and about 40 minutes from the city of Avignon. Only about 5 minutes’ drive from the compact but vibrant town of Villes-sur-Auzon (1300 habitants) with all shops including a little supermarket. This property is also great for those who love hiking, cycling and enjoying nature. It is a jewel in a beautiful setting, with a clear view of the Mount Ventoux. The top of this famous ‘Tour de France’ challenge is about 35 minutes by car. By bicycle the uphill travel time is 3H35 minutes. From the top back to La Ferme de Pezet however, is only 1H12 minutes.

Description

At the moment, the domain is used as a hospitality venue: reception and event rental with a restaurant. The restaurant is still running quite successfully and the owners would like to see its journey continue in style. As a hospitality and restaurant business, as a holiday destination with guest accommodation or as a luxurious home for a big family with lots of friends. To give you an idea of the potential, in the video below you can see a 3D simulation of the property redesigned as a spacious and luxurious family home.

Ground floor: the business
The main feature here is a huge reception room of almost 200m2. There are also a dining room of 132m2, sand a second dining room of 227 m2. Other rooms: group entrance hall, big kitchen 40 m2, washing area, bar room, dishwashing area, professional restaurant kitchen 20 m2, Restaurant entrance hall 10.5 m2, Sanitary 13.5 m2, Restrooms 5 m2.

Exterior

Outside, great views
Outside is a paved terrace of 88 m2 with a big stone basin with fountain. Plus a veranda of 88 m2. The lovely shaded patio is ideal for (wedding) receptions. The dominant position of the domain opens up clear 360˚ views on the surrounding countryside, mainly used for wine production (grapes). The vineyards belong to a ‘bio-dynamic’ winemaker, who does 100% organic farming, so no pesticides or herbicides are used. This makes for a healthy environment with good biodiversity, with plenty of flowers, birds, bees, bats, lizards and other animals. If you need more land for a tennis court or a helicopter pad or even some vines to make your own wine, the farmer (who is one of the bigger growers in the region and owns many hectares) will probably be willing to sell you some.

Your future business?
The property has huge business potential. There is no separate fee for taking over the business, the price is all inclusive. But you are of course welcome to continue catering to weddings and other receptions, and to keep running the restaurant. The sellers (direct sale - no broker fees!) will be glad to share their business results with serious buyers who have a well-defined project. Of course, if you wish to continue the restaurant and marriage reception business, they are also available to stay on board during the start-up period.
