Walking into the Maison de Corail feels like stepping into a serene Provençal haven. Nestled in the tranquil countryside of Saint-Étienne-du-Grès, this characterful estate offers breathtaking views of the Alpilles Valley. Spanning thirteen hectares, the property is perfectly secluded, offering a sense of escape while surrounded by nature’s beauty.
Your journey begins at the Bastide, the heart of the estate. Entering the ground floor, you are greeted by a bright and spacious lounge where light streams through large windows, connecting the indoors with the lush gardens. The charm of original wooden beams meets modern touches, creating a welcoming and homely atmosphere. The adjacent kitchen, with its high-tech appliances and sociable island seating, is a hub of activity, while the dining room invites you to linger over meals at a large, inviting table.
Heading upstairs, the three bedrooms offer a sense of calm. South-facing windows reveal stunning views over olive fields and the distant Camargue. Each bedroom is unique, from the minimalist master suite to the cosy junior room with lavender tones and soft violet walls. Every bathroom is equipped with luxurious touches, including Hermès toiletries.
Strolling across the estate, you come to the Mas, the perfect space for guests to enjoy their own privacy. The farmhouse retains its rustic charm while offering contemporary comforts. From the delightful kitchen to the shaded courtyard with its ancient hackberry tree, the Mas feels like its own retreat. The three bedrooms, each with their own bathroom, provide tranquillity with views over the gardens.
The Tower, a historic post-house, is full of character. Its stone walls and spiral staircase take you back in time, while modern amenities ensure comfort. The views from the top bedroom are truly spectacular.
Outside, life flows naturally between the estate’s four buildings. The heated swimming pools, sun-drenched terraces, and lush gardens offer endless opportunities for relaxation. Whether you’re dining al fresco in a shaded nook or wandering through the olive grove, Maison de Corail is a peaceful sanctuary for creating unforgettable memories with family and friends.
