Water Lily House is set within its own 20-acre estate ensuring you feel totally immersed in the beauty, peace and privacy of your surroundings. Whether strolling around the renowned formal gardens, playing tennis or basking by one of its two swimming pools, it is the perfect place to unwind and spend quality time with family and friends. Just a 10-minute drive from artistic Saint-Rémy, this beautiful residence has all the charm of a secluded paradise yet is a short drive from all the best that Provence has to offer.

The main house is a beautiful old mas decorated in keeping with the charm and character of the local Provencal area. The kitchen is new yet with a rustic feel and has a large La Cornue cooker and leads through to a traditional and intimate dining room. For relaxing indoors there is a formal drawing room with fireplace and an air conditioned lounge. All the ground floor rooms look out to the sensational gardens. The terrace is the perfect place to sit and soak up the view and the large outdoor dining table is protected from the midday sun by leafy trees.

The owner has recently converted an outbuilding into a simply stunning indoor dining area where you can feast with family and friends in beautiful surroundings. Meanwhile, guests can rest well across ten bedrooms (some with air-conditioning) and seven bathrooms. 

The magnificent gardens at Water Lily House are famous throughout the gardening world for their outstanding beauty and originality - they have inspired gardeners the world over. The garden is divided into separate areas each with its special atmosphere. Within the formal landscaped gardens are two swimming pools. The main swimming pool is situated within The African Garden where you can enjoy doing lengths overlooked by the lifelike giraffe and elephants.

The adjoining Pool House continues the African themed décor and has its own summer kitchen. There is a large built in Weber BBQ and outdoor dining area for days when you don’t want to leave the pool. You will also find a bathroom and wonderful outdoor shower making sure the whole area is completely self-sufficient to the main house.

The tennis court is at the front of the house and can be reached from the African Garden swimming pool through a lavender pathway. The tennis court has an inbuilt basketball net and two inbuilt football nets, ensuring hours of family fun - with floodlights, it's especially great in the evening after a long summers day. 

Water Lily House is perfect getaway whether you are a big family or a group gathering, there is something here for everyone!
