A tree-lined drive leads you into the heart of Mas de la Rasclaouse, a traditional Provençal mas set in private Provençal grounds. Surrounded by olive trees, a cherry orchard and swathes of summer lavender, the farmhouse blends rustic character with laid-back charm. As you step into the courtyard, soak up the slow rhythm of rural life in Provence, only 2km from hilltop Eygalières, one of the region’s prettiest villages.

Inside, the mas retains its timeless appeal with warm stone walls, wood-beamed ceilings and light-filled living spaces. A piano rests in the salon for those inclined to play, while the adjoining library offers a quiet nook for reflection. The country kitchen opens directly onto the shaded terrace, perfect for leisurely lunches on warm summer days. Five bedrooms sit upstairs, offering simple comfort and views across the garden.

Outdoors, the grounds invite a slower pace. Cool off in the long swimming pool or challenge your companions to a match on the private tennis court. A boules court, table tennis and sauna offer moments of play and relaxation, while a pizza oven and barbecue promise convivial evenings under the stars. From cherry blossom in spring to the golden light of late summer, the gardens shift with the seasons and bring the best of Provence to your doorstep.

The mas lies just minutes from the captivating village of Eygalières, where cobbled lanes, welcoming cafés and a bustling Friday market capture the charm of southern France. Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, with its leafy boulevards and vibrant cultural life, is a short drive away, as are the Roman treasures of Arles, the dramatic rock village of Les Baux and the UNESCO World Heritage sites of Avignon.

Whether gathering with family or enjoying a traditional retreat, Mas de la Rasclaouse offers a sense of space and authenticity in one of Provence’s most beloved corners.
