Provence
Provençal farmhouses, villas, houses and apartments for sale, all with an EPC rating of A, B or C: that’s our starting point. Many go further, with solar panels, water self-sufficiency and natural summer cooling. Authentic Provence, with energy savings built in.
Buying a sustainable mas, house or apartment in Provence
In Provence, we only list traditional mas (Provençal stone farmhouses), villas, village houses and apartments with an EPC rating of A, B or C. That is our starting point across the Vaucluse, Bouches-du-Rhône and Alpes-de-Haute-Provence: in the heart of the Luberon, from Gordes to L’Isle-sur-la-Sorgue, around Mont Ventoux, from Avignon to Aix-en-Provence, from Marseille to Cassis, in the Alpilles around Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, and as far as the Forcalquier area.
Here, sustainable homes combine authenticity with performance. Stone, lime, timber and terracotta: sustainable materials that preserve the soul of Provençal houses. Thick walls and good insulation for natural summer cooling, without constant air conditioning. Solar panels to make the most of generous sunshine. And, as summers grow drier, water self-sufficiency and water recycling: rainwater tanks, wells or springs, and greywater reuse.
Authentic character, with lasting value
A well-renovated home means cool thick walls in summer, controlled running costs in winter, and a property that holds its value, whether as a main or second home, in a market where energy ratings matter more and more.
Our listings come from well-established Provençal agencies who know every village.
Frequently asked questions
Can an old stone mas achieve a good EPC rating?
Yes. With a renovation suited to traditional buildings (insulation, windows, heating), a stone mas can reach an EPC rating of A, B or C without losing its character.
How can a home in Provence be self-sufficient in water?
Rainwater tanks, wells or springs, and greywater reuse can cover garden watering and part of household needs, reducing reliance on the mains supply during droughts.
