Villa La Combe des Selves

Villa La Combe des Selves is a private, 220-acre estate nestled within the secluded rural countryside of Provence. Surrounded by green lawns, forest, and private lakes, the estate provides a tranquil base for large groups seeking space and privacy.

Within its expansive grounds, this luxury estate offers plenty of space for relaxation and recreation. There are two heated swimming pools, including a 12-metre infinity pool perched along the hillside overlooking rolling forest views, and a hidden ornamental pool offering a tranquil dip surrounded by formal gardens. The estate’s grounds also contain three serene lakes, a floodlit tennis court, a pétanque pitch, and a helipad. A unique feature is a treehouse platform complete with a hammock chill zone, reached via a wooden bridge.

Moreover, there are vast stone-paved terraces, manicured lawns, and shady trees fitted with hanging woven chairs and hammocks. An elevated outdoor lounge area sits beneath a large pergola, furnished with deep-seated sofas, low wooden tables, and an outdoor wine fridge. The other half of this terrace houses a long dining table providing al fresco dining alongside a fully equipped outdoor kitchen with a barbecue, wood-fired pizza oven, and breakfast bar seating.

This nine-bedroom property offers a peaceful retreat across a main bastide and guest cottage. Inside, the villa design balances rustic-chic elegance with contemporary luxury; traditional stone walls, exposed timber beams, and vaulted ceilings are paired with modern amenities.

The ground floor features a cosy living room centred around a grand open fireplace set into an exposed stone wall. Curved archways lead into a separate dining area beneath a smooth barrel-vaulted ceiling, with a long wooden dining table ideal for convivial dinner parties. A fitted kitchen contains a central island with a breakfast bar, and high timber-beamed ceilings with hanging light fixtures. A grand spiral staircase leads to the upper accommodation.

The bedrooms are split between the main bastide and the guest cottage, and are finished with neutral tones, traditional tile flooring, and classic timber furnishings for a homely feel. The main bastide accommodates seven bedrooms across four floors, all featuring en-suite or private bathrooms. The guest cottage holds two additional en-suite bedrooms, along with its own kitchen and living room, perfect for those seeking extra privacy.

With its widespread layout, extensive sports facilities, and vast private grounds, Villa La Combe des Selves delivers an authentic Provençal retreat.
