Description
A historic residence, a former coaching inn of 650 m2, magnificently renovated while respecting historical and natural materials. Space and calm, on two hectares of land surrounded by nature, 3 kilometers from the towns of Forcalquier and Mane, to the North-East of the Lubéron Regional Natural Park. The region is known and popular with tourists from all over the world, for its beauty, for the purity of its air (and therefore astronomical observation, we are at an altitude of 650m) for the sporting activities it offers (hot air balloons, trial and trekking on the Montagne de Lure), for its historical monuments, for its markets, the quality of its crafts and the presence of numerous artists. Forcalquier receives 80,000 visitors per year, the region has been developing quality tourism for several years as evidenced by the starred establishments (Couvent des Minimes 5 stars - Spa l'Occitane and La Bastide Saint Georges - 4 star Spa), and many French and foreigners have acquired second homes there. Mane is also the cradle of the L'Occitane brand in Provence, including the Research & Development laboratory specializing in natural cosmetics (a team of 100 researchers and experts) as well as the factory/garden/boutique-museum (very visited) are in Manosque, just 23 km away. The Mas is easy to access (the A51 motorway is 11km away), it can be reached from Aix en Provence in 53 minutes, from Marseille airport in 70 minutes). And also: we are an hour and a half from Avignon! It is a charming and rejuvenating hotel, with 15 spacious rooms and suites (between 18 and 46 m2) and areas dedicated to well-being, a true HEALING HOTEL which has its place in this region. The Mas, built in several phases (1700 - 1730 - 1830 - 1890 - 1950) was completely restructured by the current owners between 2012 and 2015, renovations carried out by qualified workers while respecting the vernacular architecture and concern for the health of future residents. It has interesting development potential: on the two hectares of land, 11,000 m2 are in a buildable area, and the occupancy coefficient makes it possible to consider extensions of the built areas, in particular the construction of a large reception room (the region is sought after for the organization of weddings), the development of spaces dedicated to care, accommodation for the team and various technical spaces (for example to accommodate bikers' equipment, the region being renowned for mountain biking) .
