La Colombière du Château — a Rare 350-Year-Old Provençal Estate

Property Description

Summary
A rare Provençal estate steeped in more than 350 years of history.
La Colombière du Château is an exceptional 465 m² residence forming part of the historic Château of Saint-Laurent-du-Verdon domain. Originally the château's former stables and pigeonnier, this beautifully restored property combines authentic Provençal character with modern comfort.
Set on 1,680 m² of private grounds, the estate offers nine bedrooms, eight bathrooms, a fully independent two-bedroom guest apartment and a heated swimming pool, with beautiful views across the château gardens.
Rich in history yet perfectly suited to modern life, La Colombière offers exceptional flexibility as a private family home, multi-generational residence, luxury retreat or boutique hospitality property.
A unique opportunity to own a genuine piece of Provençal heritage — and become its next guardian.

Location
La Colombière occupies a unique position behind the beautifully maintained Château of Saint-Laurent-du-Verdon.
Its setting combines the tranquillity and privacy of a private residence with the extraordinary privilege of overlooking the château's historic gardens. The gardens provide a beautiful backdrop to everyday life, without the responsibility of maintaining them.
The property is ideally positioned to enjoy the landscapes and lifestyle of Provence, with easy access to the turquoise waters of Lac de Sainte-Croix and the spectacular scenery of the Gorges du Verdon.
The surrounding region offers an exceptional combination of natural beauty, historic villages, Provençal markets, outdoor activities and the relaxed art of southern French living.

Access
La Colombière is a private residence with its own access within the historic Château domain.
The property can be reached either via its private driveway, accessed from behind the house, or via the shared driveway running between the Château and the front of La Colombière.
This arrangement provides convenient and discreet access to the property while preserving its sense of privacy and separation from the Château itself.

Interior
Approximately 465 m² of living space has been carefully restored to combine modern comfort with the authentic character of the historic building.
Original architectural features have been preserved throughout, including 19th-century stone floors, two fireplaces, traditional Provençal details and the property's iconic historic pigeonnier.
The main residence comprises nine bedrooms and eight bathrooms, providing generous accommodation for family living and entertaining.
A completely independent guest apartment provides additional flexibility and includes:
Two bedrooms
Fully equipped kitchen
Bathroom
Two toilets
Private terrace
Laundry room
The configuration allows the property to adapt effortlessly to different uses — from an impressive family home to a multi-generational residence, private retreat or continuation of its established boutique B&B activity.

Exterior
Set within approximately 1,680 m² of private grounds, La Colombière enjoys a peaceful and private environment within the historic château domain.
A heated swimming pool provides the perfect setting for long Provençal summers, while views across the château gardens create an exceptional sense of space and connection with the surrounding heritage.
The property's historic stone architecture, mature surroundings and distinctive pigeonnier combine to create an exterior setting that is both elegant and deeply rooted in Provençal history.
Life here follows the rhythm of Provence: breakfast overlooking the château gardens, afternoons beside the pool and evenings beneath ancient stone walls and southern skies.
