Mas Sauvageon

Mas Sauvageon rises from the ancient landscape of Saint-Remy-de-Provence with the effortless beauty of a property that has been shaped by centuries of Provencal weather, light, and tradition. This is a fully realized private estate, a traditional mas restored and appointed to meet every standard of contemporary luxury while retaining the essential character of its origins: the rough stone walls, the heavy timber beams, the terracotta floors, and the quietness that belongs only to the genuine countryside of the South of France, and is available to book through The Luxury Rental.

The name Sauvageon speaks to the wild, untamed quality of the garrigue surrounding it, the aromatic scrubland of rosemary, thyme, and cistus that covers the limestone hills of the Alpilles and perfumes the air throughout the year. The property sits within this landscape with complete comfort, its gardens and terraces connecting the interior of the mas to the surrounding countryside in a way that feels entirely natural.

The swimming pool is the centerpiece of outdoor life, surrounded by a terrace of generous proportions with shaded seating areas and alfresco dining spaces that make long meals and longer afternoons equally practicable and equally pleasant. The gardens around the pool feature mature olive trees, clipped box hedges, and lavender borders that bloom with intensity from late spring through midsummer. Beyond the formal garden, the garrigue begins, wild and fragrant and spectacular in its own unmanicured way.

For those who enjoy staying active, the property offers access to both golf and tennis. Housekeeping is provided throughout the stay. A private chef brings the full resources of the Provencal larder to the table: market produce from Saint-Remy, olive oil pressed from trees that have stood for generations, the wines of the Alpilles appellation, and the herbs and seasonal vegetables that define the cooking of this region. Meals here, whether taken inside or outside depending on the season and the mood, are among the great pleasures of a stay at Mas Sauvageon.

Saint-Remy-de-Provence is one of the most complete small towns in France, with a weekly market renowned across Provence, a cultural program that punches above its weight, and a restaurant scene of genuine ambition. The Alpilles natural park begins at the edge of the town and offers hiking, cycling, and riding in landscapes that have barely changed since Van Gogh painted them from the window of the Saint-Paul-de-Mausole asylum nearby. Les Baux-de-Provence, the Roman ruins of Glanum, the Camargue wetlands, and the walled city of Avignon are all within easy reach.

For guests who have been looking for a Provencal property that balances the wildness of the garrigue landscape with the pleasures of a fully staffed and superbly equipped private estate, Mas Sauvageon is precisely the answer. The Luxury Rental is delighted to make it available to guests whose standards match their ambitions, and we encourage early enquiry to secure availability during the summer months, when demand for properties of this quality consistently exceeds supply.
