Explore A Historic Farmhouse In Provence With Modern Rustic Interiors
This article explores Le Mas de Chabran, an 18th-century Provencal farmhouse situated in Maussane-les-Alpilles, a village recognized as one of France's most beautiful. The property, renovated by architect Alain Meylan and interior designer Liliana Atilova, seamlessly blends historical charm with modern and contemporary design elements. The renovation respectfully maintains the farmhouse's original character while introducing updated aesthetics and functionalities.
The farmhouse boasts extensive facilities, including a home cinema, a spa equipped with a massage room, sauna, and a yoga/fitness area. For private travelers, the property even includes a helipad. Its exterior is equally impressive, set at the base of the Massif des Alpilles mountains, surrounded by olive groves and vineyards, which are a source of local olive oils and wines. Mature and meticulously maintained gardens envelop the farmhouse, providing shaded areas ideal for the warm summer months.
The interior design prioritizes a fresh and light ambiance, moving away from traditional, heavy decor often associated with such historic properties. The living areas are furnished with contemporary pieces, such as plump, linen-covered sofas and armchairs, creating a casual and breezy atmosphere. Floor-to-ceiling glass doors connect these spaces to the outdoors, offering views of landscaped gardens, a heated swimming pool, and stables. The design philosophy behind Le Mas de Chabran is a harmonious integration of modern and rustic elements, showcasing historic architectural features alongside contemporary furniture, lighting, and art. A distinctive equestrian theme subtly runs through several rooms, reflecting the designers' passion for horses, and incorporating unique decorative pieces, like repurposed farmhouse equipment displayed as modern sculptures, braided leathers, and a neutral color palette complemented by contemporary artworks.
The kitchen is a focal point of modern design, featuring an all-black aesthetic with fluted details and dramatic black marble worktops and splash-backs. Adjacent to the kitchen, the dining room continues this modern theme with statement pendant lighting that adds a contemporary flair. The property accommodates up to 16 guests across its eight bedrooms. Each bedroom is uniquely appointed with Pierre Frey fabrics, bespoke king-size beds, flat-screen televisions, and en-suite bathrooms. The juxtaposition of modern furniture against the traditional tiled floors and rustic walls creates a fresh and inviting aesthetic. Modern art and lighting fixtures are prevalent throughout the bedrooms, enhancing the contemporary feel, and balconies offer picturesque views of the surrounding landscape.
The bathrooms blend rustic tiles and materials with modern fittings, ensuring comfort and style. Outdoors, a terrace with a modern farmhouse-style dining table and chairs is perfect for al fresco dining. The heated swimming pool is lined with sun loungers, providing a luxurious space for relaxation. The grounds are further enriched with century-old olive trees, scenic ponds, a vegetable garden, and a private chapel, offering a comprehensive and idyllic retreat. The property, Le Mas de Chabran, is available for rent through villacollective.com.
