I had actually seen the ad for a mazet rental in the Vaucluse region a few years ago. But then we discovered Simiane la Rotonde and never looked back. It was available and I knew immediately upon arriving that we had discovered a true find. The late afternoon light played in the trees and through the hills rolling out in front of us. No roads, no cars, no electric cables. Most certainly and soonβ¦. That made me smile! We both felt that if it had an extra room and a covered garage that we could live there.
I keep meaning to send you an email! Their story is really interesting. More from me soon! And yes, where there is saucisson, there is Ben. Your first photo of the house looks like something out of a dream. Beautiful photo.
Also absolute privacy. How rare is that. Oh, and Kipling must be a happy lad with those strawberries to eat. I love tiny little cottages like thist. What a perfect place. When I first saw the photo I thought,"Is this where Heather is going to live now? What a perfect little piece of tranquility and beauty. The mazet looks like a house that grew organically, this way and that, to take advantage of the best views. A great place for a rest. To your many talents about which I know, add your ability to find what for me are indeed bijoux in which to relax and revive.
This one looks just about perfect! While they might lose some money by not renting out their house, they would gain four of the best tenants including dog companions and potential dog sitters for the whole summer and not have to deal with revolving renters.
And you four would have a wonderful place to spend the summer and a base from which to continue your search for your next home. Now, to go and look up "mazet" in my French dictionary! Happy for you all, Leslie in Oregon.
