Availability & Rates

Purchase price & Process

We are selling Le Montagard for € 780,000 excluding inventory (but includes the new kitchen with its appliances). At the time of writing, this equates to approximately:

CHF 720,000

GBP 666,000

USD 890,000

AUD 1,285,000

Since there is no agency involved, no additional commission needs to be considered.

Selling privately — how does that work in France? In France, all property sales — whether through an agent or direct — by law are overseen by a notaire (a state-regulated legal officer) who handles and prepares the pre-purchase and the final sales contract, title verification, and the transfer of funds and title deeds. Buying directly from an owner is very common here, and means neither party pays agency commission. Agency commissions in France are exceptionally high compared to other countries. The saving on a property at this price is typically EUR 40,000–50,000.

The so called notaire fee is a fixed %-age of the property purchase price (excludes the share of the kitchen and furnishings) and includes all fees such as any stamp duties or similar. If needed, we can point you in the direction of a notaire who speaks your language.

An additional amount for the inventory would be agreed separately.

ABOUT US

We are a couple with a multi-national background who met during our student days in Switzerland and found each other again many years later.

In the course of our lives, we have lived in a total of seven countries and a few years ago set out to find a place to live and realise our dream of renovating a property.

We were always captivated by Provence from our many travels to this area. Even more were we seduced by the Mont Ventoux region with everything this stunning area has to offer. And so we found our dream project here at Le Montagard, a wonderful spot which we painstaikingly morphed into this fabulous home it has become.

We look forward to showing you this piece of paradise.

Yours,

Alexandra & Adam
