The Luberon Firmly On La Belle France Second-Home Radar

With global accessibility and wealth mobility on the rise, the Luberon, in the heart of Provence, is increasingly on the investment radar with wealthy buyers from across Europe and beyond.

Top-class international schooling supports those looking for a primary residence, while the world-renowned culture, weather and activities entice second-home buyers. The region benefits from demand from Monaco, Italy and Switzerland, with buyers seeking holiday or weekend residences within easy reach of their main home.

WHO’S BUYING – Wealthy Europeans looking for an easily accessed holiday or permanent home with proximity to the Mediterranean.

WHAT YOU PAY – US$1.5 million will buy a four-bedroom farmhouse, around half of what you’d pay for a similarly sized property in the hills behind Cannes.

DO EXPECT – To enjoy a relaxed pace of life within a two-hour flight of London, Paris or Berlin.

WHERE TO BUY - Gordes, Roussillon, and Ménerbes: Highly sought-after perched villages known for their charm and exceptional panoramas.

L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue: Famed for its antique dealers and vibrancy. Additional sought-after villages in the Northern Luberon include Oppède, Lacoste, and Goult, each offering distinct charm with their panoramic views and tranquility. In the Southern Luberon, Lourmarin stands out with its vibrant atmosphere and numerous antique dealers, attracting those seeking a mix of culture and active lifestyle. These localities enrich the diversity of choices available, each offering unique features that cater to various needs and preferences. Accessibility (proximity to shops, schools, medical services, and main roads) is also an essential criterion for a successful purchase.
