In this episode of House Hunters International, a couple from northern California, Lisa and Mark, are looking to make their dream of living in Provence, France, a reality. They have always been drawn to the charming countryside and picturesque towns of the region, and now they are ready to take the leap and find their ideal home in the area.
Lisa and Mark currently live in a large suburban home in California, but they are looking for a change of pace and a simpler, more relaxed lifestyle. They are both retired and looking forward to spending more time pursuing their hobbies and enjoying the beautiful surroundings of Provence. Lisa is an artist and loves to paint, while Mark is an avid cyclist and is excited to explore the nearby villages and vineyards on his bike.
The couple is working with real estate agent David Jones, who has over 20 years of experience helping expats find their perfect homes in Provence. David shows Lisa and Mark three different properties in the region, each with its own unique charm and appeal.
The first property is a beautifully renovated stone farmhouse in the Luberon region, surrounded by rolling hills and fields of lavender. The house has four bedrooms, a large kitchen, and a spacious terrace perfect for outdoor dining and entertaining. Lisa and Mark are immediately drawn to the rustic, yet elegant, style of the home and the tranquil setting.
The second property is a modern villa in the picturesque village of Menerbes, perched on a hilltop overlooking the Luberon valley. The home has sleek, modern lines and large windows that provide stunning views of the surrounding countryside. Inside, the villa has an open-plan living and dining area, three bedrooms, and a covered outdoor terrace with a pool. Lisa and Mark love the contemporary design and the convenient location in the heart of the village.
The third property is a charming stone house in the historic town of St. Remy-de-Provence, known for its quaint streets and bustling market. The house has three bedrooms, a small courtyard garden, and a rooftop terrace with views of the town and the Alpilles mountain range. Lisa and Mark are charmed by the character and history of the home, and appreciate the proximity to restaurants, shops, and cultural attractions.
