Environment ✧ scrub wood hills, vineyards along wide river valley

Services ✧ all

Access ✧ station 30mins walk: 1h30 Marseille, 4h30 Paris

Dedicated units likely for part-time use only.

Area ✧ small typical provencale town with others around; currently undergoing renewal with several squares being pedestrianised
at this size with likely high demand it probably wouldn't operate as a hub but it may be possible to open some space for drop-in coworking
an auditorium is errected in the neigbouring square for events
✦ public park 10mins also being renewed
minimart 2 ticks, plus co-op local producer store; Monoprix (mid-market supermarket) and organic shop 10mins walk, big supermarkets 30mins/bus
✦ lots of restaurants (inc sushi and one good 'locavore'), cafes, teashops, patisseries…
✦ 25mins walk tennis/10 bike, inc 2 indoor
Sisteron 35mins train
✦ Aix 40mins train (but plus walk to station, a cycleway is being created and thus easy by scooter, and there are busses)
20mins on lanes to hikes / 10mins bike
✦ lavender 30mins
✦ Apt and much of the Luberon within 45mins
✦ lake kayaking 30mins
✦ 45mins-1h Montagne Saint Victoire (Aix), big turquoise lake and gorges, plus sisteron and its surrounding escarpments (1800m)
Aix TGV bus 1h, last 9:30pm
✦ great for international rail connections with last departure Paris at 5:30pm or night train
✦ for flights that are suitably timed without a wait there's a direct airport bus in 1h20 (15:14, 18:30, 21:05) otherwise bus to the station then train
✦ rail links for Barcelona are not currently adequately timed
✦ direct train to Cloud Citadel for those mixing their stays up and combining mountains
Property ✧ this kind of price in this region is rare, in this case likely mainly due to size and previous use as offices (requiring significant replanning to convert to apartments) however some parts are immediately usable; mostly good condition thus only interior refitting and the weird courtyard annexes
town centre and entire length of one end of a fairly quiet square soon to acquire a small garden directly in front of the building; the square currently has a restaurant and a cafe at the opposite end
✦ (garden is rated better due to variety both in the property and outside)
3 parcels, 133 east, ??south-east, 563 south
✦ circa 100m2 usable per floor * 4
✦ 15m2 roof terrace/orangerie however no views, could probably be enlarged to 30m2
✦ 35m2 courtyard and some balconies over it
✦ good large doors onto square for coworking
