Lourmarin, Provence
Provence · Vaucluse
In the south of the Luberon, among the vines of the AOC Luberon, the olive trees and the cherry orchards, Lourmarin is a village listed among the most beautiful villages of France, living to the rhythm of its Friday morning market. Camus and Bosco rest in the village cemetery, and the château of the 15th and 16th centuries, the first Renaissance in Provence, stands over the lanes: the scene is set. The property market, for its part, stays confidential: village houses and mas included, almost nothing is listed.

The essentials
Home Select is a property finder in Lourmarin, founded in 2011, searching for mas and village houses exclusively on behalf of the buyer, from the lanes of the village to the hills of the south Luberon. The firm opens access to off-market properties in a confidential market, where houses change hands without ever being listed. Fees 100% on success: nothing is due before the purchase completes.
Lourmarin at a glance
01The market
From Pertuis et La Tour-d’Aigues to Cucuron et Vaugines, the median gap reaches +13 %: the neighbourhood prices the property as much as its floor area.
Lourmarin is the most literary village of the south Luberon, and its property market resembles it: confidential, muffled, ruled by trust. The village houses of the centre, often modest in surface, sell when an inheritance or a departure is decided; the mas of the hills, with their vines and their olives, more so. Little is ever listed: monitoring and network close the sale, and that is a craft.
The vineyard of the AOC Luberon borders the village, and the château of the 15th and 16th centuries gives it its horizon: the setting sustains demand from far beyond the region, and Aix-en-Provence, 45 minutes away, organises it. The clientele, French and international, shares the same horizon: a house of honest stone, a manageable garden, the Friday market on foot. With such narrow supply, the right properties move fast, often without ever being advertised.
Then comes the caution of the fabric: tight party walls, thick and damp walls, frequent heavy renovation in the old houses. In the hills, water, accesses and the status of the agricultural land are checked before the offer. And the listing among the most beautiful villages of France subjects façades and roofs to rules: the works budget is built around permit delays, not against them.

02The neighbourhoods
The village at the bottom of its valley, vines around, hills above, the road to Bonnieux to the north: four markets along a single road.
Lanes sloping gently around the château of the 15th and 16th centuries: village houses of pale stone, tile roofs, fine residences of character. Everything is done on foot, from the cafés to the Friday morning market. Surfaces are counted and properties rare: they often sell before being listed, by word of mouth.
The vines of the AOC Luberon ring the village: wine estates, mas with their land, olive trees and cherry orchards on the edges. This is a market of estates more than of houses, handled between professionals and families. The appellation organises the landscape and protects the horizons: a heritage argument that counts at resale.
The hills of the south Luberon above the village: isolated mas, private lanes, farmland and woods. Absolute quiet, on the condition that water, drainage and accesses are verified. Properties sell confidentially, often between forewarned neighbours: without monitoring, you simply never see them pass.
The road to Bonnieux climbs north through the massif: properties on the edge of the land, larger plots, views opening over the village and the vines. At 45 minutes from Aix-en-Provence, it is the address of those who want the Luberon without giving up the city. A discreet market, handled by notaries as much as by agencies.
Sloping lanes, houses of pale stone, the 15th-16th century château on the horizon: life on foot, the Friday market, counted surfaces and confidential sales.
Estates and mas among vines, olive trees and cherry orchards: a market of agricultural properties, handled between connoisseurs, where the appellation organises landscape and value.
Isolated mas in the hills of the south Luberon, private lanes, absolute quiet: water, drainage and accesses are checked before the offer, and the view is kept.

03Living and buying
On Friday morning, the market comes down into the streets and Lourmarin receives the whole south Luberon: the producers, the neighbours from Bonnieux, the Aixois come for the weekend, baskets and greetings. The rest of the week, the village lives at its own pace: cafés, galleries, craftsmen, a rhythm that does not stop in November. The vines of the AOC Luberon border the last houses, and the road slips between the olive trees and the cherry orchards.
Camus rests in the village cemetery, Henri Bosco beside him: readers come as one pays a visit, and the village is used to accents from elsewhere. The château of the 15th and 16th centuries, the first Renaissance in Provence, lives to the rhythm of exhibitions and concerts, above the tile roofs. Aix-en-Provence is 45 minutes away: close enough for everything, far enough for calm, and that is exactly the village’s equation.
Three projects, three markets
In Lourmarin, investment is made in stone and vines: restored village houses and mas of the hills make up a rare stock, in a market that does not advertise itself. Seasonal lets work through the fine season, and year-round lets find tenants in a village that lives all year. Works obey the rules of the listed village, and the energy of old buildings demands a serious plan: yield is built, it is not decreed.
A second home in Lourmarin gets used all year: the Friday market, the village tables, the cherry trees in spring and the harvest in late season. Aix 45 minutes away and the TGV at Avignon about an hour away make the house workable from Paris, at the rhythm of weekends. Remote management leans on loyal craftsmen, and stone tolerates absence badly: a shut house must be maintained, not merely kept.
Settling year-round in Lourmarin means living in a village that stays a village: 1,200 residents, the Friday market, the château above the roofs, and Aix-en-Provence 45 minutes away for the rest. The village school and the everyday shops are enough for families, and the TGV at Avignon, about an hour away, keeps Paris within reach. The choice lies between the lanes of the village and the mas of the hills: two lives, one address.
04From abroad
Aix-en-Provence is 45 minutes by road, Avignon and its TGV station about an hour, Marseille Provence airport an hour as well: for a village at the bottom of the south Luberon, Lourmarin remains better connected than it looks. The roads of the massif are taken slowly, the valley opens quickly: the address is isolated without being cut off. That is the equation owners living between two homes are looking for.
The literary village draws a discreet community: writers, artists, academics from nearby Aix, and an international clientele that returns year after year. Camus rests here, and readers from all over the world stop at the cemetery as if at home: Lourmarin is used to foreign accents. Services are shared between the village, neighbouring Bonnieux and Aix 45 minutes away: close enough to get everything, far enough to be quiet.
Friday organises the week, and the year opens in spring: from March to June the properties meant to be lived in by summer trade. July and August belong to holidaymakers and terraces, and the September return reopens serious viewings. Late season, with the grape harvest in the AOC Luberon vines, is the finest window to visit: the village breathes, and owners have time to talk.

05The service
A buyer-side search mandate, a written method, fees due on success. Here is what you entrust to Home Select in Lourmarin.
They search on your behalf and for you alone, from the written brief to the checking of every document up to the final deed: the six steps are detailed below. Home Select works for the buyer, never for the seller.

Two offers, the same full service: the Exclusive offer, an exclusive mandate, 2.5% of the net purchase price, minimum €10,000 incl. VAT, at every budget; the Confidential offer, a simple mandate reserved for projects of €2m and above, 1.5% of the net purchase price, dedicated to off-market properties.

45 days of search on average, 3 viewings on average instead of more than 40, and a first answer within one working day.
The six steps of your hunt

A written brief, and a search launched within the week.

What negotiation weighs
Home Select is paid 100% on success: nothing is due until you have bought.
The houses of the village press close: light comes from the sky, a patio or a roof terrace, and sunshine changes from lane to lane. Come back at different hours, open the surveys, and distrust advertised views of the château: they are checked standing up, windows open.
Around Lourmarin, olive trees, cherry orchards and vines of the AOC Luberon belong to the property or to its surroundings: tenure, leases and farming methods change the use and the possible works. A mas with its land is not bought like a house with a garden: the rules are not the same.
Façades, roofs, joinery: the listing among the most beautiful villages of France subjects works to approval, and the calendar lengthens. Plan the permits in the works schedule, choose craftsmen who know the village, and keep a margin: honest stone is not rushed.

09Your project
The questions common to all our cities (purchase costs, remote search, choosing your finder) are gathered on one page: all our frequently asked questions.
Because the local market has its own rules. A confidential market: houses change hands privately, often before even being shown. A property finder works for you alone, on the buyer’s side: daily monitoring, access to off-market sales, strict shortlisting and negotiation. Since 2011, Home Select has run more than 1,200 searches with this method, rated 4.8/5 on Google.
Because the village lives on trust: houses pass between families, through notaries and word of mouth, often without ever being photographed. What is listed is only a fraction of what actually trades: local monitoring makes all the difference, and it is worked at.
Yes: the road to Bonnieux and the northern slope of the massif extend the search area naturally. The two slopes have their markets, their clienteles and their rules: we know them on both sides of the ridge, and we search there with the same standards.
From Pertuis et La Tour-d’Aigues to Cucuron et Vaugines, the median gap reaches +13 %: the neighbourhood prices the property as much as its floor area.
Our searches complete in 45 days on average, with 3 viewings on the client side instead of 40 and about fifteen hours of your time. In Lourmarin, the exact calendar depends on how rare the target property is: it is framed at the brief, then held.
Through the network and direct approach: Home Select’s 15,000 professional partners surface more than 100 properties every day before they go on sale, and Home Select also contacts owners when the setting calls for it. In Lourmarin, the monitoring starts with two sectors: the village, then the AOC Luberon vineyards. That is often where the unfindable property is.
It freezes the setting, and therefore the supply: façades, roofs and joinery obey rules that slow the transformation of the village and protect what makes its value. For a buyer, that means permit delays to fold into the works budget, and a lasting scarcity that supports the value of well-restored houses. The listing is not a brochure argument: it is a heritage clause, written into every sale.
The village for life on foot, the lanes and the Friday market; the AOC Luberon vineyards for estates; the hills for isolated mas and quiet; the road to Bonnieux for larger plots halfway to Aix. Four markets, one setting: the choice is made on use, not on the postcard.
Party walls and damp in the village houses, water and drainage in the hills, the status of farmland around the mas, and the rules of the listed village for façades and roofs. None of it reads online: everything is checked on the ground, before the offer.
Yes: the vines of the AOC Luberon border the village, and some mas still harvest. These properties belong to a market of estates, handled between connoisseurs: the appellation organises the landscape as much as the value. The search must know its rules, from farming methods to planting rights.
Parisians on a second home, Aixois 45 minutes away, foreigners faithful to Camus’s village, families settling year-round after a few summers. All look for honest stone and a liveable garden in a village that stays inhabited out of season: sound demand facing narrow supply.
Home Select, a property finder in Lourmarin, charges 2.5% of the net purchase price (minimum €10,000 incl. VAT) on the Exclusive offer, or 1.5% on the Confidential offer for projects of €2m and above. Home Select is paid on success only: nothing is due until you have bought.
