MAS DE BADET is an extremely rare and historic estate located in the south of France, covering approximately 617 acres. This private farm and ranch offer unique direct access to the sea via the Le Petit Rhone river, situated in the protected Camargue region, just five miles from the renowned 9th-century coastal town of Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer on the Mediterranean Sea. Some structures of Mas de Badet date back to around 1750, nestled among magnificent 300-year-old umbrella pine trees. The estate includes a small chapel, with part of the domain historically used as a monastery and vineyard. The main house spans over 5,000 square feet across two levels, featuring 8 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, and 3 dressing rooms. It retains its original beam ceilings, stone and terra cotta floors, and 5 stone wood-burning fireplaces. The grand reception room boasts an oversized cooking fireplace, and the backyard features an original stone fountain in the garden. The courtyard includes four independent living quarters, each with 2-3 bedrooms for staff. Additionally, there are 7 individual apartment houses, each with 1-2 bedrooms for seasonal farm workers. The farm includes +/- 490 acres of fully irrigated cropland used for rice, organic rice, and melons, with 2 pump houses and levees. The remaining land consists of pastures for livestock and extensive horse facilities, including 51 stalls, multiple paddocks, horse walkers, round pens, and a ¾-mile training track for both standardbreds and thoroughbreds. The Camargue region is known for its wild landscapes, marshlands, lagoons, and abundant wildlife, including pink flamingos and the native white breed of wild horses. The area is also famous for bullfighting and its historical connection to artists like Van Gogh, Picasso, and Ernest Hemingway. This exceptional property is currently a working farm generating revenue but offers potential for tourism development. It presents a unique opportunity to own a French-style ranch in the beautiful south of France.
