Living in Goult, an authentic village in the heart of the Luberon
Goult has around 1,300 residents and sits on a hill in the Calavon valley, facing the Luberon, within the Luberon Regional Nature Park. Narrow lanes, stone houses, the château and the Romanesque church form a calm yet lively village, away from the crowds.
At the top of the plateau stands the restored Jérusalem windmill, with panoramic views of the Luberon and the Monts de Vaucluse. Next to it, a trail showcases the dry-stone farming terraces of the past. The hamlet of Lumières is home to the sanctuary of Notre-Dame de Lumières, and the Véloroute du Calavon cycle path runs through the valley.

The Goult property market
Goult is prized for its calm, its authenticity and its central location among the Luberon's most famous villages, and attracts both French and international buyers. Supply is scarce and mainly includes:
- stone village houses in the old village
- Provençal mas and bastides with land in the valley
- villas with pool and Luberon views
- prestige properties and estates
- restored sheepfolds and character properties
- building plots, rare
The scarcity of supply and the location in the heart of the Luberon support long-term property values, with strong potential for luxury holiday rentals.
