Languedoc-Roussillon, Gard (30)

€1,200,000 ID: 170981

Just 9kms from the delightful market town of St Jean du Gard, in the beautiful Gardon valley, lies this stunning chateau, which dates back to the late 12th century. The chateau is set in around 200 acres of the Cevennes National Park; an area of unspoilt natural beauty and outstanding wildlife. The main chateau has been divided into four self-contained apartments, distributed around a central courtyard, each with its own outside area, and a guardian's cottage that has its own front door to the outside and also has access to the central courtyard.

The principal apartment has a spacious reception and dining area that would be ideal for large receptions. However, the apartments could easily be recombined into one, large, family home. There are also two further self-contained holiday cottages adjacent to the chateau, along with various other outbuildings.
 A section of the Gardon river actually flows through the extensive grounds of the property, providing idyllic spots for swimming or fishing.

The property consists of the main chateau and several outbuildings, which together offer nearly 600m2 of living space and over 200m2 of cellars, barns and stores. The main chateau offers the following:

The main apartment is a beautifully appointed 3-bedroom residence comprising:

The guardian’s cottage.

  • A spacious 22m2 fitted kitchen

  • A family bathroom with WC.

  • A family bathroom with WC.

    The 1st floor:

    Another 2-bedroom apartment with spectacular views, comprising:

  • A 15,5m2 sitting room.
  • A 9m2 kitchen.
  • A spacious 13m2 double bedroom.
  • A bathroom with WC.

    A short distance from the main Chateau are two independent 2-bedroom guest cottages or gîtes.

    There are the natural springs that provide the water for the property.

    The Grounds
    The immediate surrounding of the chateau consists of just under a hectare of terraced lawns, fruit orchards and two lilyponds; the south-facing terrace is home to the large, heated swimming pool. Just below this lies a crazy golf course which most likely dates back to the 1930s.
