A four-level château blending history and comfort
Spread across four levels, the château is arranged around its spectacular central staircase hall. The reception rooms include a dining room adorned with early 18th-century Italian frescoes and several interconnecting salons. The upper floors house suites and apartments, while the service levels preserve vaulted cellars, a historic kitchen, a Renaissance laundry room, and medieval remains, forming a continuous architectural record spanning several centuries.
An estate with multiple possibilities, at the gateway to the Cévennes
Arranged around a vast cobbled courtyard, the outbuildings offer significant development potential for residential, hotel, cultural, or event-driven projects. The English-style park combines tree-lined lawns, woodland, sculpted gardens, a large kitchen garden, and heritage water features. The Palladian-style swimming pool with pool house completes the ensemble within a landscaped setting of rare coherence for the south of France.
The configuration of the estate, its substantial outbuilding volumes, and its listing as a Historic Monument make this an exceptional opportunity equally suited to a private residence of distinction or to a cultural or high-end hospitality venture.
