Description
An 18th-century château of 1,100 m² of living space in Cardet, in the Gard, offered at 9,500,000 €, set on over 7 fully enclosed hectares, with more than 1,850 m² of outbuildings and a Palladian-style swimming pool: a property listed as a Historic Monument, at the gateway to the Cévennes, held by the same family for nearly 700 years.
- Historic Monument: château built on 14th-century medieval foundations, remodelled in the 17th and 18th centuries, and carefully restored to combine authenticity with contemporary comfort.
- Italian-style staircase hall adorned with stucco work and mythological bas-reliefs, considered one of the finest examples of its kind in Languedoc.
- Réveillon panoramic wallpaper preserved in the grand salon, a work by the Parisian manufactory that supplied the court of Versailles.
- More than 1,850 m² of outbuildings: former spinning mill, orangery, silkworm house, stables, tower library, 18th-century caretaker's house, and independent apartments.
- English-style park of over 7 hectares: tree-lined lawns, woodland, historic bamboo groves, ginkgos, Lebanon cedars, monumental noria with 17th-18th-century nymphaeum, and a large kitchen garden.
An interior of historic distinction
Spread across four levels, the château is organised around its spectacular staircase hall, opening onto a dining room with early 18th-century Italian frescoes, several reception rooms in enfilade, and the grand salon with its Réveillon wallpaper. The upper floors house several suites and apartments; the service levels preserve vaulted cellars, a historic kitchen, a Renaissance laundry room, and medieval remains, forming a seven-century stratigraphy legible in every material.
An estate open to the Cévennes
The vast cobbled courtyard serves the outbuildings, including the former spinning mill converted into a reception hall. The English-style park unfolds its historic bamboo groves and cedar of Lebanon copses all the way to the rare monumental noria and its nymphaeum, fed by several wells. The Palladian-style swimming pool with pool house fits seamlessly into this landscape composition without any break in period character.
By virtue of the scale of its outbuildings and the quality of its restoration, the estate lends itself to residential, hotel, cultural, or event-driven projects, while functioning today as an exceptional family residence.
