Description
This château, located in the Gard region at the gateway to the Cévennes, is one of the most remarkable historic properties in southern France. Listed as a Historic Monument, this exceptional estate extends over more than 7 hectares of entirely enclosed grounds and combines an 18th-century château, substantial outbuildings, a remarkable landscaped park, and heritage features of rare quality.
Built on medieval foundations dating from the 14th century and extensively remodeled during the 17th and 18th centuries, the château remained in the hands of the same family for nearly 700 years, ensuring the exceptional preservation of its architecture and decorative features. Carefully restored over recent decades, it now offers a rare balance between historical authenticity and contemporary comfort.
The château offers approximately 1,100 m² of living space spread over four levels. Its layout is centered around a spectacular Italian-style staircase adorned with stucco decorations and mythological bas-reliefs, considered one of the finest examples of its kind in Languedoc. The reception rooms include a dining room featuring early 18th-century Italian frescoes, several interconnected drawing rooms, and a grand salon preserving an exceptional Réveillon panoramic wallpaper, a rare work from the Parisian manufactory that supplied the Court of Versailles. The upper floors accommodate several suites and apartments, while the service levels preserve vaulted cellars, a historic kitchen, a Renaissance laundry room, and medieval remains.
Surrounding a vast paved courtyard are more than 1,850 m² of outbuildings: a former spinning mill converted into a reception hall, an orangery and silkworm house, independent apartments, a tower library, converted former stables, an 18th-century caretaker’s house, and several buildings offering significant development potential for residential, hospitality, cultural, or event-related projects.
The English-style park, extending over more than 7 hectares, forms a remarkable landscape ensemble combining vast tree-lined lawns, woodland, sculpted gardens, historic bamboo groves, clusters of ginkgo trees and Lebanon cedars, a large vegetable garden, and technical areas. It also features a rare monumental noria and its 17th- and 18th-century nymphaeum, supplied by several wells, as well as an elegant Palladian-style swimming pool with pool house. Through its history, state of preservation, protected decorative features, exceptional parkland, and the quality of its restorations, this château represents a unique opportunity on the French historic property market. A rare estate, ideal as a prestigious private residence, reception venue, luxury guest house, or large-scale cultural project.
