Description
There are places that stand the test of time with grace. Built in the early 19th century by a General of the Empire, Château du Grès offers nearly 450 sqm within a rare walled estate where nature composes a majestic setting. Sheltered from view behind its elegant façades lies a 5-hectare landscaped park combining century-old trees, a carefully maintained bamboo grove and a former orchard descending to the peaceful banks of the Cèze River.
The atmosphere is deeply Provençal: golden light, silence punctuated by the song of cicadas, and a gentle way of life just a few steps from the village.
Key features:
• 19th-century château of approximately 450 sqm
• Walled park and 4.6-hectare estate with river access
• Outbuildings, orangery and covered pool
From the moment you enter, the open perspectives reveal a central 35 sqm room opening onto terraces and parkland. Around it, living rooms, a dining room – currently used as a billiard room – and kitchen flow seamlessly together. Original terracotta tiles and cement floor tiles highlight the authenticity of the property.
