Description
An 18th-century château listed as a Historic Monument, offering approximately 1,100 m² of living space spread across four levels, located in the Gard at the gateway to the Cévennes, offered at 9,500,000 euros, set within a fully enclosed estate of more than 7 hectares.
- Exceptional history and preservation: built on 14th-century medieval foundations, remodelled in the 17th and 18th centuries, and held by the same family for nearly 700 years.
- Italian-style staircase hall: stucco decorations and mythological bas-reliefs, considered one of the finest examples of its kind in Languedoc.
- Réveillon panoramic wallpaper: a rare work from the Parisian manufactory that supplied the court of Versailles, preserved in the grand salon.
- More than 1,850 m² of outbuildings: former spinning mill, orangery, silkworm house, tower library, fitted stables, and an 18th-century caretaker's cottage.
- Monumental noria and nymphaeum from the 17th and 18th centuries: fed by several wells, Palladian-style swimming pool with pool house.
An interior shaped by four centuries of history
The reception rooms are arranged around the spectacular Italian-style staircase hall. The dining room retains early-18th-century Italian frescoes, while a succession of salons leads to the grand salon and its panoramic Réveillon wallpaper. The service floors preserve vaulted cellars, a historic kitchen, a Renaissance laundry room, and medieval remains, each era left intact as a living testament to the château's past. Carefully restored over recent decades, the château strikes a balance between architectural authenticity and contemporary comfort.
A landscaped estate with remarkable specimen trees
The English-style park of more than 7 hectares brings together sweeping tree-lined lawns, woodland, sculpted gardens, historic bamboo groves, stands of ginkgos and cedars of Lebanon, a large kitchen garden, and utility areas. Around a vast cobbled courtyard, the outbuildings form a self-contained second domain with significant development potential for residential, hotel, cultural, or events projects.
By virtue of its extensive built surface area, the quality of its listed decorative features, and the variety of its outbuildings, this estate lends itself equally to a heritage family residence or a large-scale hospitality or cultural venture.
