A building steeped in history, restored in its entirety
The property is organized into three distinct sections. The 11th-century medieval wing, the historic heart of the building, brings together the main reception rooms: the bar and games room open directly onto the pool terrace, while the large 12th-century dining room, remarkable for its period fireplace, is served by a professional kitchen. The 17th-century wing, spread over three levels, houses the private suites and a small kitchen overlooking the walled garden. The restoration preserved the stone walls, original staircases and vaulted ceilings while integrating bespoke contemporary fittings. This château once welcomed Racine during the writing of some of his works.
A refined lifestyle between vaulted courtyard, terraces and open views
Outside, the historic tower rises above the village rooftops and leads to a panoramic terrace. A jacuzzi there offers sweeping views over the village and the Gard countryside. The garden, enhanced by mature trees, the secured courtyard and the shaded terraces create a setting that is both intimate and open to the landscape. Uzès, with its markets, galleries and the Place aux Herbes, is just a few minutes away.
By virtue of its size, its facilities and its documented history, this property lends itself equally to an exceptional private family residence, a character hotel project or large-scale private entertaining.
