Description
A medieval château of 1,368 m², located in Saint-Maximin at the gateway to Uzès, offered at auction on 30 July 2026 through our partner Venteu, with a pre-sale estimate of between 2,250,000 € and 3,750,000 €. The property has undergone a restoration costing 8 million euros, carried out in strict accordance with its original architecture.
- Documented history: built in the 11th century, enriched during the Renaissance and again in the 17th century, the château notably welcomed Racine during the writing of some of his works.
- Spaces and volumes: over 1,200 m² arranged around a vaulted inner courtyard, with 9 bedrooms, 7 bathrooms and expansive reception areas.
- Historic materials and details: stone walls, vaulted rooms, restored mullioned windows, original spiral staircase, and a 12th-century dining room with a period fireplace.
- Integrated contemporary amenities: professional kitchen, cinema room, gym, bar, spa with hammam, games room, and a wine cellar hewn into the historic structure.
- Outdoor spaces: swimming pool, shaded terraces, garden with mature trees, secure courtyard, and a historic tower with a panoramic terrace and jacuzzi offering views over the village and surrounding countryside.
A property layered across ten centuries
The 11th-century medieval wing forms the historic heart of the property. Its restoration led to the rediscovery of two significant Renaissance windows, fitted with glazing selected to restore their original character. The original spiral staircase, to which a substantial portion of the restoration budget was dedicated, connects the levels of this wing with rare precision of execution. The 17th-century wing rises over three floors and brings together the private suites as well as a small kitchen opening onto the walled garden.
Understated comfort and living heritage
The bespoke fittings do not seek to erase the marks of time, but rather to complement them. The bar and games room in the medieval wing open directly onto the pool terrace, creating a seamless flow between ancient stone and contemporary living. The grand 12th-century dining room, with its period fireplace, can host large gatherings without losing any of its original character. From the historic tower, the panoramic terrace and jacuzzi offer sweeping views over the village rooftops and the surrounding Gard countryside.
The configuration of the property, with its multiple reception spaces, independent suites, professional kitchen and integrated leisure facilities, makes it equally suited to a large family residence, a high-end hospitality project, or an event rental venue.
