For sale: property comprising 2 charming houses in olive grove 5 km from Uzès

Property for sale near Uzès. Located in privileged, unspoilt surroundings 5 minutes from Uzès, this complex is a real opportunity to acquire an outstanding and unusual property. Standing in approx. 2 hectares of olive grove and truffle bed, the 2 houses present a haven of peace and a rustic environment in southern French style. Entry is via a big gate in the drystone walls. The first villa, an extension of an old ‘mazet’ or farm cottage, faces squarely south toward the swimming pool and shaded terraces.
The house has the look of a Camargue villa and the hallmarks of the houses of Provence. A big living room and its open kitchen make up the nerve centre of the property, with everything you could want for entertaining and indoor/outdoor living whatever the season. This space leads on to a beautiful dual-aspect lounge with fireplace. A bedroom rounds off the ground floor. Upstairs are two bedrooms (one with shower room), a bathroom and a due-south-facing rooftop terrace. This floor could do with some redesign to coordinate the rooms. Some work to enhance the comfort level will make this into an exceptional place to live, whether for holidays or all year round.
The second house is a single-storey building. Modern in design, with all the features of a holiday home, it looks straight out on a terrace where the shade of two olive trees is an invitation to drift away. There is a summer kitchen at the end of this terrace, which is the place for big meals in good company. A kitchen lounge looks out southward, while three beautiful bedrooms (each with shower room) and a study can accommodate family or friends or generate holiday rental income. Finally, some former stables can be used for storage or as a garage. Nature is all-pervasive here, as are tranquillity and beauty. And all this just outside a village with all shops, 5 minutes from Uzès. A unique property selected by our Uzès estate agency.
