private mansions with panoramic view for sale Languedoc Roussillon, France

Nestling in the heart of a charming hamlet very close to Uzès, and backing onto a wooded hill, this exceptional property preserves its privacy and recreates the atmosphere of an old bastide. It has benefited from a masterly restoration by master craftsmen who have enhanced the style of the residence using the finest authentic materials. The building opens onto a vast entrance hall (30 m2) that leads to a reception room that opens onto a magnificent view of the garden and its two-hundred-year-old olive trees. The living room features a large stone fireplace that radiates warmth in stark contrast to the kitchen and dining room, which are dominated by a top-of-the-range contemporary feel. The living area, like the other rooms, is also illuminated by large bay windows built by an ironmonger. The light flooding into the room highlights the contemporary walnut furniture, topped with a Corian worktop. An adjoining TV lounge provides a transition to the first sleeping area, on one level, with a bedroom and bathroom with independent access from the garden. On the ground floor, the main body of the building comprises another sleeping area, with two bedrooms with a more cosy feel, served by a corridor accessible from the entrance hall, which also leads to a bathroom and separate dressing room. The entrance hall also provides access to the first floor, via a magnificent stone staircase. On the first level, it leads to a vast room with a billiard table, giving access to two comfortable suites, each with its own shower room, offering a commanding view over the surrounding countryside. Upstairs, the west wing features a majestic suite with a 37 m2 bedroom and large dressing room, an elegant bathroom (17 m2) with bathtub and huge walk-in shower, and a study opening onto the pool area. The 12 x 5 metre pool dominates the garden above the west wing, bordered by an avenue of lavender, the fragrance of which invites you to relax. The landscaped garden and terrace with pergola reflect the elegance of this property, set in 8,600 m² of fully enclosed parklands dotted with Mediterranean plants. Two detached garages, electric gates, air conditioning, double glazing, automatic watering system, petanque area. This idyllic, natural setting is just ten minutes from Uzès.
