Castles for sale Robiac-Rochessadoule, France

A castle and its feudal keep set on the eastern flank of its 30-hectare estate in the Vallée Française in the Cévennes mountains. Formerly the stronghold of the Arnal family, who at the end of the 17th century owned most of the valley and the hamlet of Beaumelle, hence the name Arnal de la Beaumelle, the castle was burnt down in 1702 during the War of the Camisards. When it was rebuilt between 1730 and 1740, it lost most of its fortified appearance. The keep still dominates the surrounding buildings constructed along a lane: a castle resembling a feudal residence flanked by two towers, as well as a number of outbuildings destined for farming, including cowsheds and a shed for drying chestnuts. This mainly west-facing hilltop hamlet commands the southern valley. Fed by several springs, the estate has developed over the last two centuries thanks to livestock activities and terraced crop cultivation on the many well-oriented 'restanques” (terraces). The river at the bottom of the valley used to power several mills.

This superb 16th century chateau has been extremely well restored, preserving original architectural and decorative features, and comprises a central building flanked by three round towers, one of which contains a magnificent spiral staircase. Ideally situated 2 minutes by foot from a small village with basic commodities, the property benefits from an exceptional, protected environment. It occupies a commanding position and is surrounded by almost 2.5 ha of parkland and meadows bordered by a river. There is a town with all shops and services just 20 min away; Nîmes (airport, TGV station and motorway) is 75 min.
