castles with panoramic view for sale Languedoc Roussillon, France

Situated in the heart of a charming village between Uzès and Nîmes, with easy access to the region's main attractions, stands this majestic château, a witness to history since its creation in the 13th century. The ancient moat, battlements and watchtowers evoke its past as a defensive edifice, while in the 17th century it was enlarged to welcome visits from illustrious personalities such as Louis XIII and Richelieu, in preparation for the Peace of Alais. The latest major alterations date from the 20th century, preserving this regional and French landmark through the ages, listed as a historic monument. The château, with a living area of around 1,000 m2 (10,765 sq ft), faces south and extends over 7,800 m2 (83,960 sq ft) of parkland. Several distinct areas blend harmoniously together: on the château side, alleys lined with plane trees; on the other, unspoilt, organic garrigue-like countryside with holm oaks, separated by an impeccably tended garden complete with a swimming pool and a maze. The château extends over three levels, organized around a monumental staircase illuminated by magnificent mullioned windows. A rounded tower adds character to the architecture on the south-east side. On the first floor, the entrance hall offers a glimpse of the majestic central staircase. Every room on this level has access to the garden, offering a wealth of possibilities. A first vaulted kitchen opens onto an outdoor space ideal for al fresco dining. A large bedroom adorned with vaulted ceilings, moldings and cement tiles seduces with its charm. A second bedroom is nestled in the tower. A room currently used as an artist's studio could be converted into a bedroom. A final bedroom, with bathroom, could be used as an independent apartment. The wine cellar is also on this level. The ascent to the second floor invites contemplation, with its light-filled windows offering a breathtaking view of the park. A gallery, perfectly suited to displaying works of art, leads to one of the key rooms of the house: the dining room, with its 3.30 m (10.8 ft) high vaulted ceiling, designed to support the grain which, in the old days, was stored on the upper floor. A large, bright kitchen adjoins this room. Four bedrooms are also located on this level, as well as a game/cinema room.Opposite the dining room is a spacious living room of over 50 m2 (540 sq ft), with a high coffered wooden ceiling and a fireplace adorned with a carved wooden overmantel.

All the electrical, plumbing and heating systems have been redone. All in all, this property offers a rare opportunity to inscribe one's name in the history of the region and the country, while benefiting from an exceptional setting.

Listed as a Historic Monument, you are entering a fascinating part of French history in the Cathar Country: The oldest mention of the first castle dates back to 1155. The current castle, probably built at the end of the 16th or the beginning of the 17th century, replaced an older building. The castle consists of a main rectangular building with one floor and an attic, and two low wings, partially destroyed, to the north, enclosing the courtyard to the east and west. The original entrance was to the east; this semicircular archway is now concealed. The castle is built on a platform overlooking the village. On the attic floor, there is a fireplace bearing the inscription "Noble Anne de Mauleon" and the date 1630. The shield in the center of the mantelpiece depicts a lion in high relief, standing against a three-towered castle. This castle primarily reflects 17th-century architecture. It underwent several renovations, particularly at the end of the 17th century and from 1763 onwards. Recently, under the supervision of the Architects of France and thanks to a strong conservation effort by the current owners, work has been carried out on the structure of the building. The West wing and the great hall have been fully renovated (notably with central heating). The attic has also been redesigned to offer a superb living space with a view of the surrounding lands. Among the completed work, you can appreciate the replicas of the original doors from the early 16th century, made from oak, chestnut, and cedar wood. Inside the castle, the seven original fireplaces, large windows with stained glass, tiled floors, and wooden ceilings have been preserved. A third of the castle has been renovated: On the ground floor: Kitchens with a large fireplace and toilets. The great meeting and reception hall, now a living room. Toilets On the 1st floor: A living room with a fireplace Bedroom An office with a beautiful mezzanine Toilets On the 2nd floor: Bedroom Bathroom with bathtub. Each room has 4-meter-high ceilings.
