House with pool and terraceUzès (30)

This superb property sits between the natural bushland and the river, in the foothills of a medieval village, typical of the Uzège region, nestled in the fragrance of Mediterranean flora. It is built of local stone, an old silkworm nursery dating from the 18th century which, if it wished, could tell many tales! In a panorama opening up to the gates of Uzès, the first duchy of France, this residence offers a recent and elegant renovation, quality materials and beautiful refined forms. 310m² of completely private living space, with a view of the undulating hills, all blue in the wonderful transparency of the air… A first terrace overlooks a swimming pool (with UV filter) with submerged cover, nestled in a landscaped and perfectly maintained parkland. The French windows of the first floor terrace give access to the living room-library where the charm overtakes you immediately, like the whole house. The vast adjoining dining room, with its open kitchen, features a monumental fireplace with stones imported directly from the Châteaux of the Loire, and period cupboards and woodwork enhance the whole area. This is undoubtedly the centrepiece, the heart of the property. The second terrace leads, via a staircase, to the patio and the Roman bath, a real haven of peace, facing south. To the right of the living room-library, a hallway gives access to an office and a first spacious bedroom opening onto the garden. A charming bathroom completes this first floor. From the living room-library it is possible to access a newly renovated kitchen area and a large boudoir with fireplace. The staircase that leads to a hallway leads to three bedrooms, a balcony and a pleasant terrace, opening onto the patio or the park and the swimming pool. Two shower rooms and a toilet complete this section. On the opposite side, a staircase leads to two beautiful and spacious bedrooms, one of which has a mezzanine. Two bathrooms and fine wooden cupboards in each room complete the visit to the first floor. A 160m2 barn with imposing doors could be used as a workshop, storage area or as an alternative to a very substantial extension to the house (subject to the usual administrative authorisations). There are 190m² of successive vaulted cellars, part of which have already been refurbished to a high standard. This exceptional and atypical residence has been restored with high quality materials, shaped and worked with accuracy, decorated with a taste where chance has no place. And one can only be seduced by the charm that emanates from it, its location and its environment, its many living spaces, its invitation to relaxation and idleness. In such a place that soothes the spirit and delights the eye, there are beautiful possible projects to satisfy all the family members looking for a family home, but also for a tourist business, offering a guest house or rooms. What more can we say, except that the natural colours of this exceptional property pay homage to the nature and landscapes surrounding it.
