luxury house with reception room for sale Saint-Jean-du-Gard, France

Prestigious country house sitting at the gateway to the Cévennes.

It presents a total of over 1000 sq.m of living area spread across a main house with six bedrooms, a converted farmhouse with four independent apartments, and a guest house with two bedrooms. The property would make a delightful family home, but could also be used to develop a hospitality business. It sits in peaceful surroundings just 45 minutes from Montpellier and the coast. A unique property with excellent potential.

Between Montpellier and Nîmes, a former agricultural estate of 7 hectares, with a 17th-century farmhouse, a master house, outbuildings, and a 19th-century wine cellar. Less than 1 km from Quissac, the 7-hectare estate extends to the east and west, on either side of four buildings grouped together in a private hamlet: a wine cellar, a large farm known as 'le grand mas', a dovecote, and the winemaker's house. Access to the property is via the road that serves the former agricultural courtyard. The master house, which is reached through the countryside, is located opposite this departmental road, facing the vineyards and woods. Strongly testifying, through the articulation of its elements, to a past viticultural activity, the property has evidently undergone several destinies. An artisanal silk production activity may have preceded viticulture, before land fragmentation put a stop to it. Other uses followed – thus the former wine cellar has today been transformed into workshops and reception rooms. On the foothills of the Cévennes, the construction of the buildings, often austere, obeys only the laws that labor and rural habitation could dictate over time. The construction periods vary from one element to another and essentially oscillate between the beginning and the end of the 19th century, with architectural interventions also aimed at unifying the whole in the 20th and 21st centuries. The master house, built at the end of the 19th century, has rather curiously adopted the model of the local silk farms, modest and largely open to the south. The wine cellar, built at the same time, was renovated after the roof of the central part collapsed. The 'grand mas', which was undoubtedly a rural dwelling with its few vaulted low rooms, provides a clear example of construction carried out on earlier remains, likely from the late 17th century or early 18th century. The dovecote, made of red bricks, built on the roof of outbuildings used for housing, dates from the early 20th century and is surrounded by a series of small adjoining houses currently serving as rental accommodations. The whole, whose appeal is enhanced by the preservation of the natural environment from various damages, offers an interesting testimony to the daily life of Cévennes viticulture. Its contemporary rehabilitation, unfinished in places, has granted it a certain homogeneity.This description has been automatically translated from French.
