luxury houses with pool for sale France

Situated in the centre of a typical village, in a peaceful setting just a few minutes from the ducal town, this sumptuous, tastefully restored château is one of the most remarkable in the Uzège region. Today's elegant, romantic château was built on the site of an older one dating from the Renaissance. It belonged to the de Vaulx family from 1709 to 1875 and was partly destroyed during the French Revolution. In 1875, the last representative of the family, Egide d'André, sold the Château to Léonce Pascal. The current building is his work; he restored and enlarged it, giving it its recognisably slender appearance. Léonce Pascal was born in a commune near Uzès and made his fortune in Paris, working with the Boucicaut brothers, creators of Le Bon Marché. When Léonce Pascal died in 1923, the Château passed through several hands, and since 2014 the house has undergone major renovation work, including upgrading its slate-tiled towers, which were added in the 19th century, and lime rendering on the stone façade... It has also been completely restored inside and redecorated. It currently comprises a beautiful entrance hall - opposite the original wrought-iron gateway to the property - with two fine stone coffers in the ceiling serving as the central point for the star-shaped layout. To the left is the large living room with its monumental fireplace, opposite is the entrance to the professional kitchen, and to the right is a first gallery leading to a remarkable stone staircase, more than rare with its two flights of steps, and then to a lounge, also with a fireplace, with a double aspect. Opposite this lounge, a second entrance leads to the cypress tree-lined driveway at the end of which is the second, wider gate for vehicular access. This level also has amenities, cupboards and access to a lift (to be renovated), as well as access to various storerooms: cold rooms, laundry room, storage cupboards, etc. The first floor, which opens from the stairway onto a beautiful balcony with views, comprises, on the first wing, a monumental suite with its own shower room and wc (a former reception room with its French ceilings), another bedroom suite that communicates but has its own independent access from the corridor. Also in this wing is another suite with a beautiful fireplace and floor in incredible patinated terracotta (this room is a former smoking room) and another more modest suite. The second wing, accessible by lift, comprises a suite, a hallway and another suite (known as Madame's), which has retained its charming prayer oratory. The second wing comprises 10 suites with views, storage space, a linen room and access to the attic, which could be converted if required. The superb grounds include a beautiful rose garden in front of the château, numerous terraces, a lake winding from the large entrance gate along an old dovecote, a two-storey guest house (ground floor lounge and upstairs suite with independent access), a swimming pool area and pool house, as well as an outbuilding in the form of a luxurious, air-conditioned tent. In addition, there is a tennis court, a large garage, another house in need of restoration (caretaker's cottage or other), a preserved curiosity (one of the most charming old pavilions), a cottage on the garden level, housing a most charming suite and its panoramic terrace on the upper floor. This iconic location in the Uzès region is ‘out of time’ yet not isolated, in the centre of the village and close to all amenities. A jewel with an Italian flair, tastefully restored, it would be ideal for a large family, or for use as a guest house, artist's residence/foundation or hotel... Exclusive S T Y L E S file.
