House with terrace Uzès (30)

Situated in a sought-after, leafy area of Uzès, this wooden villa was built 20 years ago in a Zen-like Japanese style. The architect drew inspiration from Japanese aesthetics to design a very open house that blurs the boundaries between inside and outside. The large bay windows let in light and greenery wherever you are. The main house is arranged around an inner courtyard, with the following areas: an entrance hall, a kitchen/dining room that opens out onto the courtyard and the wooden terrace overlooking the garden, a utility room, an office (or bedroom), a living room with an uninterrupted view of the garden thanks to a wall of glass, a library area and a large bedroom with a single bathroom. One area has been designed as an independent flat, comprising a bedroom, a lounge opening onto a private terrace, a small kitchen and a shower room with toilet. This space can easily be linked to the main living area to create a large additional suite. Finally, there is a mazet of around 18m2 and a 30m2 garage currently used as a workshop. With a surface area of over 5000m2, the wooded grounds are like a natural parcel of garrigue. A unique and charming property, which requires some investment to create a wonderful home with a unique ambience in Uzès. There is currently no possiblity to enlarge the property or create a swimming pool.

House with pool and terrace Uzès (30)

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.

This exceptional property, unique in the Uzès area due to its character, its features and surface areas; its wooded parklands of almost two and a half hectares, which are perfectly maintained, with several outbuildings, a large swimming pool and a large ornamental pool. It is located in the most sought-after area of the ducal town: this incomparable property nevertheless provides easy access to the town centre on foot. The Botella agency has unearthed this unobtainable gem and is offering it for sale. From the moment you enter the estate, you see the care taken with the exterior décor - wide driveways, sumptuous, grassed areas, numerous trees of all sizes, a pond with a pediment, forming a vast setting surrounding the magnificent buildings – all making this a truly enchanting place. The feeling of space is as evident as is the care taken to keep the property discreet, since it is entirely surrounded either by century-old trees or by thick, secure hedges: the configuration of the site is truly extraordinary. The main residence, a vast old farmhouse that has been completely restored, is also of great beauty, thanks to its obvious authenticity. It has the advantage of having just one floor above the ground floor, making the many superb rooms in it easily accessible. Its magnificent volumes and the exceptional materials used leave no doubt as to the impeccable quality of the renovation work, carried out by the region's top companies, on its three hundred square metres of living space. Several houses complete the ensemble: a 'gallery house' (housing seven beautiful pieces of pottery at the moment): a great additional surface area for all kinds of performance or art gallery activities; caretaker's or guest house; “mazets” (traditional stone dwellings...

Castle Uzès (30)

A listed Renaissance chateau surrounding a wooded courtyard in the heart of a market town to the north of Uzès. Standing in the north-western part of the village, the chateau backs onto the town hall and the medieval wall that is still in place. Dating back to 1567, the edifice overlooks a courtyard and features two wings at right angles, facing south and east. The facades and the roof have been listed as French historic monuments since 1990. In the 20th century, the two Renaissance facades, then still in a state of disrepair, were extensively restored. They are adorned with decorative carvings whose scrolls contrast with the austerity of the remaining surrounding fortifications, including the base of a medieval keep dating back to the 12th century. Between the 13th and 14th centuries, the La Fare family built a fortified house at the foot of the keep, which was transformed into a residential chateau in the 15th century. Burnt down during the Wars of Religion, which were particularly devastating in these Huguenot lands, the house was rebuilt in its current form “jusque a la mesme aulteur que cy devant estoyt” (to the same height as before). At the time, the highly elaborate facades featured six cross windows framed by carvings in the form of Doric, Ionic and Corinthian pilasters. They have now been restored to their original noble appearance thanks to two restoration campaigns undertaken in the 20th century, which remain to be completed. Once again destroyed by fire in the 18th century, the south wing remained in ruins until the 1950s, when the building envelope was completely rebuilt. When the La Fare family decided to join the Court of Versailles a few years before the Revolution, the remaining part of the building passed into the hands of the neighbour, Scipio de Nicolaï, owner of the other chateau in the village. He precipitated the ruin of his new acquisition, not without a certain degree of gloating. It was the family of the current inhabitants who saved the La Fare chateau after acquiring it in 1919. From then on, the chateau was put to all sorts of uses, in turn housing the village brass band, catechism classes and later a wigmaker, who kept powder and curling irons on the premises. As a result of these varied uses, the interior has been fashioned in a way that is quite surprising compared to the appearance of its facades, creating a cheerful structural disorder.
