In a resolutely green village... In the Cèze valley, in an emerald green setting between Goudargues and Montclus, this village of character with its harmonious, flourishing land and cultural heritage is a paradise for nature lovers. There's something about the balance between tradition and renewal that has always fascinated people. Don't hesitate to explore the riches of this carefully preserved heritage. It offers a wide range of natural pleasures – whether on foot, by mountain bike or on horseback, discovering the natural bushland populated by ancient menhirs, dolmens and benches, or swimming or canoeing in the river with its lush banks. The village, with arches to shelter under in the July heat, enchantingly whispers the history of the centuries-old stonework that winds its way along the narrow streets and alleys. Calm and serenity, close to the shops and amenities of the “Venice” of the Gard department, Goudargues. The property offers pleasant views over a preserved landscape (classified Natura 2000) and comfortable adjoining grounds of approx. 2000 m², beautifully planted with olive and fruit trees and landscaped with Mediterranean species, with a water bore approx. 80m deep and a 9m deep stone well. Sheltered from prying eyes, a beautiful, vast courtyard features a gargantuan shaded table under the protection of an exceptional, majestic two-hundred-year-old ash tree... In the lower part of the grounds, in an intimate setting, a comfortable 10 x 5m tiled swimming pool, built in 1995, is secured by a sliding solar security cover and heated by a heat pump. Nearby, but separated by a small lane, is a beautiful plot of land of approx. 4500 m² with lush vegetation in a non-constructible zone, embellished with approx. 40 olive trees in production with a beautiful natural wealth – underground water. This pleasure plot could be used to develop an event or reception area for a wedding etc. The manor house built in the spirit of a ‘Maison de Maître’, has been beautifully renovated by its owners, combining comfort and authenticity, and offering around 360m² of living space... On the ground floor, a luminous 17.20m² wrought-iron and glass room with UV protection and a wood-burning stove. This is followed by a fully fitted and furnished kitchen opening onto a 35m² dining room, a 18.50m² lounge with superb brick and stone vaulted ceilings.
