A 17th Century Provençal Home Near the Market Town of Uzès

This property is listed for €1,800,000 by Marylene Perret of Uzès Sotheby's International Realty.

Uzès, the first duchy of France, is a dreamy town in the South of France known for its elegant limestone facades and its market day, held every Wednesday and Saturday in the Place aux Herbes, a Plane tree-lined cobbled square with a beautiful central fountain and plenty of café seating. 

The restored 7-bedroom ivy-clad house is set on a 4-acre property filled with hundred year old trees and a river-fed pond; a large, sunny terrace creates an ambiance perfect for sipping rosé in the afternoon. 

Inside the home, the ground floor of the property has several elegant living rooms with high ceilings, as well as a guest suite and linen room. There are 5 ensuite bedrooms on the first floor, accessible by a grand staircase.

An orangerie on the property has been converted into a romantic one-bedroom guest suite for visitors, and there is also a caretakers cottage on the property.
