Charming Village Chateau Near the Cévennes National Park

This property is on the market for €1,480,000, listed with Janssens Immobilier.

Dating back to the 12th or 13th century, this former fortress has been transformed into a fine bourgeois residence just 15 minutes south of the historic Renaissance town of Barjac.

The 8 bedroom chateau offers 5381 square feet of living space divided into two main levels.

The careful preservation of historical elements ensures that this residence stands as a house of the highest quality, offering a unique living experience that seamlessly marries the old and the new.

The ground floor beckons with inviting living spaces and two bedrooms, each opening onto a terrace that overlooks the meticulously landscaped garden.

Ascending to the first floor reveals a harmonious blend of old-world charm and modern comfort. Six bedrooms and five bathrooms offer luxurious accommodation, while a sprawling reception room seamlessly connects to the terrace.

This level also accommodates practical spaces such as a garage, vaulted rooms, a workshop, and a billiard room, adding to the chateau's functionality.

The charm of this village chateau extends beyond its walls into the meticulously designed garden featuring a walled vegetable garden and an orchard, as well as a swimming pool.

The main chateau is accompanied by a 730 sq ft house with a charming courtyard, currently rented out. This enchanting space, typically Cévenole in style, offers an opportunity for additional income or a private retreat.

The village chateau also benefits from a unique microclimate from its location, set at the foot of the Cevennes National Park in the heart of the Gard department in southern France.
