A former 19th-century food-producing estate turned into a vast family home, with enclosed, wooded grounds, truffle and olive groves and a swimming pool in Uzès. . A typical example of a farmhouse from the end of the 18th century, probably built under the Directoire or First Empire period, and whose owners very quickly decided that it absolutely had to be much more than just a farmhouse. Throughout the 19th century, alterations were carried out until the main buildings became a noble-looking architectural ensemble, just a few strides away from the National Stud. In the 20th century, transformations and extensions continued to make it more adapted to family life, resulting in a group of several outbuildings, all of which complemented each other intelligently. Today, the estate, which includes a truffle and olive grove, is home to a vast, aristocratic-style family home, 'La Roseraie', which has been converted into a comfortable holiday home with bedrooms and suites, and outbuildings that can all be lived in. A boxwood labyrinth, a common feature of 19th-century Provencal gardens, once greeted visitors in the south garden before being razed by a previous owner. It is now ready for a new lease of life. The farmhouse has also preserved a 'pouzarenque', a fully restored bucket wheel, a rare sight in Uzège, where these waterwheels have disappeared with the motorization of water pumps. The original entrance, which opened directly onto the grounds from the road leading to the national stud farm, was completely enclosed by dry stone walls, but has been replaced by a new gate and a slightly more northerly entrance to free up the grounds. The entrance is now a driveway lined with olive trees.
