An exceptional property on 10 hectares of land in a single lot... See and feel with a new soul, a childlike soul... these Florence cypress trees which, in azure transparency, cut out their twisted flames, tracing their tall torches like a row of vertical lines painted in gouache on the bare sky, and then there are these scents, the freshness of nature carried on a breeze, the ballet of the scents of our south, a pause in time, a respite all to yourself, a way of life, a culture! This residence smells of colour, a sober, cosy colour, without frills, just the elegance of the necessary, the beauty of raw materials... all around, silence reigns, you can hear only bees and birds, the turbulent tenants of an estate of more than ten hectares planted with fruit trees, mulberry trees, olive trees and preserved spaces. This tall, imposing building with stone arches was built on the ‘balcony' of Provence overlooking the Cévennes. Two spacious tiled swimming pools offer exceptional views over rolling wooded hills dotted with vineyards, and there are several large terraces, some of which are covered. There is 400m² of renovated living space with the potential for four separate dwellings, offering generous proportions and high ceilings in perfect harmony with the mineral atmosphere that permeates these walls, finished with magnificent terracotta flooring and wood panelling, a combination of warm materials that respects the centuries-old heritage of the property. Tucked away from view, this 15th-century property has approximately 420m² of outbuildings to be converted, offering scope for ambitious projects such as guest rooms or holiday cottages with a story to tell, as this farmhouse was once home to a community of artisans, master tapestry makers and and hand weavers working on mechanical looms in the purest tradition. There are so many discoveries to be made, so many excursions to enjoy, and such a wide range of outdoor pleasures for those who want to explore the Cèze valley, the Ardèche gorges, near the Uzège region, through the unusual villages that populate our regions, that it is impossible to list them all, but what is certain is that sometimes in the markets of Provence, vegetable sellers sing to anyone who will listen: ‘Here's some thyme from the garrigue, a little saffron and a kilo of figs for 100 francs. Would you like a nice tray of peaches or apricots?' A privileged environment for lovers of peace and quiet, about 40 minutes from the Duchy of Uzès... Your contact: Julien Botella (0678945908).
