A breath of authenticity, at the gates of Uzès

A stone’s throw from Uzès, nestled in a secluded village where time seems to stand still, this stone residence of approximately 365 sqm spreads its old-world charm around a sunny courtyard, with a terrace and swimming pool, and a hanging garden.

Behind a small, discreet entrance courtyard, a door crossed like a threshold, the gaze immediately rises under the majestic vaults of a former stable reinvented as a large living room. There, the rough stone interacts with a fireplace almost sculpted in the rock, and the light, fluid and soft, slides to the depths of its 59 sqm. The atmosphere is striking: both majestic and deeply welcoming. A little to one side, a second intimate living room with a vaulted ceiling in parefeuille houses a fireplace, like a heart beating in the stone. It opens, on one side, onto a double kitchen bathed in light with triple exposure, wooden island, cooking range and on the other onto the terrace. The adjoining dining room, delimited by a stone arch, opens generously to the exterior and extends the experience of the house towards the sky. On the upper floor of the south wing, the master suite stretches over 46 sqm. A triple exposure bedroom opens its windows onto the murmur of the stones and the softness of a covered terrace. A hallway lined with storage leads to an office, then to a bathroom where a claw-foot bathtub, Italian shower and stone basin create a timeless, almost romantic setting. Higher up, two bedrooms share a floor. One of them, extended by a suspended terrace, offers a view to the west that the sun sets ablaze each evening. A bathroom with simple and elegant lines discreetly completes this level. In the west wing, accessible independently, the first two bedrooms on the first floor overlook the courtyard and the rooftops of the old village, each with its own bathroom. On the upper floor, two further suites separated by a covered terrace open onto infinity. There, the view embraces the countryside as far as Mont Ventoux, in an almost painterly depth of field. Each room is designed as a refuge: generous volumes, noble materials, breathing space. The hanging garden, a little secluded, like a secret corner where one would come to read, dream, or simply be silent. Below, the main courtyard, approximately 162 sqm, comes alive with small nooks, soft shade, and sun-drenched corners. A summer dining room, a solarium, and a swimming pool with simple lines create a rich, fluid, and inspiring outdoor life.

A workshop, wine cellar, pantry, bicycle storage, and a garage for two to three cars complete the ensemble. Electric underfloor heating on the south side, oil-fired radiators on the west side, double glazing, nothing has been left to chance. This house tells a story. That of old stones, of lived-in silence, and of an art of living that time cannot alter.

Located 4 kilometers from Uzès, 30 minutes from Avignon TGV, 28 kilometers from Nîmes and 19 kilometers from the highway.
