5 bed Character Property, France – ID: 6308530
Key Information
Property Gallery and Description
This is a highly unusual property, especially since it is within easy walking distance of the centre of an ever-popular town in the Uzes area, Languedoc Roussillon, South France. It’s a modern construction, yet using quality and noble materials throughout, many especially imported or collected over many years to be utilised again here. It’s designed for a modern family and every luxury is installed to ensure this. The architect was governed by the restraints of ‘Batiments de France’, who determined how the house should be placed. The choice of planting hundreds of AOC olives and truffle oaks gives immediate revenue from the property itself, and since the house stands at the centre of these plantations, it’s entirely private and almost self-contained. All the amenities of a bustling market town are on the doorstep and in easy walking distance.
Description of the Property
The house is on two floors and offers some 360m² of living space.
Ground floor: The house is entered from the wide driveway and winter garden 18m², through an elegant front door into the entrance hall 18m² with guest toilet, white furniture room/laundry 15m², fully equipped kitchen 30m², sitting/dining room 92m² with possibility to install a fireplace, master bedroom with ensuite bathroom 31m² and private terrace. There are built-in cupboards in all bedrooms and in strategic places in all corridors. The ground floor enjoys under-floor ‘basse-temperature’ heating. Access to the upper floor is via an impressive staircase with wrought iron balustrades to the gallery above.
First floor: The gallery covers some 14m² and comprises built-in furniture and storage of some 24m², Access to the roof space is also from here, playroom 27m² with en-suite. 4 further bedrooms, all with en-suite facilities each about 24m² in size. All rooms on this floor are light and bright and 4 of them face south, the 5th faces towards the north. All rooms on this floor are air- conditioned (cool to warm) with individual room controls. All rooms are fully connected for phone and internet, and there is centralised vacuuming and air-freshening.
Pool: 14x7m and enclosed on two sides by large spaces for outdoor eating, BBQ and storage of some 68m² + the 10m² technical centre for all services to the house and pool.
Garages and storage for farm equipment are located in the entrance area on the north side of the house. They cover some 90m² and are so designed to be easily converted to separate studio or guest apartment, with provision for additional garage space as required. All services needed for this development are already in place and connected.
Grounds
These extend to some 4.3 hectares and are roughly divided into the same area for 225 AOC olives de Nimes (Appellation d’Origine Controlee) and 350 truffle oaks. The grounds are completely surrounded by dry stone walls. None of the surrounding land is constructible.
General condition
The house and grounds are in excellent overall condition and well tended. It is hard to imagine any further work, except perhaps for the development of the outbuildings already mentioned.
Comment
This is a very fine contemporary, luxury home. It was constructed using only the finest materials and is fitted with every convenience. The grounds may sound like hard work, but the trees do look after themselves, though the olives need to be trimmed to keep their shape and maximise their crop. You could not possibly be closer to the centre such a historic town with such a large property. It is thoroughly recommended to you.
