Between Uzès and Avignon, where old meets contemporary
In the heart of a lively Provençal village, with local amenities within walking distance and a charming traditional market, I discovered this beautiful period home of approximately 355 sqm, hidden away behind its old stone walls.
There are several ways to enter the property: through an intimate courtyard, or from the garden, where the beautiful local-stone façade immediately catches the eye, enhanced by a pergola and shaded by lush vegetation — particularly welcome beneath the southern French sun.
The garden of approximately 1,000 sqm offers a delightful relaxation area centred around an 8.50 x 2.50 m swimming pool, edged with beautiful stone coping and equipped with a submerged electric cover. The eye is then naturally drawn to the summer kitchen, resolutely contemporary yet perfectly in harmony with its surroundings: a flat roof supported by imposing metal pillars, cement tiles and a remarkable bespoke folding glass wall. The garden also benefits from an automatic irrigation system.
Inside, the dialogue between old and contemporary truly comes into its own. An impressive stone fireplace, probably dating from the late 18th century, like the house itself, sits beautifully alongside polished concrete floors and the clean lines of the renovation. Reversible underfloor heating powered by a heat pump, providing both heating and cooling, ensures an exceptional level of comfort.
The house features two generous living rooms of approximately 50 sqm each. The bespoke kitchen reflects the craftsmanship of a passionate cabinetmaker whose work can be found throughout the property: large fitted bookcases in the living room, doors, bathrooms, storage and numerous made-to-measure features. A spacious study, also fully bespoke and opening through a large glass partition, completes the living areas.
Upstairs are six bedrooms, all restored with the same attention to detail, including two suites. The principal suite, measuring approximately 43 sqm, features solid oak flooring, a bespoke fitted dressing room and its own air conditioning. The property offers a total of four bathrooms, designed with great simplicity and particular attention to materials and detail.
What makes this house so appealing is not ostentation, but rather the apparent simplicity of an exceptionally accomplished renovation, where every detail seems to have been carefully considered to respect the history of the property while providing all the comforts of modern living.
Located only around 20 minutes from a TGV high-speed train station, the property would make a wonderful second home, easily accessible particularly from Lyon or Paris. Equally, with its high level of comfort and village amenities within walking distance, it would be perfectly suited as a main residence or an ideal home in which to enjoy retirement.
I would be delighted to show you this very special place and a house that was, for me, a genuine favourite from the moment I discovered it.
