Barjac, Midi-Pyrénées 30430

Between the Cvennes Mountains and the Mediterranean sea, a beautiful and exclusive place in the heart of the Cze Valley, close to the Uzes, the first Duchy of France... the sun lazes gently between the stones of the benches and seeps under the slate roofs of the stone huts (capitelles) oozing calm and serenity... The shops? All within easy reach of this building, which is constructed from local stone, just a stone's throw from the Claysse valley at the southern tip of the southern Ardche, dominated by the Chteau de Castelas, a 12th century fortress and headquarters of the Marquis de Saillans. Ah, if only stones could tell tales... And then there's the village, with its heritage architecture, whose church, built around a large porch in the Provenal Romanesque style, was one of the economic lungs of the region thanks to silkworm rearing and spinning mills. In the heart of the native bushland, with its holm oaks, junipers, thyme and lavender, bordered by vineyards and olive groves, the property unfurls its 4 hectares of land, around 5, 000 m of which surrounds the traditional farmhouse, with more rocky areas (restanques) dominated by century-old olive trees. The swimming pool area comprises a fresh, shaded terrace and an infinity pool, which profits from the song of the cicadas. The farmhouse features a superb kitchen, a dining room and a lounge totalling approx. 77 m, tiled with authentic parefeuille (traditional clay tiles). A staircase combining wood and wrought iron leads upstairs to 3 en-suite bedrooms, one of which is under the roof, and a study of just over 12 m. Opening onto the outside of the property with completely independent access and a private terrace, there are 2 bedrooms of around 30 m with their own shower rooms, ideal for bed and breakfast or for entertaining a large family group. An exceptional property in a unique setting as sung by Ferrat, it's true that the mountains are beautiful... A property selected exclusively by Botella and Sons Real Estate (since 1989). Agency fees to be paid by the vendor. Information on the risks to which this property is exposed is available on the Gorisques website. We look forward to discussing your project. Ref 2535
