Two Former Stone Silkworm Farms, Fully Renovated on 3.6 Hectares of Land.

Property Description

A majestic solid wrought-iron gate opens onto this characterful estate, complemented by wide restanques (terraced gardens) with dry-stone walls and a very beautiful cliff situated at the rear of the property, adding a touch of serenity to the whole.

Located in the Gard department, close to the town of Alès, this exceptional property enjoys a strategic location: all shops nearby, only 40 minutes from the Nîmes Tgv station, 90 minutes from Montpellier airport, and 40 minutes from Uzès. It offers a preserved natural setting while remaining close to the main communication routes.

The property:

This unique estate consists of two former stone silkworm farms (filatures) built on their beautiful stone arches, fully renovated in 2021. It offers a total living area of 650 m², plus an independent vaulted studio. The ensemble is enhanced by vast outdoor spaces, a summer kitchen, a relaxation area, a large natural swimming pond fed by a spring, and an ornamental pond.

Also included is a former Protestant tomb, adding historical and singular charm to the property.

The first mill extends over 350 m² and includes a huge living room with a monumental stone fireplace and impressive ceiling height, allowing for a beautiful mezzanine reading area, a fully equipped open-plan kitchen opening onto a large terrace, two additional living rooms, and 4 bedrooms (2 of which are on the ground floor).

Other spaces complete this first building: an independent vaulted studio adjacent to a laundry/workshop, a large vaulted room equipped with a semi-professional kitchen, a cave nestled under one of the property’s stone arches, and a large traditional bread oven.

The second mill offers 300 m² of living space comprising six carefully decorated suites, a reception office, a lounge area, and a 110 m² reception room with stone fireplace opening onto a large terrace with breathtaking views over the surrounding nature.

The magnificently wooded grounds feature two splendid cedar trees, numerous tall trees, and dozens of fruit trees.

For your relaxation: a swimming pool, a pétanque (boules) court with two storage areas, a greenhouse, and a chicken coop.

Our opinion:

This estate is a true gem for a large-scale family or residential project. Fully renovated with high-quality materials, equipped with Wi-Fi and fibre-optic internet extended across the entire grounds, this property combines modern comfort with authentic character. A rare opportunity, sold largely furnished, for lovers of heritage and exceptional places.
