14th Century French Château and Olive Growing Estate Near Uzès, France

This property is on the market with Emile Garcin. Price is disclosed upon application with the listing agency.

The spectacular French chateau for sale is set in the heart of a nearly-300 acre estate near the Gorges de l'Ardèche in the Gard Provencal, known as the gateway to Provence.

The olive-growing estate is located near the charming medieval village of Uzès, a hidden gem in southern France with cobbled lanes and a charming main square, Place aux Herbes, host to fairs and weekly markets.

The romantic French chateau dates back to 1360 and was built up over the centuries into an elegant chateau flanked by two towers and featuring a double stairway entry.

Beautifully restored, the chateau has a vast entrance hall, with beautiful reception rooms, including a billiards room, and a professional kitchen.

There are 9 ensuite bedrooms and a lovely heated conservatory, as well as further space to renovate in the attic and cellars.

Approached through a wrought-iron gate, the elegant chateau is set within a courtyard and surrounded by formal gardens, designed along the lines of the Versailles and featuring an integrated watering and lighting system.

Paths meander through the manicured grounds, complete with ponds, fountains, and a 52 foot swimming pool.

Surrounded by vast meadows, the French country estate boasts panoramic views over the foothills of the Cévennes and Ardèche, and comes with a designated runway for small aircraft.

The country estate comes with several outbuildings, including additional farm buildings to restore, set away from the main chateau.
