Medieval Chateau in Heart of Cevennes, Saint Jean

Property Description

Located just 9kms from the delightful market town of St Jean du Gard, in the beautiful Gardon valley, lies this stunning chateau, which dates back to the late 12th century. The chateau is set in around 200 acres of the Cevennes National Park; an area of unspoilt natural beauty and outstanding wildlife. The main chateau has been divided into four self-contained apartments, distributed around a central courtyard, each with its own outside area, and a guardian's cottage that has its own front door to the outside and also has access to the central courtyard. The principal apartment has a spacious reception and dining area that would be ideal for large receptions. The apartments could easily be recombined into one, large, family home. There are also two further self-contained holiday cottages adjacent to the chateau, along with various other outbuildings. The property enjoys a truly magical setting with its south-facing pool overlooking a secluded valley. The property includes a sheepfold, natural springs that provide the water for the property, just under a hectare of terraced lawns, fruit orchards, two lilyponds, a 1930s era golf course, and approximately 3 hectares of meadow and pasture.The majority of the remaining land is mostly mature mixed forest on hillsides.

* Location
Saint-Jean-du-Gard is an authentic Cevenol village in a wonderfully preserved natural setting; a paradise for walkers, cyclists and all lovers of the outdoors. This was the last stop on Robert Louis Stevenson's famous 'Travels with a Donkey in the Cevennes', which ended in St-Jean in 1878. The village today offers a pleasant mix of shops, cafes, restaurants and also has a post office, banks, a doctor's surgery and a primary school. Just 9km from the village, this unique property enjoys a dominant position overlooking an unspoilt valley above the Gardon river.
