Authentic renovated farmhouse and grounds for sale near pretty town of Goudargues 30630 GOUDARGUES

—Ref. UZ142VM

A former silk farm for sale near the pretty town of Goudargues. This old farmhouse, once used for raising silkworms, has regained its former glory thanks to a renovation organised by old building enthusiasts. Occupying an elevated position amid circa 1.4 hectares of grounds, the property now has circa 250 sqm of livable floorspace where modernity blends to perfection with the prestige of period features. Entry is to the south via a big courtyard with vintage gates and light-coloured stone walls. On the ground floor, a four-room (two-bedroom, each with shower) apartment has retained its original condition. It has plenty of space, while its dual-aspect windows looking out on the courtyard and the garden provide abundant daylight and value. This will make a delightful holiday home or quarters for the family. The main accommodation is reached by a beautiful covered stone staircase. A terrace with barbecue overlooks the entrance courtyard. The transformation here has been spectacular, the keywords being modernity, charm and space. The first port of call is a big kitchen/diner where daylight floods right through to every corner. Following on from this are two bedrooms and a bathroom. Finally, we come to the showpiece of the property: a cathedral lounge whose characteristic silk-farm windows have been preserved and where a majestic staircase, custom-built by a craftsman carpenter, echoes the monumental fireplace. Upstairs are a TV lounge, a bedroom and a main suite with walk-in wardrobe and bathroom. The garden comprises several distinct spaces: the pool area with its commanding view, a more wooded section and a place to get together under the tall pine trees. Underfloor heating and cooling by heat pump, a modern kitchen, a garage, a workshop, cellars: it’s all here. A unique property within walking or cycling distance of the Venice of the Gard (as the charming township of Goudargues in the Cèze valley is known), and 30 minutes from Uzès.
