Description
On a warm Tuesday morning in Uzès, the weekly market on the Place aux Herbes fills up fast. Goat cheese from the Cévennes, lavender honey, tapenade pressed from olives grown twenty minutes away. You walk back along the Rue de la République with a basket of provisions, and fifteen minutes later you're floating in your own pool, the Provençal hills rolling out in every direction beyond the garden walls. That's the rhythm this property makes possible.
The villa sits on the road between Uzès and the Pont du Gard, one of the most quietly coveted corridors in the entire Gard département. Not tucked into a village where parking is a daily negotiation, not perched on a hillside requiring a four-wheel drive. This is a single-storey home on roughly 780 square metres of flat, landscaped ground — practical, private, and genuinely easy to arrive at and leave. The automatic gate with video intercom closes behind you and the outside world recedes.
What strikes you first inside is how much light the architects coaxed into 115 square metres of living space. The 42-square-metre sitting and dining room doesn't feel like a room so much as an extension of the garden — the wide glass doors fold back completely onto a 40-square-metre south-facing terrace, and on still evenings the boundary between inside and outside essentially disappears. The kitchen is full-width and properly equipped, with the kind of high-end finishes that signal someone thought hard about how cooking actually works: an integrated pantry tucked discreetly behind cabinetry, stone countertops, and enough prep space to feed eight people without chaos.
The sleeping layout is quietly intelligent. Two guest bedrooms share a well-finished shower room with WC — good for children, good for friends travelling together. The master suite occupies its own wing: a dressing room that doubles as a home office, a generous bedroom, a private shower room, and direct access to the terrace so the first thing you see each morning is the garden and the hills beyond. No corridor shuffle, no shared bathroom queues. It works.
The 2024 renovation went well beyond cosmetic. Ducted heat pump for year-round climate control, self-consumption solar panels that take a meaningful bite out of the electricity bill, and a thermodynamic water heater. These aren't luxury add-ons — they're the kind of infrastructure that makes a second home genuinely low-maintenance when you're not there, and noticeably comfortable when you are. The Bio Pool Tech swimming pool is fully equipped and easy to manage, which matters if you're arriving from London or Amsterdam for a two-week break and don't want to spend the first day wrestling with pool chemistry.
Outside, a timber chalet with its own electricity supply sits at the far end of the garden — useful as a games room, a teenage retreat, or extra sleeping space during high summer. A wrought-iron pergola provides dense shade for afternoon meals when the Languedoc sun does what the Languedoc sun does between June and September.
Uzès itself deserves more than a passing mention. This is the first duchy of France, and the medieval centre — the Duché d'Uzès, the circular Place aux Herbes, the Tour Fenestrelle — is unusually well-preserved without being a museum piece. Real people live here, eat here, argue about football here. The Saturday and Wednesday markets are among the best in the Gard: you'll find Pélardon cheese, Nîmes brandade, fresh figs in September, and truffle vendors who don't price-gouge because they know you'll be back. The Feria de Pentecôte in nearby Nîmes, the Festival de Nîmes drawing major international acts to a Roman amphitheatre, the Uzès Dance Festival in June — the cultural calendar is fuller than you might expect for a town of 8,000 people.
The Pont du Gard, UNESCO-listed and genuinely impressive at any time of day, is a ten-minute drive. Kayaking the Gardon river beneath it is one of those experiences that never stops being good, whether it's your first time or your fifteenth. The Gorges du Gardon offer serious walking — the trail from Collias to the pont and back takes around four hours and involves limestone cliffs, wild herbs underfoot, and water that stays cold even in August. Cyclists have the entire Uzège to explore, a plateau of vineyards, garrigue, and stone villages that rewards a slow approach.
For international buyers, the practicalities stack up well. Nîmes-Alès-Camargue-Cévennes airport handles flights from several European cities, and the TGV from Nîmes reaches Paris in under three hours. Avignon, with its own TGV station, is 45 minutes by road. The Gard property market has been steadily attracting buyers from northern Europe and the UK who want more space and sunshine than the Côte d'Azur can realistically offer at this price point — and who are increasingly aware that Uzès in particular holds its value well. A renovated, turnkey villa at 429,000 euros in this location represents genuine value in 2024 market terms. Rental demand through the summer is strong, and platforms specialising in the Languedoc market regularly achieve full July and August bookings for properties in this condition and location.
Legally, EU and non-EU buyers can purchase French property without restriction. Notaire fees run at approximately 7-8% on older properties, though this recent renovation means you should confirm the applicable rate with your appointed notaire. Ownership through an SCI (société civile immobilière) is worth discussing with a French tax adviser if you're planning a mixed use-rental arrangement, as it can simplify inheritance and management.
This property is move-in ready. No building work, no waiting for a contractor, no surprises.
