Ah, where do we begin with this enchanting property in Alès, set right in the heart of the Languedoc-Roussillon region in Gard, France? In my fast-paced world as a busy real estate agent, it's a pleasure to find a gem that stands out effortlessly, offering a delightful combination of charm, space, and locale. With 300 square meters, this villa isn't just good—it's grand without overreaching, offering an opportunity for refined French living with cozy touches and warmth.
Let's start our journey around the property. Imagine yourself strolling through a sprawling wooded garden sprawled across 4728 square meters. The blend of shade and sunshine delivers a natural ambiance that French gardens are celebrated for. Outside, life unfolds with leisurely joys awaiting you and everyone in the family. A sparkling swimming pool invites you for a swim on sunny days. Nearby, a summer kitchen with a barbecue beckons for alfresco dining with loved ones. And for a touch of local flair, enjoy a game of pétanque or get competitive on the mini golf course with young and young at heart. There's even a charming chalet perfect for accommodating guests or creating personal space amidst the serenity.
Now, let's step inside! The villa spans three meticulous levels, each with its personality and promise. Begin at the garden level, presenting an opportunity for flexible living or income-generating possibilities with its two gites. Each gite has its entrance, one configuring a cozy T2 while the other is a spacious T4. These are fully furnished and equipped and could become your gateway into the Airbnb world or simply a haven for guests.
Ascend to the first floor, and you are greeted by a luminous living room that spills seamlessly onto a large terrace. With unparallel views of the garden and countryside, you'll find inspiration in every direction. The fitted kitchen is a culinary dream—imagine preparing meals with fresh local produce while gazing at the hills. Adjoining is a practical storeroom, three comfortable bedrooms for restful nights, a well-appointed bathroom, and a separate toilet for convenience.
The adventure continues to the attic level, cleverly converted into an intimate retreat with two bedrooms. A compact shower room and another separate toilet round off this floor, offering privacy and practicality for larger families or guests.
For the eco-conscious buyer—and who isn't in today's landscape (pun intended)—the villa is equipped with sustainable features. Photovoltaic panels, a thermodynamic water heater, and reversible air conditioning offer a blend of luxury and efficiency. And for convenience, the closed garage coupled with a five-car carport ensures ample parking. With automatic watering, the garden will forever stay vibrant without too much elbow grease required on your part.
Your new home situates you a convenient 15 minutes from the tranquil charm of Anduze and the leafy wonders of the Cevennes National Park—perfect for hiking enthusiasts and nature lovers. A 40-minute drive brings you to the historically saturated streets of Uzes or the lively pulse of Nimes. Locally, schools, shopping, and all essentials are within reach, simplifying both the mundane tasks and the moments where you wish to explore the community around you.
