| Description: |
| Beside a small village in the Cévennes to the north west of Alès (Gard), and at the periphery of the Parc National des Cévennes this farmhouse offers tranquility and a vast panorama. The property stands alone on 6 hectares (15 acres) of land that rises to a crest and has a south to south easterly orientation. The sun is hence visible from morning to evening. The property consists in a main house of 210m². This has undergone a thorough structural restoration but requires interior fittings and the restoration of some of the terraces. Level with the garden, there is a large room (50m²), a boiler room (10m²), an additional room (15m²), and a vaulted room beneath a terrace. On the first floor is a large room of 70 m², a utility room (15m²), and a large terrace with summer use kitchen. On the second floor are two rooms (20m² and 15m²) and above one further room of 15m². Plumbing is installed throughout for the fitting of bathrooms. There are two neighbouring constructions of 40m² and 70-100m², both dating to the end of the 18th century and ideal for the creation of gite accommodation - the property is eligible for grants from the local tourism authorities for the creation of tourist accommodation. These are in a state of semi-ruin at present and physically separated by a courtyard. There are additional stone outbuildings on the grounds that could be used for accommodation pending extension. The land is terraced. A private spring offers 400 litres per day in dry conditions and 40 cubic metres in winter. An additional investment of 161,000€ would enable the completion of work on the main house and the full of restoration of two gites, thus giving a total interior surface area of approximately 350m². Detailed information is available on request. The N106 that links Ales to Florac is only 5 minutes away, but neither visible nor audible from the house. The Cambous lakes are close by for summer bathing. Alès is a quarter hour drive away, Nîmes one hour. A nearby train station offers links with Nimes and villages to the north. |
