Detached House in Garrigues-Sainte-Eulalie, Gard

In the village of Garrigues Sainte Eulalie, a picturesque medieval village 9km from Uzès and 25km from Nimes, 19 made to measure, traditionally styled houses are to be built. This picturesque village of the Languedoc countryside has a fortified castle, home to the village noblemen from 1250 to 1720, a Romanesque chapel, and pigeonnier. The houses are to adopt traditional construction materials and styles in order to blend with this rich Mediterranean architecture. Stonework, traditionally styled windows and shutters, Languedoc pantile roofs and 'genoises' (multiple layers of pantiles where walls meet the roof) will all be very visible features.

Schooling facilities are available for young children in the village, and for older children in the surrounding area. Uzès is a source of all other amenities, besides offering fabulous markets and numerous festivals. In addition there are endless possibilities for hiking, a 9 hole golf club in Uzès, fishing and bathing in the nearby Alzon river which meets the Gardon before flowing beneath the Roman Pont du Gard.

Prices are a function of habitable and plot sizes - which vary from 1200m² to 2150m² - and the choice of fittings. A 150m² house on 1200m² of land will be of the order of 400,000€. Larger houses could be envisaged. The sale of a plot only can be envisaged (prices range from 124,000€ to 189,000€) in order to enable construction entirely to one's specification, this on the basis that urban planning regulations are respected. Reduced notary fee rates of 2.5 to 3% will be applicable.
