Property in Gajan

This exceptional family property bears witness to a long history.
A former possession of the Duc d’Uzès, it was also the preferred meeting place for Protestants during the Camisard war, and notably welcomed Jean Cavalier and Paul Rabaut.
Ideally situated just a stone’s throw from Nîmes, today it offers an incredibly unspoilt environment, free from any nuisance. A veritable haven of greenery, it extends over almost 76 hectares of cultivated land and woodland, all in one piece, with a magnificent view.

The buildings are arranged in a U-shape around an elegant entrance courtyard, with the main house in the center and the outbuildings on either side. The whole building is very attractive. Opposite the entrance courtyard, the manor house opens onto a delightful park with century-old trees and a beautiful 12mx7m swimming pool and pool house, adding to the nobility and charm of the setting. The property’s location is no coincidence: a well built in the past with a wheel and noria (now equipped with a pump), together with a cistern and a wash-house, has provided the water supply for several centuries. Of course, the farmhouse has also been connected to the Nîmes Métropôle public water supply network for several years now, and a second well has also been created.

The property comprises a Maison de Maître (first built in 1640) that has undergone several alterations, notably the addition of reception rooms on the park side, crowned by a magnificent terrace, in the early 19th century, as well as numerous large outbuildings including 3 apartments and a janitor’s cottage.
The dwellings represent approx. 640m² of living space.
