Provencal Stone House with Private Pool-Gardens, 10 minutes from Uzes

Located 10 minutes from the bustling, Medieval town of Uzes, my property offers the best of both worlds: Town and Country!

THE COUNTRY
My 19th C property is a French country oasis, where you and your family can enjoy local food and wines, family games, swimming and sunbathing by the pool in privacy. Sample french cuisine and exceptional wine from local vineyards at the Village cafe (breakfast, lunch or dinner) or on the rear terrace, with seating up to 8 and a family-sized, stone BBQ. The alarmed, private pool, 10’ x 16’, is unique for the region with a shallow end of 3’ sloping down to 6’. Pool and s lighting insure that activities can extend from day well into the night. Grassy 'play ground’ is designed for badminton, croquet, boules, or other provided family games, and there is a village tennis court within walking distance! You can choose to hike up ancient village paths for spectacular views or explore enchanting neighboring villages on bike or horseback. Or just relax, reading by the pool surrounded with fragrant flowers and woodland hills.

My property was restored by an international designer, combining both antique and modern touches to create a holiday home with both modern comfort and french country charm. Original wood beams and floors have been restored; marble travertine tiles add elegance to the ground floor; and traditional stone walls have been renovated. The kitchen is equipped with new Bosch stainless appliances, coffee maker, toaster and every cooking convenience incorporated into a classic French tiled worktop. The bathrooms have sinks on antique chests and zinc tables as well as ceramic baths with contemporary American ‘pressure’ showers. The master bedroom has traditional pine armoires and cupboards, plus side tables featuring antique stone pillars. The twin bed guest room has mahogany beams and original wood floors. A top floor bedroom and en suite bath feature a rustic metal double bed and a built-in closet with a 19th C french door.
A magical oasis for you and your family to enjoy a French country holiday.
