Uzès - just nearby, Exceptional Castle
A Millenary Masterpiece in the Heart of the Uzège
Auction scheduled for October 1, 2026. The pre-sale estimate ranges, excluding fees, between ¤2,250,000 and ¤3,750,000, with an asking price of ¤5,900,000.
Located in one of the most sought-after areas in the south of France, just minutes from Uzès, this exceptional castle perfectly marries ancient heritage with contemporary living.
Built in the 11th century and enhanced through the Renaissance and Classical periods, this historic residence is said to have hosted Jean Racine, who may have composed part of his work here. Today, following an extensive restoration, the castle is reborn in all its splendor, offering a turnkey home where every detail celebrates excellence.
Spanning over 1,200 m², the property revolves around an elegant vaulted inner courtyard, landscaped gardens, expansive terraces, and a private swimming pool. Exposed stone, centuries-old vaults, mullioned windows, grand staircases, and spectacular volumes blend harmoniously with a contemporary interior design, crafted with refined simplicity to preserve the spirit of the place.
Reception areas exude elegance. Large sunlit lounges, a grand dining room, more intimate sitting rooms, and luxurious private suites create a living environment as prestigious as it is timeless.
Designed to meet the highest standards, the professional kitchen combines state-of-the-art equipment with artisanal expertise. A private cinema, fitness area, elegant bar, hammam with wellness space, game room, and a wine cellar carved into the historic foundations complete the amenities of this exceptional residence.
The estate consists of two main wings as well as a separate guest house.
The Medieval Wing
The true historic heart of the castle, this wing dates back to the 11th century and retains all the nobility of its original architecture. Restored with the utmost care, it perfectly balances heritage authenticity with modern comfort.
It houses the main reception rooms and areas dedicated to hospitality. The bar and game room open naturally onto the pool terrace, creating a seamless flow between indoor and outdoor spaces.
One of the most remarkable features is an exceptional 11th-century spiral staircase, designed according to the defensive principles of the era. A significant portion of the eight million euros invested in the restoration was devoted to preserving this unique architectural treasure.
The restoration also uncovered two remarkable Renaissance windows, restored using traditional techniques with specially selected glazing to faithfully restore their original character.
On the ground floor, a large contemporary professional kitchen serves both outdoor receptions and dinners held in the impressive 12th-century dining room, dominated by a majestic period fireplace.
The 17th Century Wing
Built in the 17th century, this second wing spans three levels dedicated to private living spaces. It features generous suites, each designed as a full apartment, along with an independent kitchen opening directly onto the walled garden.
The Outdoors
Overlooking the entire estate, the historic tower majestically recalls the castle's medieval origins. It leads to a spectacular panoramic terrace with a jacuzzi, offering breathtaking views of the village, the Uzège countryside, and the Provençal horizons.
The carefully landscaped gardens form a true green sanctuary dotted with centuries-old trees, a charming inner courtyard, and multiple shaded terraces. The pool, perfectly integrated into its surroundings, enjoys complete privacy, shielded by the property's historic walls.
A Privileged Address
The castle boasts an exceptional location within an authentic village in the Gard, renowned for its quality of life, tranquility, and heritage.
Two well-known restaurants enliven the village center year-round, while Uzès, just six kilometers away, offers one of Provence's most beautiful living environments with its refined boutiques, art galleries, iconic markets, and vibrant cultural scene.
Access is remarkably convenient: the TGV station is only 35 kilometers away, Avignon and Nîmes are quickly reachable, and the airports of Nîmes and Montpellier provide international connections. The Mediterranean beaches, Rhône Valley vineyards, and iconic Provençal landscapes are all within easy reach.
An Exceptional Property
Residences of this caliber rarely come to market.
Combining nearly a thousand years of history, a restoration of outstanding quality, amenities worthy of the finest private homes, and a privileged location on the doorstep of Uzès, this castle stands as one of the most prestigious estates in southern France.
Far more than a residence, it represents a living heritage, beautifully reinvented to meet the demands of the 21st century.
