Overview

Perched like a crown jewel above the vibrant pulse of Alès, this extraordinary 400m² château whispers of a life where grandeur meets effortless modernity. Here, in the sun-drenched embrace of Occitanie, history and contemporary elegance intertwine beneath soaring ceilings that cradle the golden hour’s glow. No distant retreat, but a sovereign’s residence—steps from the rhythm of the city, yet untouched by its clamor, as if time itself has been gentled by the stone and light.

The moment you ascend, the world unfolds beneath you. A Tropezian terrace, vast as the horizon, beckons with panoramic vistas of rolling rooftops and the distant Cevennes’ misty blue silhouette—a stage for dawn’s first blush or twilight’s lingering caress. Here, the air carries the scent of lavender and warm stone, where evenings dissolve into starlit conversations and the clink of glasses raised to the southern sky.

Within, six magnificent chambers unfold like chapters of a novel, each with space enough for dreams to stretch. A games room hums with the promise of laughter, while twin kitchens—one for the art of daily living, another for the spectacle of gathering—stand ready to host feasts or quiet mornings steeped in coffee and sunlight. The bones of this home are noble: a cellar, deep and cool, offers sanctuary for treasures or ambition, while the roof, meticulously restored with materials chosen for eternity, shelters all beneath its unwavering grace.

Yet its genius lies in possibility. Three self-contained floors, each a kingdom unto itself, await your vision—whether a legacy for generations, a canvas for liberal professions, or an investment woven from the threads of Alès’ ever-thriving heart. The garage and expansive land whisper of potential: a courtyard of olive trees, perhaps, or sleek parking for guests who arrive to marvel at what you’ve created.

This is no mere property, but a rare alchemy—a château that breathes with the soul of a village and the poise of a palace. The train station’s convenience is a murmur in the distance; the boutiques and cafés of Alès, a stroll away. Yet here, above it all, you are the curator of a life where every detail—from the play of light on original plaster to the hush of the city below—is yours to shape.

The keys to this enchantment await. Will you be the one to unlock its next chapter?
