Charming late 18th century farmhouse set within 2 hectares of magnificent Mediterranean parkland just minutes from Nîmes. Featuring elegant reception rooms, five bedrooms, a saltwater swimming pool, extensive outbuildings and renovation potential, this rare property combines historic character with an exceptional location close to all amenities.

Ideally positioned on the edge of the Garons plateau, just a few minutes from the historic centre of Nîmes, this delightful country estate enjoys a peaceful setting while remaining exceptionally well connected. Shops, restaurants and everyday amenities are all close by, while excellent transport links include the tram-bus, motorway network, Nîmes Airport and both Nîmes Centre and Manduel–Pont du Gard TGV stations.

Originally serving as the principal residence of a substantial wine estate, this authentic farmhouse dates from the late 18th and early 19th centuries and occupies approximately 2 hectares of beautifully wooded grounds. Rich in period character and enjoying complete privacy behind its enclosing walls, the property offers an increasingly rare opportunity to restore an elegant Provençal residence close to the heart of Nîmes.

Approached via a majestic tree-lined driveway, the farmhouse sits within a delightful walled Mediterranean park where mature trees create an atmosphere of peace and seclusion. A beautiful saltwater Diffazur swimming pool, with automated management system, provides a perfect focal point for outdoor living.

The principal residence extends to approximately 194 m2 over two floors and retains many original architectural features, including generous ceiling heights, traditional tiled floors, period fireplaces and well-proportioned reception rooms. The accommodation is arranged around a central entrance hall with staircase, leading to an elegant sitting room with fireplace, dining room and kitchen, all interconnected in the traditional style.

A half-landing accommodates a bedroom together with a bathroom and separate WC, while the upper floor comprises four further bedrooms, each with its own wash basin, including one bedroom with an en-suite shower room and dressing room.

Adjoining the farmhouse is an additional section of approximately 60 m2 arranged over two floors, requiring complete renovation and offering excellent potential to create additional accommodation, a guest house or a self-contained apartment, subject to the necessary permissions.

The property is equipped with oil-fired central heating served by a De Dietrich boiler, while water is supplied independently through a functioning borehole together with two private wells.

Although the farmhouse would benefit from interior modernisation, roof works and upgrading of the septic system, it provides an exceptional opportunity to restore a historic property while preserving its authentic character.
