Description

This exceptional estate is nestled in absolute tranquility within a sublime, unspoiled natural setting, just minutes from the historic towns of Sommières and Nîmes. Upon arrival, a majestic cypress-lined driveway reminiscent of the finest Tuscan estates escorts visitors through a beautifully landscaped park filled with varied Mediterranean species.The property reveals two distinct buildings, each with its own powerful identity: the grand Mas and the historic mill house below.The Mas offers approximately 275 m² of beautifully renovated living space across two floors, its noble character evident in its handsome stone facades. The ground floor features comfortable, flowing living spaces (including a salon, living room, and kitchen) spanning around 75 m². Accessible via a separate entrance, two large bedrooms and a bathroom form a ground-floor sleeping area. This space offers excellent flexibility, as it can easily be reintegrated into the main house by opening an adjoining wall. The upper floor unveils a second lounge of about 40 m², bathed in natural light and opening onto a private terrace. This vantage point offers commanding views over the park, the swimming pool, and the mill below. Further along, a masterful 65 m² suite features refined finishes, including solid wood flooring, underfloor heating, and dual walk-in wardrobes. Its en-suite bathroom is a true haven of serenity, with a bathtub perfectly positioned to face the surrounding nature. A second beautiful 25 m² suite completes this level. The outdoor area of the Mas is enhanced by a heated infinity pool stretching over 11 meters, overlooking the park, the mill, and the river.Below the main house sits the mill, a magnificent 18th-century structure built directly on the riverbank that beautifully preserves the soul of its milling past. On the garden level, superb vaulted rooms still house the original stone millstones, standing as witnesses to centuries of history. The atmosphere here feels suspended in time, lulled by the gentle murmur of the water and uninterrupted views of the river current.The upper floor, the former miller's quarters, has been entirely reimagined to offer nearly 130 m² of authentic, high-comfort living space, including a warm living area and two generously sized bedrooms. This mill is far more than a guest house; it is a poetic sanctuary and a secret retreat where the historic stone meets the water's edge.The property is also equipped with excellent modern amenities, including solar panels, a heat pump, an electric vehicle charging station, and fiber-optic internet. Whether envisioned as a grand family residence or a high-end luxury hospitality project, this rare estate is an invitation to experience something truly extraordinary.

The Mas
Offering approximately 275 m² of beautifully renovated living space across two floors, the grand stone Mas stands as a testament to timeless elegance and noble architecture. The ground floor features comfortable, flowing living spaces spanning around 75 m², alongside a flexible guest wing with an independent entrance that can easily be reunited with the main house. Upstairs, the residence reveals a second spectacular 40 m² lounge that is bathed in natural light and opens onto a private terrace with commanding views over the estate. This level also houses the sleeping quarters, highlighted by a magnificent 65 m² master suite complete with solid wood flooring, underfloor heating, dual walk-in wardrobes, and an en-suite bathroom where the bathtub is perfectly positioned to face the surrounding nature. Seamlessly blending historic stone character with refined modern finishes, the Mas overlooks a stunning 11-meter heated infinity pool, creating an unmatched setting for relaxation and elegant entertaining.

The Moulin
Tucked away just below the main house, the magnificent 18th-century mill stands directly on the riverbank, beautifully preserving the authentic soul of its heritage. On the garden level, spectacular vaulted stone rooms still house the original historic millstones, creating an atmospheric retreat that feels entirely suspended in time and is gently lulled by the murmur of the water. Above, the former miller's quarters have been entirely reimagined into a highly comfortable and independent 130 m² residence, complete with a warm, open living space and two generously sized bedrooms. Far more than a simple guest house, this exceptional riverside building serves as a poetic, secret sanctuary where historic character meets the water's edge, offering a truly unique setting for guests or a luxury rental project.

The Pool & Gardens
The estate is entered via a majestic, Tuscan-style cypress driveway that sweeps through a beautifully landscaped park filled with mature Mediterranean trees and plants. This private green haven creates a deep sense of peace, with tree-lined pathways leading down to the riverbank where the natural beauty of the estate truly shines. Perfectly integrated into this setting is a spectacular 11-meter heated infinity pool. Positioned to offer commanding views over the grounds, the historic mill, and the gentle current of the river below, the pool area serves as a luxurious vantage point for relaxation. Together, the manicured gardens, natural riverfront scenery, and the striking infinity pool form a seamless outdoor sanctuary that is completely private and un-overlooked.

The Location
Ideally located just a few minutes from the historic and lively towns of Sommières and Nîmes, this estate offers a rare combination of absolute tranquility and convenient access. The property is hidden away in an unspoiled natural setting that feels entirely private and peaceful, yet it remains within easy reach of local markets, artisan shops, and excellent restaurants. Its strategic position in the region allows for effortless exploring, sitting within easy driving distance of both the vibrant Mediterranean coast and the dramatic landscapes of the Cévennes mountains. With excellent transport links close by, this location perfectly balances the calm of a secret countryside retreat with the cultural richness and convenience of Southern France.
