A41672EEE30 - An exceptional estate in the heart of the Cévennes

An authentic manor house, a second home and almost 11,000 m² of land in an enchanting natural setting

In the heart of the Cévennes National Park, just outside the charming centre of Saint-André-de-Valborgne, this exceptional estate lies tucked away in a landscape where time seems to have found a different rhythm. An authentic property steeped in history, character and a rare natural setting, comprising an elegant manor house, a second building, a spacious garden and a separate wooded plot.

The main building is an imposing and charming mansion that immediately evokes a sense of authenticity and grandeur. Its proportions, volumes and existing architectural features are reminiscent of a bygone era and provide a wonderful basis for a high-quality renovation.

A number of the main living areas have already been renovated.

On the ground floor, there is a spacious kitchen with a dining area and a sitting room/library – two rooms that invite you to enjoy long meals, quiet evenings with a book, or conversations with family and friends.

The first floor currently comprises two renovated bedrooms and a bathroom. In addition, several other rooms on the first and second floors are still awaiting a new purpose and further finishing touches.

With respect for the property’s original character, an exceptional residence can be created here.

An impressive plot of approximately 6,000 m² surrounds the townhouse.

This spacious garden forms a natural extension of the house and offers an exceptional sense of space and privacy. It is easy to imagine how the days would unfold here: breakfast in the morning sun, long lunches under the trees, reading in the shade and, in the evening, enjoying the tranquillity so characteristic of the Cévennes.

A second home with many possibilities

A covered passageway leads to the estate’s second building.

This charming house has previously served as a holiday home and features, amongst other things, a large dining room. It thus offers an interesting complement to the main building and opens the door to numerous possibilities.

A guest house, family home, holiday accommodation, studio or self-contained living space — the final use can be tailored entirely to the future owner’s wishes and the applicable regulations.

The building also has a full basement, providing a considerable amount of extra space for storage, technical installations, a wine cellar, a workshop or other purposes.

Within walking distance lies a second, non-adjacent plot of approximately 4,900 m², largely wooded.

Here, one experiences the Cévennes as they are meant to be: authentic, green, unspoilt and deeply connected to the landscape.

Saint-André-de-Valborgne and the magic of the Cévennes

The location is undoubtedly one of this estate’s greatest assets.

Saint-André-de-Valborgne lies at the heart of the impressive Cévennes landscape, a region of wooded mountains, valleys, rivers, stone villages and winding roads. A setting that has attracted nature lovers, walkers and bon vivants for generations.

At the same time, the estate is situated a short distance from the village centre. This offers the rare combination of tranquillity and privacy on the one hand, and proximity to village life on the other.

This is a property for someone who recognises character, appreciates history and sees potential.

The parts that have already been renovated provide a solid foundation. The rooms still to be restored leave scope for a personal vision. The second house could be given a function all of its own, whilst the spacious garden and the separate woodland plot reinforce the feeling of a private estate.

With the right vision, an exceptional residence could be created here — a family home, a refined second home or a unique small-scale project where living and hospitality come together.

Naturally, any future uses will depend on the building’s technical capabilities and the necessary planning and other permits.

What ultimately makes this property so special is not any single element, but the combination of them all.

A historic mansion.
A second building.
A garden of approximately 6,000 m².
A separate wooded plot of approximately 4,900 m².
Almost 11,000 m² of land in total.
And above all: an exceptional location in the heart of the Cévennes.

A place to restore, to entertain, to create and, above all, to enjoy.

A rare opportunity to give a characterful French estate with a rich history a new future — set amidst one of the most authentic and enchanting landscapes in the South of France.
