A48247DIV30 - EXCLUSIVE HISTORIC CASTLE IN SOUTHERN FRANCE
An exceptional 4.6-hectare estate on the banks of the Cèze
Some properties make a lasting impression. Others tell a story.
In the sun-drenched countryside of the Gard, near Provence and the Ardèche, this remarkable historic château dating from the early 19th century awaits a new owner. Built by a general from the Napoleonic era, this elegant residence exudes history, authenticity and timeless grandeur.
Tucked away behind the walls of a private estate spanning no less than 4.6 hectares, an exceptional living environment unfolds, where centuries-old trees, a romantic orchard, a lush bamboo garden and the banks of the River Cèze combine to form an idyllic setting.
With approximately 370 m² of living space, 9 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, an indoor swimming pool and an impressive orangery of approximately 200 m², this property offers a rare combination of historic charm, space and versatility.Timeless elegance and authentic materials
Behind the characterful façade lies a warm and harmonious interior, spread over three storeys. The spacious central reception hall, measuring approximately 35 m², forms the heart of the castle and offers a charming view through to the terraces and the leafy park.
The drawing rooms, dining room and kitchen flow seamlessly into one another, inviting you to enjoy long dinners, cosy evenings by the fireside and unforgettable moments with family and friends.
Original terracotta floors, traditional flagstones and authentic cement tiles emphasise the historic character of this exceptional residence.
On the first floor are three suites, including one with a private terrace and a spacious family suite with an antechamber. The second floor features four additional bedrooms and a bathroom, with scope to further tailor the spaces to your requirements.
A private park with an exceptional natural setting
The walled estate forms a green world unto itself. Mature trees cast their shade over the footpaths, whilst the former orchard and the bamboo garden lend the landscape an almost timeless character.
Several trees are listed as part of the local heritage. The park slopes gently down to the Cèze, making the river a natural part of daily life on the estate.Here you can enjoy long summer days on the terrace, breakfast with a view of the greenery, and warm evenings under the southern starry sky.
An indoor swimming pool and an impressive orangery
The swimming pool, situated beneath a glass conservatory, is a particular highlight: a place to relax all year round, surrounded by light and nature.
In addition, the orangery, measuring approximately 200 m², offers exceptional potential. Think of stylish receptions, private events, cultural gatherings or a sophisticated hospitality concept. Combined with the outbuildings and the spacious outdoor surroundings, this creates a wide range of possibilities, subject to the applicable zoning and planning permission conditions.
Contemporary comfort in a historic setting
During the renovation works in 2022, attention was paid to modern living comfort, including double-glazed wooden windows, a biogas boiler and fibre-optic broadband.
This ensures that the historic character of the castle is preserved, whilst everyday comfort meets today’s expectations.
A prime location in the South of France
The estate is situated in Saint-Ambroix, a charming village in the Gard where tranquillity and natural beauty go hand in hand with convenient amenities. Shops are within walking distance.

A rare opportunity to acquire a piece of southern French history and give a new future to an estate with character, space and allure.
