This charming detached house is on land of 4000m2, and is just two kilometres from the busy market town of Bessèges, with supermarket, schools, and restaurants. The land surrounds the house, and you could build a swimming pool here. There are lovely views across the valley, and woods behind the house. The loft could be transformed into extra accommodation. Opposite the house, down a slope, is part of the land which has private river access. It is a very pretty setting. There is a large terrace to the front of the house, and a conservatory to the back.

It is just 12 kilometres from the medieval market town of St Ambroix, which has primary and secondary schools, three supermarkets, and lots of individual food shops. There is a very large lively weekly market, and the town hold many festivals and antique fairs. There is a weekly "vide greniers" every Saturday in the main square. To the north you have the cévennes national park, and you can ski (snow permitting!) just 35 kilometres away, near Villefort, with its large lake, in the Lozère.
In this region swimming is popular in isolated and magical surrounding rivers, and other outdoor activities include canoeing, horse-riding, kayaking, cycling and mountain climbing. There are famous caves including the Caverne Pont d'Arc, with its cave paintings, recently opened to the public. The Ardèche Gorges are very close by, and are not to be missed. You can swim in the rivers, go to water parks, visit lovely old walled towns, have a coffee in the sunshine or go wine tasting at one of the many vineyards.
There are many fascinating cities to visit, including Nîmes, Avignon, Anduze, Alès, Uzès, Montpellier and Marseille, and the Mediterranean coast is also within reach at 120kms at Grau-du-Roi, Sainte Marie de la Mer and the Camargue. Conveniently situated for connections to airports at Nimes (45 miles), Avignon (56 miles) and Montpellier (75 miles)
