These two 19th century stone houses were virtually in ruins, but have been beautifully renovated. The big plus for this property is the 2000m2 land, right in the centre of this lively village with lots going on. Here you have a primary school, bakery, grocers, PO, restaurants, cafés...all within five minutes' walk..yet the house is not overlooked, as it has so much land.
The main house has two reception rooms, a large kitchen, and two bedrooms...plus a spa indoor room (all stone), a large vaulted stone games room, and several cellars. It also has a large covered terrace leading off from the main bedroom. The owners have paved with stone the alleyway between the two residences, which gives a feeling of space, of being in a small hamlet!
The second house has a self-contained gite, with two bedrooms, and down below is the 140m2 main terrace for the main house, partially covered so that you can eat and relax here in sun..and rarely..the rain! It also has a summer kitchen that opens out directly onto this terrace. There are two large gardens, one with olives and palms, the other mainly for vegetables, but where you could construct another building.
Here in the village of Gagnières there is an international population...French, English, Swiss, Belgian and Dutch, just to begin! You are right in the foothills of the beautiful Cévennes, a Unesco natural park. 45 minutes away, near Villefort (water sports centre) you can overland ski in winter. In the opposite direction you are not far from Barjac (Renaissance village with very popular market) and Les Vans, a medieval town with excellent restaurants and weekly market. Uzès and Nimes are also within easy reach...Uzès an hour, Nimes an hour and a half.
