5 Bed House for sale
Portes, Gard, Languedoc-Roussillon, France
Full Description
Built circa 1850, renovated in 1990 and 2007, this is an extraordinary property nestled in a vast forest with breathtaking views over a valley. One of the houses needs a thorough renovation and the other, more recent, an update to todays tastes in decoration. The "pluses" of these houses include its dominant position at the top of a valley, the sublime and unique setting - a real ocean of green (indeed a 4x4 vehicle is mandatory), breathtaking views from the large terraces and other viewpoints around the houses, the possibility of 6 bedrooms, a mobile home currently used for seasonal rentals and a separate pool and terrace area with incredible views over the valley.
This charming house is an island of peace and quiet - here you are really in the heart of the forest as we can imagine it in Canada - but under basking in Occitanian sunshine. Surrounded by pines and oaks at the end of a road requiring a 4x4 vehicle for the steep and uneven passages, the arrival in the generous car park is simply splendid. Here, the wildlife in the forest is literally on your doorstep - and all the way to the horizon. Not far from the small village of Portes, the houses remain relatively close to the local shops without forgetting all the amenities available in Alès. This property is perfect for one or two families or even all people who love deep, unspoilt nature without any nearby disturbances or dwellings. It should be noted that the lucky buyers should have a taste for adventure, renovation and sharing moments that are both peaceful and fulfilling.
