Full Description
Late 19th-century 'mansion' with landscaped garden and swimming pool. Just 10 minutes west of Nimes, in the heart of picturesque Vaunage, this superb mansion embodies all the refinement of late 19th-century bourgeois architecture. Built in a charming village nestled in a natural depression surrounded by amphitheater-like hills, it offers a unique living environment between Provence and Languedoc. Of rare elegance, this 'mansion house'-inspired residence seduces with the perfect symmetry of its three-bay facade, its majestic stone steps, its sculpted balcony, and its Mansard roof topping a bright, furnished top level, enlivened by dormers with rounded pediments. From the entrance, the tone is set: a through vestibule leads to the generously proportioned reception rooms, enhanced by remarkable high ceilings, period fireplaces, staff decor, refined woodwork, and authentic cement and granite tile floors. A beautiful central staircase connects the upper floor, where bedrooms, boudoirs, and bathrooms are located, in a cozy and elegant atmosphere. The property sits on a vast, wooded plot of 2,606 m², a veritable green setting resembling a private park, planted with cypresses, boxwood, and ornamental trees, and featuring a beautiful swimming pool perfectly integrated into the landscape. An exceptional residence, ideal for a characterful main residence, a family home, or a high-end hospitality project, in a preserved environment, close to major roads and the cultural life of Nîmes.
